• A back stroke is the result of using the saw incorrectly and/or for a wrong application. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures,
as described below.
• Keep the saw firmly with both hands and put your arms in a position, so that you can ab-sorb the back stroke forces. Always stand to the side
of the saw blade; never align your body with the saw blade. In the event of a back stroke, the circular saw can jump back-wards,
although the operator should be able to master the situation by taking suitable pre-cautionary measures.
• Should the saw blade be jammed or should you interrupt your work, always switch off the saw and keep it steady in the material until the saw
blade has come to a standstill. Never try to remove the saw from the work piece or pull it backwards, as long as the saw blade is rotating,
as this may result in a back stroke. Find out the reason why the saw blade is jammed and eliminate the cause.
• If you wish to re-start a saw that is still in the work piece, centre the saw blade in the saw gap and check, whether saw teeth might be blocked
in the work piece. If the saw blade jams, it may free itself from the work piece or cause a back stroke during the re-start of the saw.
• Support large plates, in order to minimize the risk of a back stroke caused by a jammed saw blade. Large plates may bend under their own weight.
Plates must be supported on both sides, both near the saw gap and at the edge.
• Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly set teeth will increase the friction at the narrow saw gap,
cause the saw blade to jam and may result in a back stroke.
• Set and fix the cutting depth and the cutting angle before starting to saw. If the settings change during the sawing, the saw blade may get blocked
and cause a back stroke.
• Take extra care when making a „plunge cut" into an existing wall or other concealed areas. The immersing saw blade may block in concealed
objects and cause a back stroke.
• Observe the admissible maximum dimensions for the work pieces (see Technical data).
• Always use the push stick when cutting slashes and joints, since the saw blade is not visible.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIGSAWS
• Apart from these machine-specific safety instructions, do also observe the safety instruc-tions for the jigsaw you work with.
• Never work with a damaged jigsaw.
• Avoid overloading the jigsaw.
• The jigsaw must not be used in connection with the guide bar.
PLEASE NOTE: USE THE MILLING TABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN COMBINATION
WITH THE PARALLEL MILLING GUIDE (ART. NO. 6901000)
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTERS
• Apart from these machine-specific safety instructions, do also observe the safety instruc-tions of the router you work with.
• Be always aware that the work piece may unexpectedly get out of control during the mill-ing process and strike back.
• Do not use the machine table for curved work!
• Therefore, carry out the milling work exclusively with the parallel milling guide (which is available as accessory under Art.-No. 6901000), in order to
prevent back strokes and to protect your hands from touching the cutter.
• Observe the original operating instructions for the parallel milling guide (Art.-No. 6901000), in order to be able to install it correctly.
• Do not use routers with a rating of more than 1800 W and a voltage of more than 230 V.
• Do not use cutters with a diameter of more than 27 mm!
• The router must not be used in combination with the guide bar.
• Please observe that the feed must be against the cutter's direction of rotation.
• Select the spacer rings supplied in relation to the size of the milling tool. Safe work requires selecting the smallest possible spacer ring.
• Use only sharp and properly maintained milling tools that have been set in accordance with the tool manufacturer's instructions.
• Observe the data concerning the minimum/maximum speed and the direction of rotation indicated directly on the equipment and tools used,
or on their packaging, or as detailed in the operating instructions.
• Please be aware that the improper use of milling tools, of work pieces and of the guiding devices for the work piece may cause dangerous
situations.
• Keep your hands off the milling tool, when milling close to the guide.
• If possible, use table pressure shoes in addition to the parallel milling guide while milling.
• Support long work pieces on the removal side, in order to avoid dangerous situations that may be caused by the uncontrolled tilting of the work
piece. The support must rest on sta-ble ground and have the same height as the machine table, e.g. the roller trestle (Art. No. 6119973).
• Do only process work pieces that, considering their weight, can be held and advanced safely by one person.
• Choose the correct speed that is appropriate for tool and work piece. Please refer to the operating instructions of your router for the correct
speed parameters.
• Observe the admissible maximum dimensions for the work pieces (see Technical data).
SCOPE OF DELIVERY
Take the Master cut 2000 out of the cardboard box and check the content, whether it is com-plete and whether all pictured parts are included
(Fig. 1 & Fig. 2).
BASIC ASSEMBLY
Installation of the table: Put the table on a plain and clean surface (Fig. 3.1). Loosen both eccentric levers and unfold the right pair of legs up
to the stop. Then re-close both eccentric levers (Fig. 3.2). Loosen the four eccentric levers and unfold the left pair of legs up to the stop.
Now re-close all four eccentric levers (Fig. 3.3). Put the table on its legs (Fig. 3.4) and adjust its height by turning the height adjustment,
if required (Fig. 3.4).
WARNING: Be careful not to squeeze your hands when unfolding and folding up the table and when fitting in the machine plate.
Safety switch: Install the safety switch at the machine table as shown in Fig. 4.
Protective hood: Assemble the individual parts of the protective hood (Fig. 5.1). Slide the protective hood holder with its guidance into the
aluminium profile (Fig. 5.2) and close the eccentric lever (Fig. 5.3).
