7.3.3 Setting the stop length (Fig. 13)
•
The stop rail (23) can be moved in longitudi-
nal direction in order to prevent the workpiece
from becoming jammed.
•
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop co-
mes up against an imaginary line that begins
roughly at the front edge of the blade and
runs at an angle of 45° to the rear.
•
Set the required cutting width
- Slacken the knurled screws (26) and push
the stop rail (23) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the knurled screws (26).
7.4 Cross stop (Fig. 1b, 14)
•
The cross stop (14) must be used when ma-
king cross cuts in wooden workpieces.
•
Undo the two knurled screws (26) and pull the
stop rail (23) off the parallel stop (7).
•
Fasten the stop rail (23) using the screws (40)
and the knurled screws (41) on the cross stop
(14).
Note: The stop rail (23) on the cross stop (14)
can be fastened using either the horizontal slot
(25) (for fl at workpieces) or the vertical slot (27)
(for high workpieces) depending on the height of
the workpiece in question.
•
Slide the cross stop (14) into the slot (21) of
the saw table.
•
Slacken the locking screw (28).
•
Turn the stop rail (23) until the arrow points to
the angle required.
•
Re-tighten the locking screw (28).
•
Check the gap between the stop rail (23) and
the saw blade (4).
•
Warning! Do not push the stop rail (23) too
far toward the blade. The distance between
the stop rail (23) and the blade (4) should be
approx. 2 cm.
•
If necessary, slacken the two knurled screws
(41) and adjust the stop rail (23).
•
Retighten the knurled screws (41).
7.5 Setting the angle (Fig. 15)
•
Undo the locking grip (9).
•
To adjust the angle of the saw blade, push
the hand wheel (8) until the pointer is aligned
with the desired angular setting on the angle
scale.
•
Lock the locking grip (9).
•
If needed, the end stop for adjusting the ang-
le of the saw blade can be readjusted for 0°
and 45°. To do this, adjust the two adjustment
screws (38) and (39).

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. 16)
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 7.3.)
•
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.)
(e.g. roller table, etc.)
8.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 17)
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.
