11. Using the equipment
11.1 Working instructions
• After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry
out a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions.
• After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before com-
mencing with the cut.
•
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e. g. with a roller stand etc.).
• Take extra care when starting the cut.
• Never use the equipment without the suction func-
tion.
• Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
11.2 Suitability of the saw blades
• 24 teeth: soft materials, high degree of chip take-
off, coarse cutting pattern
• 48 teeth (not included in the scope of delivery):
hard materials, lower degree of chip take-off, finer
cutting pattern
11.3 Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 20)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut
along the grain of the wood. One edge of the work-
piece will be pressed against the parallel stop (13),
while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The saw blade guard (2) must always be lowered over
the workpiece. When making a longitudinal cut, never
adopt a working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
1. Set the parallel stop (13) and the stop rail (28)
in accordance with the workpiece height and the
desired width.
2. Switch on the saw.
3.
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on
the workpiece and push the workpiece along the
stop rail (28) into the saw blade (4).
4. Guide at the side with your left or right hand (de-
pending on the position of the parallel stop) only
as far as the front edge of the saw blade guard (2).
5. Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (3).
6.
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until
the saw blade (4) is back in its position of rest.
7.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.).
ATTENTION:
The parallel stop must be set parallel
with the saw blade. Check the alignment and firm
seating of the parallel stop (13), particularly during
use and after longer periods not in use. Vibrations
can loosen screw connections and change the posi-
tion of the parallel stop. If necessary, adjust the par-
allel stop and tighten the knurled nut (i). Tighten the
screw connections (k) with the Allen key (not included
in the scope of delivery) (fig. 17a).
11.3.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (fig. 21)
Be sure to use a push stick (16) when making lon-
gitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in
width. A push stick (16) is supplied with the saw! Re-
place a worn or damaged push stick (16) immediately.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (13) to the width of work-
piece you require.
2. Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always
use the push stick (16) in the area of the saw
blade.
3. Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (3).
m
WARNING:
With short workpieces, use the push
stick from the beginning.
11.3.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces
Be sure to use a push block when making longitudinal
cuts in very narrow workpieces with a width of 30 mm
and less. There is no push block supplied with the
saw! (Available from your specialist dealer) Replace
the push block without delay when it becomes worn.
When sawing workpieces, these can become
jammed between the parallel stop and the saw blade,
be caught by the saw blade, and be thrown from the
machine. Therefore, the low guide face of the parallel
stop is best used in this case. If required, change over
the stop rail (see 10.4.2).
1. Adjust the parallel stop to the width of workpiece
you require.
2. Use the push block to press the workpiece against
the stop rail and push the workpiece with the push
stick (16) through to the end of the splitter (3).
11.3.3 Making angular cuts (fig. 22)
Angular cuts must always be made using the parallel
stop (13). The parallel stop (13) must always be fitted
to the right of the saw blade. Otherwise, workpieces
can become jammed between the parallel stop and
the saw blade during sawing and ejected at speed.
1. Set the saw blade to the desired angle.
2. Set the parallel stop (13) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height.
3. Carry out the cut in accordance with the work-
piece width.
11.4 Making transverse cuts (fig. 23)
1. Push the transverse stop (29) into one of the two
grooves (26a/b) of the saw table and set it to the
required angle. If the sawblade (4) is also to be
set at an angle, use the groove (26a) that pre-
vents your hand and the transverse stop coming
into contact with the saw blade guard.
2. Use the stop rail (28).
3.
Press the workpiece firmly against the transverse
stop (29)/stop rail (28).
4. Switch on the saw.
