xii. THE RIP GUIDE
xiii. OPERATING THE SAW
The MasterGuide is a two-piece assembly consisting
of a template base and a unique detachable ruler
guide. This permits any cutting angle between 0°
and 45° , with 22° and 30° clearly designated. The
ruler guide also doubles as a measurement tool to
accurately measure slabs up to a foot in length.
The MasterGuide has a locking mechanism that
secures the ruler guide firmly to the template base.
1.
After you have made yourself familiar with the
components of you saw, the machine has been
properly set up, the bucket or water tray is filled with
water, and the electrical connection is established
accordance with the relevant safety regulations, you
may now begin with the cutting operation.
2.
Before you start operation open the water shut-off
valve.
3.
During the operation, the user must stand in front
side of the saw, holding the handle of the swivel-joint
cutting head with his left hand. The workpiece must
rest on the work table and should be pressed tightly
against the side and limit stops with the right hand.
4.
Always turn off the saw before you leave the machine
unattended.
5.
After the cutting operation is finished, prevent
accidental restarting of the saw by pushing the
emergency stop from the switch bracket and
unplugging the power cable.
A. CUTTING AT
CONSTANT DEPTH
When cutting at constant depth the cutting head
must be pulled against the workpiece.
•
Before you start cutting, set the cutting head at the
desired fixed cutting depth.
•
Then use the handle to pull the cutting head slowly
and uniformly along the guide rail and across the
workpiece.
•
Push the cutting head fully back after you finished
the cut.
B. PLUNGE CUTS
The handling of larger cutting depths can be
simplified using the plunge cutting method.
•
In this case, the cutting head will not be set to a fixed
position while performing the cut.
•
As you have not fixed the saw at a defined depth,
the cutting head is freely movable during seesaw
operations.
•
Hold the handle of the cutting head with your left
hand and move it to and fro across the workpiece
while lightly pressing the cutting head downwards in
a discontinuos movement.
