Always use a guiding device.
Secure the workpiece against dislocation and
arrange the workpiece supports such that the
tool underneath the workpiece is running freely
(in case of a severing cut).
Hold the machine by the handle and place the
front part of the base plate onto the workpiece.
Switch on the groove-cutting machine (see 5.2).
Plunge to the set cutting depth and slide the
machine evenly forward in the direction of the
cut.
After the end of the cut, switch off the groove-
cutting machine by releasing the gearshift lever
8 (Fig. 5).
While it is resting on the workpiece, pull the
machine back into home position and in this
position remove it from the workpiece.
Proceeding in this manner ensures that the
retractable saw guard is completely closed.
The saw unit tilts back into the top locked
position.
5.9 Working with the parallel stop
The parallel stop 18 (Fig. 2) is used to work parallel to
an already existing edge. The limit stop can be
attached to the left or right of the machine. The
cutting range on the right-hand side amounts to
approx. 170 mm (6 45/64 in.)and on the left-hand side
to approx. 345 mm (13 37/64 in.).
When working with the parallel stop, set the
cutting depth indicator 10 (Fig. 8) by turning it
into the bottom position (without rail).
The rods of the parallel stop have a scaling,
which refers to the left-hand side of the saw
blade.
You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 19 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
In addition, by simply turning it around, the parallel
stop can also be used as double support to improve
groove-cutting machine guidance (guide surface for
the workpiece edge is pointing upwards). Now the
machine can be guided along a lath that is fastened
on the workpiece.
5.10 Working with the roller edge guide
The parallel stop 20 (Fig. 3) is used to work parallel to
an already existing edge. The limit stop can be
attached to the left or right of the machine. The
cutting range on the right-hand side amounts to
approx. 0 - 100 mm (0 – 3 15/16 in.) and on the left-
hand side to approx. 23 - 230 mm (29/32 – 9 1/16
in.).
When working with the roller edge guide, set the
cutting depth indicator 10 (Fig. 8) by turning it
into the bottom position (without rail).
The rods of the parallel stop have a scaling,
which refers to the left-hand side of the saw
blade.
You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 19 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
Now the machine can be guided along a narrow
workpiece running below the base plate.
5.11 Setting for mitre cuts (only for KSS design)
Release the limit stop 40 (Fig. 7) and adjust the
angle according to the scale on the guide rail.
Retighten the limit stop.
Using the two stop bolts on the bottom side of
the guide rail, apply the machine to the
workpiece to be machined. Then carry out the
cut by advancing the machine.
After the cut, return the saw to its starting
position by retracting it.
Quick adjustment of the repeater stops 43 (Fig. 7)
Using the Allen key 4 (Fig. 2), turn the
hexagonal bolt in the repeater stop by approx. ½
revolution counter clockwise.
Push the repeater stop against the permanently
set stop from the side facing away from 0°, so
that it rests behind the stop.
Tighten the hexagonal bolt in the repeater stop.
Also set the repeater stop on the opposite 0°
side accordingly.
