6.10 Operation
m
Important!
•
After every new adjustment we recommend you to make a trial cut in
order to check the new settings.
•
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach its maximum
speed of rotation before commencing with the cut.
•
Take extra care when starting the cut!
•
Never use the equipment without the suction function.
•
Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
6.10.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Fig. 39)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when you use the saw to
cut along the grain of the wood. Press one edge of the workpiece against
the parallel stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The 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.
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the workpiece height and
the desired width. (See 6.4.)
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Place your hands flat on the workpiece and push the workpiece along
the parallel stop (7) and into the blade (5).
•
Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending on the posi-
tion of the parallel stop) only as far as the front edge of the saw blade
guard (2).
•
Always push the workpiece through to the end of the splitter (4).
•
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until the blade (5) is
back in its resting position.
•
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g.
with a roller stand etc.).
6.10.11 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 40)
Be sure to use a push stick (17) when making longitudinal cuts in workpi-
eces smaller than 120 mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick immediately.
