10.1 Making long cuts (Fig. 41)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting)
is when you use the saw to cut along the
grain of the wood. One edge of the
workpiece is pressed against the parallel
stop (7) whilst the flat side rests on the
sawing table (1). The saw blade guard (2)
must always be lowered onto the
workpiece. When you make a longitudinal
cut, never adopt a working position that is in
line with the cutting direction.
Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to the
height of the workpiece and the desired
width. (see 9.4)
Switch on the saw.
When sliding the workpiece along the
parallel stop (7) into the saw blade (5),
hands should be laid flat onto the
workpiece, with fingers together.
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 saw
blade guard (2).
Slide the workpiece through, up until the
end of the splitter (4).
The sawing waste stays on the sawing table
(1) until the saw blade (5) is no longer
moving.
Long workpieces should be secured, to
prevent tilting at the end of the cutting
process. (e.g. cable winders, etc.)
10.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 42)
Longitudinal cuts on workpieces narrower
than 120mm must always be carried out
with the help of a push stick (17). A push
stick is included in the items supplied.
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.

10.1.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces
(Fig. 43)
Be sure to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces
with a width of 30 mm and less.
The lower guide face of the parallel stop is
best used in this case.
The push block is not supplied with the
machine! (Available from appropriate
dealer). Replace the push block without
delay when it becomes worn.
10.1.3 Making cross cuts (Fig. 44)
Diagonal cuts should only be carried out using
the parallel stop (7).
Set the blade (5) to the desired angle. (see
9.3)
Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to
width and height of the workpiece (see 9.4).
Make the cut in accordance with the width
of the workpiece (see 10.1.1 and 10.1.2).
10.1.4 Making cross cuts (Fig. 45)
Slide the cross stop (13) into one of the two
grooves (29) on the sawing table and adjust
to the desired angle (see 9.6). Should the
saw blade (5) additionally be set diagonally,
use the groove (29) which would not enable
your hand and the cross stop to come into
contact with the saw blade.
If necessary, use a stop rail (e).
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop (13).
Switch on the saw.
Push the cross stop (13) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
Important:
Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is
to be cut off.
Push the cross stop (13) forward until the
workpiece is cut all the way through.
Switch off the saw again. Do not remove the
offcut until the blade has stopped rotating.
10.1.5 Cutting particle board panels
To avoid break-off at the cut edges when
cutting particle board, the saw blade (5) should
not be set higher than 5mm more than the
workpiece thickness (see also 9.2).
