OPERATION
Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing out of the line of cutting(danger zone)
Work piece handling
Hands placed flat on the work piece outside the cutting area.
Feed the work piece towards the saw blade in the direction of the saw line. Push the work piece steadily forward;
complete the cut as a single movement.
Support long and wide work pieces with helping roller stands.
Operating hints:
Always observe the safety instructions and adhere to the current regulations.
Ensure that the saw blade protective cover is in the correct position before you start sawing.
The cutting blade must first reach the maximum speed before cutting may begin.
Attention
The condition of the blade should be checked before each machining process.
Work only with a sharp and flawless saw blade
Never use a saw blade rated with a blade speed lower than the machine.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning under the pressure of the cut.
Use suitable table extensions and supporting aids for difficult to handle work pieces.
Always hold and guide the work pieces safely during machining.
Do not perform any operation freehand.
Do not perform any grooving, tenoning or splitting operations on the machine.
When ripping narrow work pieces (width less than 120mm) use a push-stick or push-wood
.
Make sure that small cut off work pieces will not be caught and thrown away by the rising saw blade teeth.
Remove cut and jammed work pieces only when motor is turned off and the machine is at a complete
standstill.
Pay particular attention on reducing the risk of kickback.
The supplied riving knife must always be used.
Inspect for correct adjustments
