4.2 Chip extraction
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inside diameter of hose connector 6 (Fig. 1) is 58
mm (2 9/32 in.).
4.3 Saw blade selection
Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts across the grain in soft and hard wood,
plywood, chipboard and coreboards:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 370 x 4.2 x 30 mm (14 ¾
x 11/64 in. x 30 mm), 26 teeth
For cuts along the grain in soft and hardwood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 370 x 4.2 x 30 mm (14 ¾
x 11/64 in. x 30 mm), 18 teeth
4.4 Replacing the saw blade
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Proceed as follows to replace the saw blade:
Press the stop lever 15 (Fig. 2) to lock the saw
blade.
Place the hexagon head socket wrench that is
available in a bracket on the machine into the
flange screw 4 (Fig. 1) and turn it until the stop
lever has engaged completely. Turn the wrench
counter clockwise
to release the flange screw.
Remove the screw and the front clamping flange
5. After opening the rectractable saw guard 1,
you can now remove the saw blade by lifting it
to the front and then pulling it in a downward
direction.
Before mounting the new saw blade, both
clamping flanges must be checked for adhering
parts and cleaned. Pay attention to the sense of
rotation when inserting the saw blade. The saw
blade teeth must point in the same direction as
the arrow on the upper saw guard. Afterwards,
mount the clamping flange, attach the flange
screw and tighten it by
clockwise
turning. In
doing so, the stop lever can be used in the
same way as when the screw was released.
Do not press the locking bolt 15
(Fig. 2) with the machine running!
The machine may get damaged.
4.5 Riving knife / splitter
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
The riving knife / splitter 2 (Fig. 1) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in Fig. 3.
For adjustment, unfasten the two cylinder-head
screws 3 (Fig. 1) with the hexagon head socket
wrench supplied, adjust the riving knife / splitter
by moving it accordingly in its longitudinal slot
and afterwards retighten the two cylinder-head
screws.
5 Operation
5.1 Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must
be made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular
attention
to
the
chapter
"Safety
instructions".
5.2 Switching on and off
Switching on:
First of all, unlock the switch-on
lock by pressing the locking lever 8 (Fig. 4).
Then, keeping the locking lever depressed,
activate the gearshift lever 7.
As this is a switch without locking device, the
machine will only run for as long as this gearshift
lever is pressed.
The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free
acceleration when the machine is switched on and
under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting.
In addition, this electronic system adjusts the motor
down in case of overload, i.e. the saw blade will stop.
Switch the machine off then. Then switch the
machine on again and continue sawing at a reduced
feed speed.
