Cutting Width; Operation - EINHELL TH-TS 1525 U Originalbetriebsanleitung

7.3.2. Cutting width:

•
The parallel stop (7) has to be used when
making longitudinal cuts in wooden workpie-
ces.
•
The parallel stop (7) can be mounted on eit-
her side of the saw table (1).
•
The parallel stop (7) has to be mounted in the
guide rail (28) of the saw table (1).
•
The parallel stop (7) can be set to the requi-
red dimension with the help of the scale (22)
on the guide rail (1).
•
You can clamp the parallel stop in the requi-
red position by pressing the eccentric lever
(12).
7.3.3. Setting the stop length (Fig. 9)
•
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 center 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 (Figure 8)
•
Slide the cross stop (14) into the groove (21)
of the table.
•
Slacken the knurled screw (20).
•
Turn the cross stop (14) until the arrow points
to the angle required.
•
Retighten the knurled screw (20).
Important!
•
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.
7.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 14)
•
Undo the fixing handle (9).
•
Turn the handle to set the desired angle on
the scale.
•
Lock the fixing handle again in the required
angle position.

8. Operation

Important!!
•
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.
•
The cap on the blade guard can be removed
in order to be able to connect a suction hose
to the blade guard.
•
A suction adapter set for connecting a va-
cuum extraction system to the blade guard
and to the suction adapter is available as an
accessory.
8.1.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 19)
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 at side lies on the
saw table (1). The guard hood (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.).
