10.1 The PROTOOL guide system
When cutting larger work pieces, and to
achieve accurate angled cuts, use of the
GRP 800/1400/3000-2 guide system is rec-
ommended for easy and safe handling.
This allows clean cuts by accurately guiding
the machine along a marked edge. Hard
anodising of the guide bar makes moving
the machine even easier, thus reducing the
necessary slide force, and at the same time
makes for a better working procedure. The
saw runner's side clearance can be adjusted
using the distance screws in the auxiliary
handles [6-1].
10.2 Assembling the guide rail
(GRP 800/1400/3000-2)
The guide rail [7-1] is assembled using spe-
cial clamps CL-GRP 300 [7-2] or GRP-Rapid/L
[7-5] to be inserted into the guide grooves
designed for this particular purpose (Fig.
[7a]). This allows a secure hold on uneven
surfaces. Anti-slip strips are attached to
the bottom of the guide bar, providing safe
placement and preventing scratches to the
material surface.
CAUTION!
If you cut with a tilted saw, the tool and
the clamp bolt with the gripper or with
GRP-Rapid/L may collide.
► Tilt the saw at such an angle only to avoid
collision of the chain with the clamp.
10.3 Assembling the angle
guide (GRP-AG-2)
The combination of the guide rail and the
continuously adjustable angle unit [7-3] al-
lows accurate angular cuts, e. g., for match-
ing fi ts. Mount the angle unit as shown in
Fig. [7b]. You can set the required cutting
angle on the bevel indicator.
10.4 Assembling the connector
(CN-GRP)
Depending on the use and size of the work
piece, multiple guide rails can be jointed
together using a connecting spring [7-4]
(Fig. [7c]). For fi rm connection of multiple
guide rails the links can be affi xed using
the screws in the correspondingly threaded
openings.
10.5 Assembling the quick
clamp (GRP-Rapid/L)
The guide rail can be mounted quickly using
this device [7-5] slipped into the bottom
groove. A fi rm mount is achieved by press-
ing the trigger, and release is achieved by
pressing the stopping button.
CAUTION!
If you cut with the saw at an incline, the tool
and the quick clamp handle may collide.
► The handle of the quick clamp must be
turned to the left towards the material
after tightening, thus preventing the col-
lision even at the maximum tilt of 60°.
11 Care and maintenance
WARNING
Before replacing the tool cutting set, un-
plug the machine.
Caution! The chain cutting edges can
cause injury.
Caution! The cutting edges of the guide
bar can cause injury.
Wear protective gloves!
The SSP 200 EB sword saw cutting tool
set's chain links are 3/8" apart, and their
thickness is 1.3 mm. Other tool sets can
be used only with explicit approval from
the manufacturer. The spacing of the chain
links must be identical to the spacing of the
chain sprocket and to the spacing of the
guide bar pulley.
The complete cutting tool set consists of:
a) chain sprocket [8-3]
b) guide bar [2-4]
c) chain [2-3]
The cutting tool set's service life depends
mainly on lubrication and chain tension.
For this reason the chain tension must be
checked and adjusted both before and dur-
ing work.
11.1 Chain tension
With the cover of the chain sprocket [2-1]
slightly released, rotate the chain adjustment
wheel [2-9] in the direction of the + arrow
until the bottom part of the chain hugs the
guide bar of the chain, as shown in Fig. [10].
