Adjust the speed of the saw [3-2] to a
setting of „6" (maximum speed). Set the
depth of cut, using the depth stop adjust-
ment [3-1], to 8 mm (5 mm for the thick-
ness of the guide rail plus 3 mm cutting
depth) and cut the splinter guard along
the full length without interruption.
For trimming the splinter guard it is best
to use some sort of backing piece, such as
plywood or fi berboard.
The edge of the splinter guard now corre-
sponds exactly to the cutting edge.
Step 3: Setting up the
guide rail support
The table comes from the factory with two
stops [4-2, 4-4] pre-set on the long sides
of the profi le frame, opposite each other.
These are recommended working positions
for the support unit [4-2] and swivel unit
[4-4].
NOTE: During transport it is possible that
the set screws holding the stops may have
loosened. If this is the case, you will have
to position and retighten the registering
stops. Facing the front of the table, the
measurement is 8 3/4'' from the side face
of the profi le frame at the right side of the
table. Facing the rear, the stop is approxi-
mately 7 2/3'' from the side face at the left
side of the table.
The swivel unit [4-4] is mounted on the
rear long side, the support unit [4-2] on
the front side.
Both units are inserted into the profi le
groove from the left up to the stops with
the height adjustment [4-2] and the rota-
ry knob [4-1] released, and then clamped
with the rotary knob [4-1].
