7.4 Setting the angle (Fig. 14)
•
Slacken the locking grip (8) at the front and
the locking grip (9) at the rear of the machine.
•

two locking grips (8, 9) until the pointer (38)
is aligned with the desired angular setting on
the angle scale (10).
•
Lock the locking grips (8, 9).
8. Operation
Warning!
•
After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut in order to check the
new settings.
•
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade
to reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
•
Take extra care when starting the cut!
•
Never use the equipment without the suction
function.
•
Regularly check and clean the suction chan-
nels.
8.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Fig. 15)
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 (7) while the fl at side lies on the saw
table (1).
The blade guard (2) must always be lowered over
the workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt
a working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece height and the desired width.
(See 7.2.)
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on
the workpiece and push the workpiece along
the parallel stop (7) and into the blade (4).
•
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel
stop) only as far as the front edge of the gu-
ard hood.
•
Always push the workpiece through to the
end of the splitter (5).
•
The offcut piece remains on the saw table
(1) until the blade (4) 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.)
8.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 16)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making lon-
gitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 150 mm
in width. A push stick is supplied with the saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick immedi-
ately.
8.1.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces
(Fig. 17)
•
Be sure to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces
with a width of 50 mm and less.
•
The low guide face of the parallel stop is best
used in this case.
•
There is no push block supplied with the saw!
(Available from your specialist dealer) Repla-
ce the push block without delay when it beco-
mes worn.
8.2 Making angular cuts (Fig. 14/18)
Angular cuts must always be made using the par-
allel stop (7). If you tilt the saw blade (4) to the left
when making angular cuts, position the parallel
stop (7) on the right-hand side of the saw blade
(4). Guide the workpiece between the saw blade
(4) and the parallel stop (7).
•
Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. (See
7.4.)
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece width and height (see 7.2)
•
Carry out the cut in accordance with the work-
piece width (see 8.1.1 and 8.1.2).
8.3 Making cross cuts (Fig. 19)
•
Slide the cross stop (14) into the slot (21)
in the table and adjust to the required angle
(see 7.3).
•
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop (14).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Push the cross stop (14) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
•
Warning!
Always hold the guided part of the workpiece.
Never hold the part which is to be cut off .
•
Push the cross stop (14) 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.
