Making Bevel Cuts; Dust Extraction - Westfalia ASS18 Originalanleitung

of this the cutting speed for longitudinal sections rises and less power is
needed while sawing. Furthermore, the lifetime of a saw blade is in-
creased.
For Cutting
 Metal set the pendulum stroke to 0 or 1.
 Core board, plywood and plastics set the pendulum stroke to 1 or 2.
 Hard- and softwood and particle and flake boards set the pendulum
stroke to 1, 2 or 3.
The harder the material to be cut is the smaller the pendulum stroke can
be and the softer the material is the larger the pendulum stroke should
be set.
Note: Because of the additional vertical movement, the cutting edges will
be torn out more as if working without pendulum. The surface coatings
of wood plate especially tend to fray because of their refractory structure
when working with additional pendulum.

Making Bevel Cuts

You can make bevel cuts to 45° with this saw if you angle the base plate.
1. First, loosen the two internal hex screws (14) which can be seen in
the central opening of the base plate by using the included hex key
((6).
2. After loosening, push the base plate slightly back until the metal teeth
in the housing disengages from the base plate.
3. Now you can adjust the base plate to the angle desired.
4. Fix it in that position by pushing forward and tightening the internal
hex head screws.

Dust Extraction
