NOTE:
The fact that the saw head stops and starts moving in a reverse direction after releasing
the joystick, with the NEXT CUT function on (REF1 or REF2 light is flashing, REF LOCK
light is illuminating), is often considered a fault by operators. For example, if, having
pushed the joystick forward and having held it in that position, you release the joystick,
the saw head will stop and then start raising. It is not a fault as the saw head, with NEXT
CUT on, is always moved to the next cutting height regardless of its current position.
See Figure 4-12.
If you push the left joystick away from you, with the blade being above
the next cutting height, the saw head will automatically
lower
for the next cut the distance
determined by the selected board thickness dimension and calculated from the last
cutting position in REF1. Pulling the left joystick back, i.e. toward you, with the blade
being below the next cutting height, will
raise
the saw head to this height.
To make the next cut, first press the REF1 button twice (the REF1 button light will start
flashing). The REF LOCK function will turn on automatically (the REF LOCK button will
