measurement is the same for all cutting angles! If the
parallel stop is used on the right-hand side of the
machine, the chain width must still be deducted from
this measure (6.8 mm for a vertical cut). However, in
this case it is recommended to determine the correct
setting by executing a trial cut. If the right-hand side
of the chain is used to saw at the marking, tracing
edges 27 graduated according to cutting angle apply
(Fig. 6).
4.6 Setting for angle cuts (bevel and jack rafter
cuts)
In order to carry out bevel cuts and in both directions,
to the right up to 60°, to the left up to 15°. To do so,
the machine is placed onto the trolley such that the
guide rail is free moving. After unfastening of the
handle 16 (Fig. 1) and deactivating the locking lever
by pulling and twisting the handle 9, the machine can
be tilted. The cutting angle can be read of the angle
scale 17.
If the locking lever is activated, this facilitates setting
the 0° and 45°- positions.
Depending on the set cutting angle, the maximum
cutting depths amount to:

After setting the cutting angle, retighten handle 16.
4.7 Setting the glider
Use the glider 31 (Fig. 12) if the machine is used on
the guide rail F 80, 110, 160, 210, 310 to prevent it
from tilting to the right. If the machine is inclined, you
need to adjust the glider to the right.
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
Danger
Before switching on the machine,
pay attention that the guide rail and
the saw chain are unobstructed.
The workspace underneath the
workpiece must be free of
obstacles. Lead the connecting
cable away to the rear. Hold the
machine with both hands by the
handles provided for that purpose.
Switching on:
First unlock the switch-on lock
by pressing the locking lever 10.1 (Fig. 1) to the
front. Then actuate the control lever 10. As this
is a switch without locking device, the machine
will only run for as long as this switch is
pressed.
The carpenter's chain saw ZSX TWIN-Ec is equipped
with an electronic speed control. The speed is set to
3600 rpm
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.
Switching off:
To switch off, release the switch
trigger 10. The switch-on lock automatically
takes effect again and secures the carpenter's
chain saw against accidental switch-on.
5.3 Work instructions
Handling and layout of the carpenter's chain saw ZSX
TWIN-Ec corresponds to a portable circular saw. The
riving knife/splitter 4 prevents the saw chain from
jamming and the safeguard of the bottom chain
deflection a turning up of the machine. It is
particularly suited for cross cuts and longitudinal cuts
requiring a large cutting depth, in particular also for
joining laminated timber.
Before switching on, place the machine with its base
plate 3 such onto the workpiece that there is not yet
any contact between saw chain and workpiece. Hold
the machine by both handles 1 and 2 and after
switching on, slide evenly forwards without canting.
Therefore, if possible, always guide the machine with
