7.5 Setting the angle of the saw blade
(Fig. 16)
•
Undo the locking grip (9).
•
To adjust the angle of the saw blade, press
the hand wheel (8) towards the machine and
turn it at the same time until the pointer (41)
is aligned with the desired angular setting on
the scale (42).
•
Secure the locking grip (9) again.
•
If needed, the end stop for adjusting the ang-
le of the saw blade can be readjusted for 0°
and 45°. To do this, adjust the two adjustment
screws (44) and (45).

8. Operation

Warning!
•
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.
8.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 21)
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 fl 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.).
8.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 22)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 150
mm in width. A push block is supplied with the
saw! Replace a worn or damaged push stick im-
mediately.
8.1.2 Cutting extremely narrow workpieces
(Fig. 23)
•
Be sure to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces
with a width of 50 mm and less.
•
The low guide face of the parallel stop is best
used in this case.
•
There is no push block supplied with the
saw! (Available from your specialist dealer).
Replace the push block without delay when it
becomes worn.
8.2 Making bevel cuts (Fig. 24)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (7).
If you tilt the saw blade (4) to the left when making
angular cuts, position the parallel stop (7) on the
right-hand side of the saw blade (4). Guide the
workpiece between the saw blade (4) and the
parallel stop (7).
•
Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. (See
7.5.)
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece width and height (see 7.3)
•
Carry out the cut in accordance with the work-
piece width (see 8.1.1., 8.1.2.)
8.3 Making cross cuts (Fig. 25)
•
Slide the cross stop (21) into one of the
grooves (21) in the table and adjust to the
required angle. (See 7.4.) If you also want to
tilt the blade (4), use the groove (21) which
prevents your hand and the cross stop from
making contact with the blade guard.
•
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop (14).
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Push the cross stop (14) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
•
Warning!
Always hold the guided part of the workpiece.
Never hold the part which is to be cut off.
