Attachment And Operation - Scheppach MST254 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Pull out the pre-installed tilt protection (36) com-
pletely and secure it with an Allen key (D) (fig.2).
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the equipment is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails
or screws, etc.
• Before you press the ON/OFF switch check that the
saw blade is fitted correctly. Moving parts must run
smoothly.
• Before you connect the equipment to the power
supply make sure the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
7.1 Checking the moving saw blade guard safety
device (5)
The saw blade guard protects against accidental con-
tact with the saw blade and from chips flying around.
Check function
To do so, fold the saw downwards:
• The saw blade guard must provide free access to
the saw blade without touching other parts.
• When folding the saw upwards into the starting
position, the saw blade guard must cover the saw
blade automatically.

8. Attachment and operation

8.1 Attaching the sliding compound mitre saw
(fig. 1/2/4/5/23)
• In order to adjust the rotary table (14), fold the lock-
ing handle (11) upwards and pull up the latched po-
sition lever (35) with your index finger.
• Turn the rotary table (14) and pointer (12) to the de-
sired angle measurement of the scale (13). To fix
the setting, fold the locking handle (11) downwards.
• Pressing the machine head (4) lightly downwards
and removing the locking bolt (23) from the motor
bracket at the same time disengages the saw from
the lowest position.
• Swing the machine head (4) up.
• It is possible to secure the clamping devices (7) to
the left or right on the fixed saw table (15). Insert
the clamping devices (7) in the holes on the rear
side of the stop rail (16) and secure it with the star
grip screws (7a).
For 0°- 45° mitre cuts, the clamping device (7) must
only be mounted on the right side (see fig. 11-12).
• It is possible to tilt the machine head (4) a max. 45°
to the left by loosening the set screw (22).

• Workpiece supports (8) must always be secured
and used during work. Set the desired table size
by loosening the set screw (9). Then tighten the set
screw (9) again.
8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut
90° (fig. 1/2/5/6)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure it using the
locking bolt (23).
• Loosen the set screw (22).
• Position the angle stop (A) between the saw blade
(6) and the rotary table (14).
• Loosen the lock nut (26a).
• Adjust the adjusting screw (26) until the angle be-
tween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90°.
• Re-tighten the lock nut (26a).
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a
Phillips screwdriver, set to position 0° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.3 Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° (fig. 1/2/7)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode.
If the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is neces-
sary to ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the
machine head (4) can move.
Attention! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop
rail (16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) in-
wards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a
position far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) is no more than 8 mm..
• Before making the cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Re-tighten the set screw (16b).
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (1) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail
(16) and on the turntable (14).
• Lock the material with the clamping devices (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Release the lock switch (3) and press the ON/OFF
switch (2) to start the motor.
