Operation - Scheppach HS81S Original Bedienungsanleitung

Setting the cutting width (fig. 17)
• The rip fence (13) must be used for longitudinal cut-
ting of wood parts.
• The rip fence (13) should be mounted on the right
side of the saw blade (3).
• Place the parallel stop (13) onto the saw table in a
downwards direction.
• The parallel stop (13) can be set to the required di-
mension with the aid of the scale on the saw table.
• Clamp the parallel stop (13) securely with the lever
(31).
Transverse stop (fig. 18)
• Push the transverse stop (7) into a groove (32) of
the saw bench.
• Loosen the handle screw (35).
• Turn the cross stop (7) until the desired angle is
set. The arrow on the transverse stop is at the set
angle.
• Tighten the knurled screw (35) again.
• The stop bar (33) can be moved on the transverse
stop (13). Loosen the nuts (34) and push the stop
rail (33) to the desired position. Tighten the nuts
(34) again.
Caution!
• Do not push the stop rail (33) too far towards the
saw blade.
• The distance between the stop rail (33) and saw
blade (3) should be about 2 cm.

10. Operation

Working instructions
After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out
a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions. After
switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach its
maximum speed of rotation before commencing with
the cut.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end
of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
Take extra care when starting the cut!
Never use the equipment without the suction func-
tion.
Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 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 (13) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The blade guard (4) 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 direc-
tion.
• Set the parallel stop (13) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width.

• Switch on the saw.
• Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
workpiece and push the workpiece along the paral-
lel stop (13) and into the blade (3).
• Guide at the side with your left or right hand (de-
pending on the position of the parallel stop) only
as far as the front edge of the saw blade guard (4).
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (6).
• The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until
the blade (3) 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.) (e.g.
roller table etc.)
Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 20)
Be sure to use a push stick (14) when making lon-
gitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in
width. A push block is supplied with the saw! Replace
a worn or damaged push stick immediately.
• Adjust the parallel stop to the width of workpiece
you require.
• Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always use
the push stick (14) in the area of the saw blade.
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter.
m Caution! With short workpieces, use the push
stick from the beginning.
Making angular cuts (Fig. 21)
Angular cuts must always be made using the parallel
stop (13).
• Set the blade to the desired angle.
• Set the parallel stop (13) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height
• Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece
width.
Making cross cuts (Fig. 22)
• Push the transverse stop (7) into the groove (32) of
the saw table and set it to the required angle.
• Use the stop rail.
• Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop
(7).
• Switch on the saw.
• Push the cross stop (7) 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 (7) 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.
