Scheppach HM254 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 35

• Turn the rotary table (14) and pointer (12) to the de-
sired angle measurement on the scale (13) and use
the handle (11) to secure it.
• Pressing the machine head (4) lightly downwards
and removing the locking bolt (23) from the motor
bracket at the same time disengages the saw from
the lowest position.
• Swing the machine head (4) up.
• It is possible to secure the clamping devices (7) to
the left or right on the fixed saw table (15). Insert the
clamping devices (7) in the holes on the rear side
of the stop rail (16) and secure it with the star grip
screws (7a).
For 0°- 45° mitre cuts, the clamping device (7) must
only be mounted on the right side (see fig. 11-12).
• It is possible to tilt the machine head (4) a max. 45°
to the left by loosening the set screw (22).
• Workpiece supports (8) must always be secured and
used during work. Set the desired table size by loo-
sening the set screw (9). Then tighten the set screw
(9) again.
8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut
90° (fig. 1/2/5/6)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure it using the
locking bolt (23).
• Loosen the set screw (22).
• Position the angle stop (A) between the saw blade
(6) and the rotary table (14).
• Loosen the lock nut (26a).
• Adjust the adjusting screw (26) until the angle bet-
ween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90°.
• Re-tighten the lock nut (26a).
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 0° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.3 Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° (fig. 1/2/7)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary to
ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the machine
head (4) can move.
Attention! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a
position far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw bla-
de (6) is no more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Re-tighten the set screw (16b).
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (1) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent on
the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail (16)
and on the turntable (14).
• Lock the material with the clamping devices (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Release the lock switch (3) and press the ON/OFF
switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place (21):
use the handle (1) to move the machine head (4)
steadily and with light pressure downwards until the
saw blade (6) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place (21):
pull the machine head (4) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by apply-
ing steady and light downward pressure. Now push
the machine head (4) slowly and steadily to the very
back until the saw blade (6) has completely cut
through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head back to its upper (home) position and
release the ON/OFF button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward stroke
automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do not re-
lease the handle (1) after completing the cut; inste-
ad allow the machine head to move upwards slowly
whilst applying light counter pressure.
8.4 Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° - 45° (fig. 1/7/8)
The crosscut, drag and mitre saw can be used to make
crosscuts of 0° -45° to the left and 0° -45° to the right in
relation to the stop rail.
Important! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) inwards.
