7.2 Power-supply connection
Danger! High voltage
 Operate this machine in dry surroundings
only.
 Operate machine only on a power source
meeting the following requirements (see
also "Technical Specifications"):
– outlets properly installed, earthed or
grounded, and tested.
– mains voltage and system frequency
conform to the voltage and frequency
shown on the machine´s rating label;
– Fuse protection by a residual current
circuit breaker (RCCB) of 30 mA sensi-
tivity;
Note:
Check with your local Electricity Board or
electrician if in doubt whether your house
service connection meets these
requirements.
 Position power supply cable so it does not
interfere with the work and is not damaged.
 Protect power supply cable from heat,
aggressive liquids and sharp edges.
 Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables
with sufficient lead cross-section.
 When working out of doors, only use
extension cables that are also approved for
outdoors.
 Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.
 Avoid accidental start-up: ensure that the
on/off switch is switched off when inserting
the plug in the socket.
8. Operation
Risk of injury!
This saw may only be operated by one
person at a time. Other persons shall stay
only at a distance to the saw for the purpose
of feeding or removing stock.
Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order:
– power cable and plug
– ON/OFF switch
– splitting wedge
– blade guard
– feeding aids (push stick, push block and
handle).
Use personal protection gear:
– dust respirator;
– hearing protection;
– safety goggles.
Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw;
– in front of the saw;
– to the left of the line of cut;
– when working with two persons, the other
person must remain at an adequate dis-
tance to the saw.
If the type of work requires, use the follow-
ing:
– suitable workpiece supports – if other-
wise workpiece would fall off the table af-
ter cutting;
– dust collector.
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
– Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by
pushing the workpiece against its side.
Risk of kickback.
– Always hold the workpiece down on the
table and do not jam it. Risk of kickback.
– Never cut several workpieces at the same
time – and also no bundles containing
several individual pieces. Risk of person-
18
al injury if individual pieces are caught by
the saw blade uncontrolled.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
Never cut stock to which ropes, cords,
strings, cables or wires are attached or which
contain such materials.
8.1 Dust extraction unit / all-purpose
vacuum cleaner
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech,
oak, ash) can cause cancer when inhaled.
Use a suitable dust extraction unit when
working in enclosed spaces. The dust
extraction unit must meet the following
requirements:
– fits the diameter of the dust extraction
ports (blade guard 38 mm; chip case 35/
44 mm);
3
/h;
– Air volume  460 m
– Negative pressure at the extraction nozzle
of the saw  530 Pa;
– Air speed at the extraction nozzle of the
saw  20 m/s.
The dust extraction ports are located at the chip
case assembly and at the saw blade guard.
Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
8.2

Setting the depth of cut

Danger!
Body parts or objects in the adjustment area
can get caught by the running saw blade! Set
depth of cut only with saw blade at standstill!
The saw blade's cutting depth needs to be
adapted to the workpiece'sheight: the blade
guard shall rest with its front edge on the
workpiece.
 Adjust the cutting depth by turning the
handwheel (17) as required.
Note:
In order to balance eventual play in the
adjustment of the cutting height, always
move the saw blade from below into the
desired position.
8.3

Setting the saw blade tilt

Danger!
Body parts, objects or machine parts in the
adjustment area can get caught by the
running saw blade! Set the depth of cut only
with the saw blade at standstill!
The blade bevel angle can be adjusted between -
1.5° and 46.5°.
1. Release clamping lever (19).
2. Set the desired saw blade inclination by
turning the hand wheel (18).
3. Lock the set inclination by tightening the
clamping lever (19) (turn clockwise).
Setting for undercutting
The blade tilt setting has end stops at 0° and 45°.
For special bevel cuts (undercutting) the bevel
angle can be increased by 1.5° in both directions.
 Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (20) and
place over the right-hand cam plate = bevel
angle of saw blade adjustable between –1.5°
and 45°.
 Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (20) and
place over the left-hand cam plate = bevel angle
of saw blade adjustable between 0° and 46.5°.
ON/OFF Switch
 switch on = press upper switch (15) for 1 - 2
seconds.
 switch off = press lower switch (16).
8.4 Adjusting ripping fence
It is mounted on the guide extrusion at the front of
the saw table.
– Position ripping fence (11) to the right of the saw
17
blade.
The marking in the magnifying glass shows the
set distance between the ripping fence and the
saw blade on the scale.
– Release the clamping lever (12) of the ripping
fence and shift the ripping fence until marking in
the magnifying glass indicates the desired
distance to the saw blade.
