Unlocking the transport safety device

Push the tilt table (2) towards the saw blade.

The safety flap (2A) must be closed properly.
The safety hook (3) comes free.
Turn down the safety hook.
Thanks to its return spring (11), the tilt table (2) automatically
comes to its home position.

Start-up

Rotational direction of the saw blade
Ensure that the rotational direction of the saw blade is the same as

the rotational direction given on the guard (19) .
You can change the direction by placing a
screw-driver in the slot provided in the plug
collar, and adjust the correct direction by moving
to the left or right applying slight pressure.
Selection of saw blades
Consider when selecting the saw blade, that no edgeless or
damaged saw bands are used and that the diameter of the blade
location hole is 30 mm (note the nameplate on the machine).

Mains connection
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230 V with
the mains voltage and connect the machine to the relevant and properly
earthed plug.
Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with residual current circuit
breaker (FI switch 30 mA).

Main fuse: 16 A inert
On/Off switch
Do not use any device where the switch can not be switched on and
off. Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced immediately by
the customer service.

Attention! The motor hums during and shortly after the
braking time. The switch must never be operated during
this phase. (Do not switch on or off.) The motor may only
be switched on again after the humming sound has
stopped.
The saw must not be used if the brake is defective, i.e. if the
time from switching off up to the saw blade's dead stop
exceeds 10 seconds.
Motor guard
The motor is equipped with a guard switch and it switches off
automatically when overload. The motor can be switched on again after a
cooling-down period (approx. 5 – 10 min.).

Working with the saw

Before starting to work consider the following safety advices to keep
the risk of injuries as small as possible.
 Saw blade, plastic inserts, recuperating spring o. k.
 Workplace tidied?
 You may not start to operate the machine until you have read these
operating instructions, observed all the instructions given and
installed the machine as described!
Before making adjustments to the saw settings (e.g. replacing the
saw blade etc.)

switch off device
 wait for standstill of the saw blade.
 pull out power plug
Also, note the following important points:
 Place yourself outside of the area of danger.
 Place the wood piece in the jigging device. Cut through the piece with
uniform pressure.
 Never remove loose splinters, chips, or similar by hand.
At any case pay attention to all safety instructions.
Working instructions
1. Secure the saw against rolling away.
2. Place the wood piece in the jigging device.
It is possible to cut wood with a diameter of min. 30 mm to max.
240 mm are allowed to be sawed.

You will get pieces of equal length if you pull out the length
stop (26) and fix it in the desired position using the machine knob (27)

Use the support extension (28) for long wood pieces. Loosen
the star grip screw (29), pull out the extension a bit and fix it again.
Close the safety flap (2A).
Saw only with the safety flap closed.
3. Now hold the handle (14) on the safety flap with both hands and
push the tilt table uniformly towards the saw blade. Avoid erratic
movements.

The barbs on the jigging device prevent any turning of the wood
piece during sawing.

Do not force the jigging device against the saw blade, the motor
speed should not drop too far.
4. After cutting, the jigging device is automatically brought back to its
home position by spring force.

If the recuperating spring (11) is broken or worn, the jigging
device will not automatically return to its home position. Replace the
recuperating spring. See "Replacing the return spring".
Never saw without or with a damaged recuperating spring.
5. Only advance the wood piece after a completed sawing operation.
