With the right table width extension extended,
the upper scale row applies: Secure the stop
rail with pointer (a) at the end point of the
lower scale row. The end points are 25 cm for
the low parallel stop and 30 cm for the high
parallel stop. The value of the total width can
now be read off the upper scale row at indi-
cator (b). The maximum value is 47 cm (with
the parallel stop set low) or 52 cm (with the
parallel stop set high).
7.3.4. Setting the stop length (Fig. 27)
•
The stop rail (6) can be moved in longitudinal
direction in order to prevent the workpiece
from becoming jammed.
•
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop co-
mes up against an imaginary line that begins
roughly at the center of the blade and runs at
an angle of 45° to the rear.
•
Set the required cutting width
- Slacken the knurled screws (w) and push
the stop rail (6) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the knurled screws (w).
7.4. Angle stop (Fig. 19)
•
Push the stop rail (27) onto the angle stop
(28)
•
Slide the angle stop (28) into the groove (48)
of the saw table.
•
Undo the locking grip (49).
•
Turn the stop rail (27) until the arrow points to
the angle required.
•
Re-tighten the locking grip (49).
Important.
•
Do not push the stop rail (27) too far toward
the blade.
•
The distance between the stop rail (27) and
the blade (5) should be approx. 2 cm.
7.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 5)
•
Undo the locking grip (44) by turning it
counter-clockwise. To have enough room for
adjustment, the locking lever can be disenga-
ged by pulling (similar to a ratchet).
•
Undo the locking grip (44).
•
Turn the wheel (14) to set the desired angle
on the scale.
•
Secure the locking grip in the required angle
position.
•
For angles between -2° and 0° open the ad-
justment lever (22) at the front of the machine
in order to release the setting wheel (14) for
this angle range.

•
Similarly for angles between -45° and 47°
open the adjustment lever (23) at the front of
the machine.
•
Secure the locking grip (44) by turning it
clockwise.
8. Operation
Important!!
•
After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut in order to check the
new settings.
•
If you discover a deviation on a trial cut, you
can adjust the indicator of the scale (a) at the
parallel stop or at the table (b) by undoing
their screws.
•
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade
to reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
•
Take extra care when starting the cut!
•
Never use the equipment without the suction
function.
•
Regularly check and clean the suction chan-
nels.
8.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 29)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is
when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the
wood. Press one edge of the workpiece against
the parallel stop (7) while the fl at side lies on the
saw table (1). The blade guard (4) must always
be lowered over the workpiece. When you make
a longitudinal cut, never adopt a working position
that is in line with the cutting direction.
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece height and the desired width.
(See 7.3.)
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on
the workpiece and push the workpiece along
the parallel stop (7) and into the blade (5).
•
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel
stop) only as far as the front edge of the gu-
ard hood.
•
Always push the workpiece through to the
end of the splitter (2).
•
The offcut piece remains on the saw table
(1) until the blade (5) is back in its position of
rest.
•
Secure long workpieces against falling off
at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand
etc.)
