When cutting in 90° position, the cutter head remains at a
fixed point. For adjustment, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the machine and make sure the machine is
unplugged from the socket — > the cutting wheel must
stop rotating.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw.
3. Set the cutter head in the desired position.
4. Tighten the adjusting screw — > check if the cutter head is
adjusted in height and make sure that it cannot move.
5. Put the material to be cut onto the table (for table saw
machine position it directly at the material stop).
6. Check the position of the material using the angle stop.
7. Open the water tap, turn on the machine and check if the
water pump is running.
8. Grab the cutter head's chain driven hand crank with the
right hand and the transport handle on the frame with
the left hand.
9. Then slowly slide the cutter head through the material
to be cut, without pressure. The cutting wheel then cuts
through the material on the table.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position or the
position of the cutter head, may not touch the table!
NOTE!
In emergency, press the red stop button on the
switch by the left hand.
Cutting method: 45° bevel cuts
The machine offers the possibility of performing 45° bevel
cuts. To perform 45° bevel cuts, proceed as follows:

nor the back square!
To bring back the guiding bridge and the cutter head to the
90° position after the cutting operation, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the machine — > the cutting wheel must
stop rotating!
2. Loosen the star grip screws on the bridge on both
sides of the machine.
3. Pivot the complete cutter head including the bridge
into the desired position. Orientate yourselves on the
lateral scale.
4. Firmly tighten again the star grip screws.
NOTE!
Hold firmly the cutter head with the hand
in the 90°¬ position. Tightening the nut can turn the
square back so that the angle of the cutter head is
not exactly 90°.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position
or the position of the cutter head, may not touch the
cutting table!
6.4.2 Water supply
Heavily polluted water decreases the service life of the
water pump and cutting wheel.
For frequent use, change water several times a day, and
collect, filter and dispose of the cutting mud
Clean the suction strainer of the water pump every time the
water is changed. Clean the pump at the end of each day by
letting the pump draw in a bucket of clean water.
6.5 Stop cutting operation
Use the red stop switch on the motor to stop the machine.
