cing with the cut.
• Take extra care when starting the cut!
• Never use the equipment without the suction function.
• Regularly check and clean the suction chan-nels.
• The cap on the blade guard can be removed in order to be able to connect a suction hose to the blade
guard.
• A suction adapter set for connecting a vacuum extraction system to the blade guard and to the suction
adapter is available as an accessory.
8.1.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 19)
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 fl at side lies on the saw table (1).
The guard hood (2) must always be lowered over theworkpiece.When you make 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 7.3.)
• Switch on the saw.
• Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the workpiece and push the workpiece along the parallel
stop (7) and into the blade (4).
• Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending on the position of the parallel stop) only as far
as the front edge of the gu-ard hood.
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the splitter (5).
• The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until the blade (4) is back in its position of rest.
• Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.).
8.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 20)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in
width. A push block is supplied with the saw! Replace a worn or damaged push stick im-mediately.
• Be sure to use a push block when making longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces with a width of 30
mm and less.
• The low guide face of the parallel stop is best used in this case.
• There is no push block supplied with the saw! (Available from your specialist dealer). Replace the push
block without delay when it becomes worn.
8.1.4. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 14/22)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel stop (7).
• Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. (See 7.5.)
• Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the workpiece width and height (see 7.3.1)
• Carry out the cut in accordance with the work-piece width (see 8.1.1., 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.)
8.1.5. Making cross cuts (Fig. 23)
• Slide the cross stop (21) into one of the grooves (21) in the table and adjust to the required angle. (See
7.4.) If you also want to tilt the blade (4), use the groove (21) which prevents your hand and the cross
stop frommaking contact with the blade guard.
• Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop (14).
• Switch on the saw.
• Push the cross stop (14) and the workpiece toward the blade in order to make the cut.
