front of the saw.
Reinstall flange and arbor nut and
securely tighten.
Remove the locking pin (K).
Check the correct position of the
raving knife in regards to the saw
blade (see Chapter 7.2).
Reinstall the saw guard.
7.2 Mounting the raving knife
The supplied raving knife must always
be used.
The machine is equipped with a raving
knife for the use of sawblades
diameter 250 mm.
The raving knife has to be adjusted in
such a way that over its entire length
the gap between sawblade and raving
knife does not exceed min. 3 mm and
max. 8 mm (Fig 15).
Fig 15
The raving knife (P, Fig 16) can be
adjusted in both vertical and
horizontal direction.
The height setting has to be adjusted
in such a way that the sawguard
bottom never exceeds more than 3
mm above the highest placed
sawblade tooth.
After height adjustment always locks
the central bolt (Q).
For slotting or grooving a special
raving knife is needed.
The raving knife has to be adjusted in
such a way that the upper part of the
raving knife is never set lower than the
highest saw tooth in use.
Never remove this raving knife.
Kickbacks are severe and very
dangerous.
No submerged cuts by removing the
raving knife and/or saw guard may be
performed.
7.3 Mounting the saw guard
The sawguard (O) must always be
used.
Attach the saw guard to the raving
knife (P).
The sawguard must be lowered to the
workpiece to minimise the amount of
exposed teeth.
Fig 16
Adjustment shall never be performed
when the machine is running.
The saw guard has to be connected to
the dust extractor system.
7.4 Rising and tilting sawblade
Setup adjustments of the sawblade
shall never be performed when the
machine is running.
Use the front hand wheel to raise the
sawblade (one turn of the handwheel
equals to 1,6mm of height setting).
Use the left hand wheel to tilt the
sawblade.
Both 45° and 90° positive stops are
factory set and need no adjustment.
Start the machine with care.
7.5 Sliding table setup
Sliding table setup shall never be
performed when the machine is
running.
When loading panels and when
cutting using the parallel fence the
sliding table must be locked.
If over a long period of time many
short movements of the sliding table
are made by e.g. crosscutting solid
wood, then it is possible that the ball
carrier between the upper and lower
part of the sliding table will move.
This means it will no longer be
correctly positioned to allow the
sliding table to slide through its full
course.
The operator will feel resistance in the
sliding table motion and the full stroke
will not be achieved.
This effect can be corrected simply by
pushing the table with a few short,
light pushes against the buffer stop at
the end, until the position of the ball
carrier is adjusted and the table can
be moved again along its full stroke.
It is recomm ended to clean the sliding
table once a week, and to remove all
sawdust and chips which gradually
slow down the sliding table.
Never use oil or grease!
7.6 Rip fence setup
Rip fence setup shall never be
performed when the machine is
running.
When cutting small workpieces with
the saw unit inclined at 45°, the fence
must be used in the low position.
When cross cutting using the parallel
fence, to avoid the wood getting stuck
between the fence and the riving knife
(resulting in a highly dangerous
kickback) it is necessary to position
the fence so that its end corresponds
with the front of the sawblade.
Start the machine with precaution.
The rip fence must be parallel to the
sawblade and is adjusted at the
factory.
8. Maintenance and inspection
General notes:
Maintenance, cleaning and repair
work may only be carried out after
the machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the
mains plug.
Repair and maintenance work on the
electrical system may only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
Clean the machine regularly.
Inspect the proper function of the dust
extraction daily.
Keep the inside of the cabinet clear of
sawdust and wood chips. Make sure
the motor fan and fan cover are also
kept clear of sawdust.
