Sawing
WARNING! Risk of injury!
There is a risk of serious injuries if the
bench-type circular saw is handled impro-
perly.
•
Do not position yourself head-on in
front of the bench-type circular saw
when performing longitudinal cuts,
but position yourself at an angle to the
course of the cut.
•
Always use the parallel stop when ma-
king angular cuts.
•
Use a push stick or push block to feed
the workpiece past the saw blade. If the
push stick is damaged or worn, replace
it immediately.
•
Secure long workpieces against falling
off at the end of the cut. To do so, use
e.g. standard roller stands, etc.
•
After every new adjustment, make a
trial cut in order to check the set dimen-
sions.
•
After switching on the bench-type
circular saw, wait for the blade to reach
its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
•
Take extra care when starting the cut!
•
Only use the bench-type circular saw
together with a vacuum extraction de-
vice.
•
Regularly check and clean the suction
channels.
Making longitudinal cuts
When you make a longitudinal cut, you cut
the workpiece in its longitudinal direction.
To do so, press one edge of the workpiece
against the parallel stop (20) while the fl at
side lies on the saw table (1).
1. Set the parallel stop in accordance with
the workpiece height and the desired
width (see the section “Parallel stop”).
2. Lower the saw blade guard (2) down to
the saw table. When sawing, the saw
blade guard will be pressed up by the
workpiece.
3. Switch on an extraction system and
then the bench-type circular saw.
4. Place your hands (with fi ngers closed)
fl at on the workpiece and push the
workpiece along the parallel stop and
into the saw blade (31).
5. Provide guidance 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 saw blade
guard.
6. Always push the workpiece through to
the end of the splitter (4).
7. Switch off the bench-type circular saw
and the vacuum extraction system.
