Longitudinal Cuts (Fig.22); Working With The Sliding Table - Zipper ZI-FKS315 Manual De Instrucciones

shown in Fig. 22 and for thin ones like
shown in Fig. 23
•
Cutting width (Fig. 19, 20)
The fence 7 must be used for longitudinal
cuts in wooden work pieces. It should be
mounted on the right side of the blade 4.
It must be pushed into the guide 17 out-
side. Adjust the required distance and lock
the fence with the lock screw.
•
Setting the stop length
The stop rail can be moved on the work
piece to prevent the work piece from be-
coming jammed.
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop
comes up against an imaginary line that
begins roughly at the center of the saw
blade and runs at an angle of 45° to the
rear.
At first set the cutting width. Then loosen
the nuts 21 and pull the stop rail forwards
till it reaches the imaginary line. Tighten
the nuts again.
Cross stop and sliding table
2.6.5
(Fig. 27)
Push the cross stop 7 into the groove a of the
sliding table. Loosen the lock screw 12 and
turn it till the arrow points at the required
angle.
Important: Don't pull the stop rail too far to
the saw blade. The distance between the rail
and the saw blade 4 should be about 2cm.
Tighten the lock screw again.
Operation
2.7
2.7.1 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 10)
For turning on the machine the cover must be
opened and the green button must be pushed.
This one is on the switch panel 11. Let the en-
gine get to its maximum speed before cutting.
Important: The cover must be flapped down
again because it's used as emergency stop
switch. For turning off you have to push the
red button.

2.7.2 Longitudinal cuts (Fig.22)

For longitudinal cuts the sliding table must be
fixed with the lock 19 (Fig. 18). Press one edge
of the work piece against the longitudinal fence
while the flat side lies on the saw blade. The
blade guard always has to lie on the work
piece. Adjust the fence (see 2.6.4). Turn on the
machine (see 2.7.1). Place your hands (with
fingers closed) flat on the work piece and pull it
along the fence into the blade. Lead on the side
with your hands always only to the position of
the front edge of the blade guard. Always push
the work piece through to the end of the split-
ter. The offcut piece remains on the saw table
1 until the blade is back in its position of rest.
• Cutting narrow work pieces:
Always use a push block 3 when the cut-
ting width is lower than 120mm.
Important: Always replace a damaged
push block through a new one.
• Cutting extremely narrow work pieces (Fig.
23):
Use a push block when the cutting width is
lower than 30mm. Use the longitudinal
fence like shown in Fig. 23.
• Making concealed nuts
Remove the saw blade guard (see 2.5.2).
Adjust the cutting depth and the splitter
new. Pull the work piece into the blade.
After cutting the blade guard must be fit-
ted again.
• Making bevel cuts (Fig. 25):
Adjust the required angle (see 2.6.3). The
cut follows like a normal cut.

2.7.3 Working with the sliding table

• Cross cuts (Fig. 26, 27)
Pull the sliding table forward. Set the cross
stop to the required angle and fix it with
the lock screw on the sliding table. Press
the work piece against the cross stop and
move the sliding table slowly forwards.
Turn off the machine and remove the offcut
when the saw blade is in its position of
rest.
•
Making edging cuts
Place the work piece on the sliding table
and press it against the edging plate c. Pull
the sliding table forwards and make the
cut.
