Operation

Switching on and off

(Figure 3)
- The saw can be switched on by pressing the green pushbut-
ton „I". Before you start sawing, wait until the saw blade has
reached its maximum speed.
- In order to switch the saw off again, the red pushbutton „0"
has to be pressed.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth

(Figure 3)
By turning the crank handle (12), the saw blade can be set to the
desired cutting depth (continuous).
- Clockwise: increases the cutting depth
- Anticlockwise: reduces the cutting depth
Adjust the saw blade so that it protrudes approximately 5
mm above the material to be cut. Check the adjustment by
means of a test cut.

Working with the Parallel Stop

Adjusting the Stop Height

(Figures 22 and 24)
- The stop rail (39) of the parallel stop (6) has two guide
surfaces at different heights.
- Depending on the thickness of the materials to be cut, the
stop rail (39) has to be used differently. For thin material
(workpiece thickness less than 25 mm), use Figure 22. For
thick material (workpiece thickness more than 25 mm), use
Figure 24.

Turning the Stop Rail

(Figures 22-24)
- In order to turn the stop rail (39), irst release the two knurled
nuts (m).
- Now the stop rail (39) can be pulled off the guide rail (16)
and pushed back over it again with the groove.
- Tighten the knurled nuts (m) again.

Adjusting the Cutting Width

(Figures 25-26)
- When wooden pieces are being cut lengthwise, the parallel
stop (6) has to be used.
- The parallel stop should be mounted on the right-hand side
of the saw blade (4).
- Insert the parallel stop into the side of the guide rail (16)
(Figure 26).
- On the guide rail for the parallel stop (6) there are 2 scales
(o/n). These show the distance between the stop rail (39)
and saw blade (4) (Figure 25).
- Select the suitable scale according to whether the stop rail
(39) has been turned around for working with thick or thin
material:
High stop rail (thick material): scale (o)
Low stop rail (thin material): scale (n)
28
- Adjust the parallel stop (6) to the desired level on the sight
glass (p) and ix in place with the cam lever (32).

Adjusting the Stop Length

(Figure 27)
- In order to prevent the material being cut from jamming, the
stop rail (39) can be moved in the longitudinal direction.
- Rule of thumb: the rear end of the stop abuts on an imagi-
nary line. This begins at about the middle of the saw blade
and runs towards the back at an angle of 45°.
- Adjust the required cutting width.
- Release the knurled nuts (m) and push the stop rail (39)
forward until the imaginary 45° line is touched.
- Tighten the knurled nuts (m) again.

Adjusting the Parallel Stop

(Figure 28)
- Caution! Remove the guard.
- Adjust the saw blade (4) to the maximum cutting depth.
- Adjust the parallel stop (6) such that the stop rail (39)
touches the saw blade (adjustment for thick material.
- If the parallel stop (6) is not parallel to the saw blade (4),
please proceed as follows. Release the screws (r) on the
parallel stop until the parallel stop (6) can be aligned to be
parallel with the saw blade (4) (Figure 28).
- Retighten the screws (r).

Transverse stop

(Figure 29)
- When the wood is being cut to size, the transverse stop (40)
must be extended with the stop rail (39) of the parallel stop
(6) (Figure 29)
- Push the transverse stop (40) into a groove (33) of the saw
table.
- Loosen the knurled screw (34).
- Turn the transverse stop (40) until the desired angle is set.
The notch on the guide bar shows the angle that has been
set.
- Retighten the knurled screw (34).
- In order to extend the transverse stop (40) with the stop rail
(39), the stop rail (39) has to be removed from the parallel
stop (6). Now the stop rail has to be mounted as shown in
Figure 29; use the knurled nuts (m) for this purpose.
Caution!
- Do not push the stop rail (39) too far in the direction of the
saw blade.
- The distance between the stop rail (39) and saw blade (4)
should be approximately 2 cm.

Adjusting the scale of the parallel stop

(Figure 30)
- Check whether the display on the sight glass (p) of the
parallel stop (6) shows the correct values with respect to the
cutting line. If this is not the case, please proceed as follows:
- Release the screw (q) with which the display on the sight
glass (p) of the parallel stop (6) is attached. The sight glass
(p) display can now be set to the correct position.
- Now, retighten screw (q) on the sight glass (p).
