Calibration of the scale on the
cross-cut fence (fig, 11, 11 bis)
Each time a new sawblade is used on the machine, the scales have to be calibrated.
Put the first repetition stop (fig, 11,1) at a certain measure and cut off a sample.
Measure the exact length of the sample, unlock the srew (fig, 11,2) which holds the scale and
move the scale untill the exact length of the sample corresponds with the index on the repeti-
tion stop. Now the scale on the telescopic extension of the fence (fig, 11 bis,2) has to be adjusted
to the first scale. When using the telescopic extension, the second repetition stop has to be set
at 1925 mm to make the different scales correspond with one another. The best way to check if
all scales correspond is to make several test cuts on the different scales.
When, after some time, the wooden protection on the cross-cut fence is cut away, a new one can
be made according diagram fig, 12.
Mitre fence (fig, 13)
Mitre cuts can be made using the mitre fence.
This fence can be orientated from -60° to +60°. The use of the fence should be restricted to
short pices of wood not exeeding one metre of length.
Use of the parallel fence
(fig, 14, 14 bis)
When the serrated knob (fig, 14,3) is unlocked, and the handle (fig, 14,1) is lifted up, the com-
plete parallel fence can be moved.
To lock the fence, push handle (1) down.
Micrometric adjustment can be achieved by locking the serrated knob (3) and holding the
handle (1) in the upright position, and then turning the serrated knob (2).
After the micrometric adjustment is carried out, push the handle (1) down to lock the fence in
place.
When cutting small workpieces, and with the saw inclined at 45°, the fence should be set in the
low position.
Simply unlock the clamping handle (4) on top of the casting and slide off the fence, and set the
fence back in the low position as shown in fig 14 bis.
When cutting solid wood against the parallel fence, to avoid the wood getting jammed between
the sawblade or riving knife and fence (resulting in a highly violent dangerous kickback of the
wood) it is recommended to set the fence so that its end never protrudes beyond an imaginary
line drawn at 45° from the centre of the sawblade to the right upper side.
In practice each time a different width of cut is taken, the fence has to be set against this imagi-
nary line at 45°.
