9.4.3 Cutting width (fig. 15, 16)
• The parallel stop (7) must be used when cutting sec-
tions of wood lengthways.
• The parallel stop (7) can be mounted on both sides
of the saw table (1).
• The parallel stop (7) can be set to the required di-
mension with the aid of the scale (38) on the saw
table (1).
• Tighten the two locking knobs (15) to fasten the par-
allel stop (7) in place.
• Perform a test cut to measure the width before cut-
ting the real workpiece. In this way you avoid inaccu-
racies with the scale or the setting.
9.4.4 Setting the stop length (fig. 15, 17)
In order to avoid the material to be cut becoming
jammed, the stop rail (17) can slide in a longitudinal
direction.
Rule of thumb: The rear edge of the stop should inter-
sect an imaginary line that starts roughly at the centre
of the saw blade and runs to the rear at 45°:
1. Set the required cutting width.
2. Loosen the screws (16a) and slide the stop rail (17)
far enough forward that it touches the imaginary
45° line.
3. Tighten the screws (16a) again.
9.5 Using the transverse stop (fig. 18)
When trimming, the transverse stop (2) must be ex-
tended from the parallel stop (7) with the stop rail (17)
(fig. 18).
9.5.1 Extending the transverse stop
1. Remove the stop rail (17) from the parallel stop (7).
To do so, loosen the screws (16a) and release the
stop rail (17) from the holder (16).
2. Slide the sliding block along the groove in the stop
rail (17).
3. Fasten the stop rail (17) with the help of the knurled
screws (18) on the transverse stop (2).
ATTENTION
Do not push the stop rail (17) too far toward to the saw
blade (5). The distance between the stop rail (17) and
the saw blade (5) should be approx. 2 cm.

10. Using the equipment
Working instructions
• After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry
out a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions.
• After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before com-
mencing with the cut.
• Take extra care when starting the cut.
• Never use the equipment without the suction func-
tion.
• Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
10.1 Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 19)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut
along the grain of the wood.
One edge of the workpiece will be pressed against the
parallel stop (7), while the flat side lies on the saw table
(1).
The saw blade guard (4) must always be lowered over
the workpiece. When making a longitudinal cut, never
adopt a working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
1. Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width (see 9.4).
2. Switch on the saw.
3. Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
workpiece and push the workpiece along the par-
allel stop (7) and into the saw blade (5).
4. Guide at the side with your left or right hand (de-
pending on the position of the parallel stop) only
as far as the front edge of the saw blade guard (4).
5. Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (3).
6. The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until
the saw blade (5) is back in its position of rest.
7. Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.).
ATTENTION: The parallel stop must be set parallel
with the saw blade (see 8.7). Check the alignment and
ensure that the parallel stop is firmly seated at regular
intervals, particularly during use and after longer peri-
ods not in use.
Tighten the screw again and adjust the parallel stop
(see 9.4.3) if necessary. Vibrations can loosen screws
and change the position of the parallel stop.
