See Figure 4-15. Example
: In this example the blade kerf is 0. You are sawing
30-mm-thick boards from a 500-mm-thick (high) cant and want to finish with
a 100-mm-thick cant. The saw head is at the height of 510mm.
First activate MANUAL mode (the MANUAL button will illuminate). Using the left joystick,
position the saw head at the height where you want to make the first cut. In most cases
this location will be close to the height of the cant that will be cut. In this example it is
510mm. Then activate PAT1 (or PAT2) function by pressing twice the PAT1 (or PAT2)
button (the PAT1/PAT2 button is flashing; NEXT CUT is turned on). Push the left joystick
away from you momentarily. The saw head will move to the height of 490mm as this is the
nearest height from which you can get a whole number of 30 mm thick boards plus
a 100-mm-thick cant. The first board will be 10mm thick. It is because it is not possible to
cut only 30-mm-thick boards from a 500-mm-thick cant if you want to finish with
a 100- mm-thick bottom board. The last possible cutting height in this example is 100 mm
(since the preset bottom board thickness is 100 mm).
