10. Operation
Working instructions
After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a
trial cut in order to check the set dimensions.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach
its maximum speed of rotation before commencing with
the cut.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of
the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
Take extra care when starting the cut!
Never use the equipment without the suction function.
Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
Suitability of the saw blades:
- 24 teeth: soft materials, large chip depth, coarse cut
profile
- 48 teeth: hard materials, small chip depth, fine cut
profile
10.1 Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 19)
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 (15) while the flat 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 work-
ing position that is in line with the cutting direction.
- Set the parallel stop (15) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width. (See 9.4)
- Switch on the saw.
- Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
workpiece and push the workpiece along the paral-
lel stop (15) and into the blade (3).
- Guide at the side with your left or right hand (de-
pending on the position of the parallel stop) only as
far as the front edge of the saw blade guard (4).
- Always push the workpiece through to the end of the
splitter (6).
- The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until
the blade (3) 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.) (e.g. roller
table etc.)
10.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (fig. 20)
Be sure to use a push stick (9) when making longitudi-
nal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width. A
push block is supplied with the saw! Replace a worn or
damaged push stick immediately.
- Adjust the parallel stop to the width of workpiece you
require. (see 9.4)
- Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always use
the push stick (9) in the area of the saw blade.
- Always push the workpiece through to the end of the
splitter.
m Caution! With short workpieces, use the push stick
from the beginning.
10.1.2 Making angular cuts (fig. 21)
Angular cuts must always be made using the parallel
stop (15).
- Set the blade to the desired angle. (See 9.3)
- Set the parallel stop (15) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height (see 9.4)
- Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece
width (see 10.1).
10.2 Making cross cuts (fig. 22)
- Slide the cross stop (7) into one of the grooves
(31a/b) in the table and adjust to the required an-
gle. (see 9.5). If you also want to tilt the blade (3),
use the groove (31a) which prevents your hand and
the cross stop from making contact with the blade
guard.
- Use the stop rail.
- Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop
(7).
- Switch on the saw.
- Push the cross stop (7) and the workpiece toward
the blade in order to make the cut.
- Important:
Always hold the guided part of the workpiece.
Never hold the part which is to be cut off.
- Push the cross stop (7) forward until the workpiece
is cut all the way through.
- Switch off the saw again. Do not remove the offcut
until the blade has stopped rotating.
10.3 Cutting particle boards
To prevent the cutting edges from cracking when work-
ing with particle boards, you should not set the saw
blade (3) more than 5mm greater than the thickness of
the workpiece (also see 9.2).
