8. Operation

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:
– Battery pack
– ON/OFF switch
– Splitting wedge
– Blade guard
– feeding aids (push stick, push block and
handle).
Use personal protection gear:
– dust respirator;
– ear 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
following:
– 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 work pieces at the
same time – and also no bundles contain-
ing several individual pieces. Risk of per-
sonal injury if individual pieces are
caught by the saw blade uncontrolled.
Never cut stock to which ropes, cords,
Risk of injury!
Entanglement hazard!
strings, cables or wires are attached or which
contain such materials.
8.1 Connect chip bag / chip suction unit /
universal vacuum cleaner
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech,
oak, ash) can cause cancer when inhaled.
Only work in enclosed spaces with the fitted
chip bag or a suitable chip suction unit.
In addition, use a dust mask, as not all saw
dust is collected or extracted.
Operation with out chip bag or appropriate
chip suction unit is only possible outside.
If you operate the device with the supplied
dust sack:
 Attach the separating cyclone (28) with fitted
chip bag (27) to the suction supports (29).
 Empty the chip bag (27) regularly. Wear a dust
mask while emptying the sack.
If you connect the device to a chip and dust
extraction unit:
The dust extraction unit must meet the following
requirements:
 Suitable for the diameter of the suction nozzles
(chip box 35/44 mm);
3
 Air quantity  460 m /h;
 Underpressure at the saw's suction nozzles 
530 Pa;
 Air speed at the saw's suction nozzles 20 m/s.
 The suction nozzles for extraction of the chips
are located on the 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's height: the blade
guard shall rest with its front edge on the
workpiece.
 Adjust the cutting depth by turning the
handwheel (16) as required.

Note:
In order to balance eventual play in the
adjustment of the cutting height, always
