4.1 Installation / Transport

The machine is delivered in a transportation box.
Check the machine for possible transport damages.
Damage to the packing material may already be
indicative of improper transport. Immediately notify
your machine dealer of transport damages.
The following parts are packed loosely and must be
installed or attached to the machine before start-up:
- Upper saw guard
- Extraction hose
- Branch pipe (Connection of upper and lower
extraction connection)
- Universal stop
- Pushing stick
Proceed as follows for assembly:

Upper saw guard
Release the wing bolt 2 (Fig. 12 - page 4) by
approx. 5 turns. Press this wing bolt and push
the saw guard 1 horizontally onto the riving
knife/splitter 3. Make sure that the guide piece
of the wing bolt is firmly engaged in the drilling
of the riving knife/splitter when you release the
wing bolt. Align the saw guard in the required
position and tighten the wing bolt 2 again.

Extraction hose and branch pipe
First of all, fit the branch pipe 4 (Fig. 4 - page
3) on the hose connector at the lower saw
guard. Connect the extraction connection on
the upper saw guard to the extraction hose 5.
Push this onto the appropriate connection of
the branch pipe.

Universal stop
The installation of the universal stop is
described in chapter 5.6.

Pushing stick / Push handle
You can store the provided pushing rod 60
(Fig. 6 - page 3) at the front right of the
machine in the retaining bracket intended for
this purpose.
For storing the pushing handle (special
accessory), use the drillings on the front right
or rear left on the longitudinal sides of the
machine, in which you can insert the pushing
handle. According to requirements, you can
attach a pushing stick to the pushing handle.
For this purpose, place the handle onto the
pushing stick and press both tips into the
timber. Then apply the wing bolt and screw it
in.

4.2 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

4.3 Chip extraction

Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inner diameter of the extraction connection is 58
mm (2 9/32 in.).
If you use the machine outdoors or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms, you can also insert the dust bag
that is available as special accessory for short-term
