ATTENTION:
Do not slide the stop rail too far in the direction of the
saw blade. The distance between the stop rail (6) and
the saw blade (4) must be approx. 2 cm.
10. Operation
Working instructions
• After every new setting, we recommend performing
a test cut, in order to check the dimensional settings.
• After switching on the saw, wait until the saw blade
has reached its max. speed before making the cut.
• Be careful when cutting.
• Only operate the product with a suitable chip extrac-
tion system.
• Check and clean the suction channels at regular
intervals.
10.1 Carrying out longitudinal cuts (Fig. 13)
DANGER!
Saw rectangular workpieces only with the long
side on the parallel stop. Never use the short side!
Risk of kick-back!
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
One edge of the workpiece is pressed against the par-
allel stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
Before starting sawing, ensure that the saw blade
guard (2) lowers automatically onto the material to
be sawn. The working position for the longitudinal cut
must never be in line with the cutting process.
1.
Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to the height
of the workpiece and the required width (see 9.4).
2.
First switch on the chip extraction system and then
the circular table saw.
3.
Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your
fingers closed and slide the workpiece along the
parallel stop (7) into the saw blade (4).
4.
Guide laterally with the left or right hand (depend-
ing on the position of the parallel stop) only up to
the front edge of the saw blade guard (2).
5.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the riving knife (3).
6.
The cutting waste remains on the saw table (1) un-
til the saw blade (4) has completely stopped.
Attention: To remove the cutting waste, first
switch off the saw and wait for the saw blade (4)
to stop.
7.
Secure larger workpieces against tipping after the
cutting process (for example a reel-off stand etc.)
ATTENTION:
The parallel stop must be set parallel with the saw
blade (see 8.2). Check the alignment. Ensure that the
parallel stop is firmly seated at regular intervals, par-
ticularly during use and after longer periods not in use.
Tighten the clamping lever again and adjust the parallel
stop if necessary. Vibrations can loosen screws and
change the position of the parallel stop.
10.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 14)
Longitudinal cuts of workpieces with a width of less
than 120 mm must always be made with the aid of a
push stick (8).
Replace a worn or damaged push stick (8) immediately.
1.
Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to the prede-
fined workpiece width (see 9.4).
2.
Push the workpiece with both hands. Always use
a push stick (8) in the area of the saw blade as a
pushing aid.
3.
Always slide the workpiece to the end of the riving
knife (3) using the push stick (8).
m WARNING!
For short workpieces, the push stick (8) must be used
as soon as you start cutting.
10.1.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces (Fig. 15)
A wooden push block must always be used for longi-
tudinal cuts of very narrow workpieces with a width 30
mm and less.
The wooden push block is not included in the scope
of delivery! (Available from your specialist dealer) Re-
place the wooden push block without delay when it be-
comes worn.
During sawing, workpieces may become jammed
between the parallel stop (7) and the saw blade (3),
caught by the saw blade and then ejected at speed.
For this reason, the lower guide surface of the parallel
stop should be favoured (see Fig. 10). Shift the stop rail
if required (see 9.4.2).
1.
Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to the cutting
width of the workpiece.
2.
Use the wooden push block to press the workpiece
against the stop rail (6) and use the push stick (8)
to push the workpiece through to the end of the
riving knife (3).
Never use the wooden push block to press the work-
piece against the saw blade (4). There is a risk of jam-
ming or kickback.
