Connect the suction device

(Fig. 24)
1. Attach a suction hose to the suction adapter (17). If neces-
sary, secure the suction hose with a hose clamp to prevent it
from slipping off the suction adapter (17).
2. A household vacuum cleaner is not suitable as a suction de-
vice. Use a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner or a swarf extrac-
tion machine.

Before putting into operation

• The machine must be set up on a stable surface, i.e. tightly
screwed onto the base frame.
• Before the machine is put into operation, all covers and safety
devices must be properly attached.
• The saw blade must be able to move freely.
• In the case of wood which has already been worked with,
check for foreign bodies such as nails or screws etc.
• Before pressing the on/off switch, make sure that the saw
blade is correctly attached and that moving parts are free-run-
ning.
• Before connecting the machine, check that the data on the
type plate matches those of the mains system.
• The machine must only be connected to a properly installed
safety socket which is protected by a fuse of at least 16A.
• The device must only be connected to a mains socket via a
residual-current circuit breaker (RCD) with a rated leakage
current of not more than 30 mA.
Prior to first use, check the tightness of the out-
er flange of the saw blade.

Operation

Switching on and off

(Figure 3)
- The saw can be switched on by pressing the green pushbut-
ton „I" (13). 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" (13) has to be pressed.

Changing the speed

(Figure 3)
The motor has two speeds which you can switch between on the
speed switch:
3200 min -1
5000 min -1

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 cutting width

(Figures 16-17)
- When wooden pieces are being cut lengthwise, the rip fence
(16) must be used.
- The rip fence should be mounted on the right-hand side of the
saw blade (4).
- There are 2 scales (o/n) on the guide rail (16). These show
the distance between the rip fence (16) and saw blade (4)
(Fig. 25).
- Select the appropriate scale according to whether the rip
fence (16) has been mounted for working with thick or thin
material: high stop rail (thick material): scale (o) lower stop
rail (thin material): scale (n)
- Adjust the rip fence (16) to the desired level on the sight glass
(p) and fix in place with the cam lever (15).
The cam lever (15) must fit the stop rail in such a way that it
can be fixed with medium force.
If this fails, continue to turn the cam lever clockwise, or loosen
it by turning counter-clockwise.

Adjusting the stop length

(Figure 25)
- Rule of thumb: the rear end of the stop abuts on an imaginary
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.

Adjusting the rip fence

(Figure 26)
- Attention! Removing the saw blade guard
- Adjust the saw blade (4) to the maximum cutting depth.
- Adjust the rip fence (16) such that the rail touches the saw
blade.
- If the rip fence (16) is not parallel to the saw blade (4),
please proceed as follows. Loosen the screws (r) on the rip
fence until the rip fence (16) can be aligned to be parallel
with the saw blade (4).
- Retighten the screws (r).

Adjusting the scale of the parallel stop

(Figure 28)
- Check whether the display on the sight glass (p) of the par-
allel stop (16) 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 (16) is attached. The sight glass
(p) display can now be set to the correct position.
- Now, retighten screw (q) on the sight glass (p).

Transverse stop

(Figure 27)
- Push the transverse stop (36) into a groove (33) of the saw
table.
- Loosen the knurled screw (34).
- Turn the transverse stop (36) until the desired angle is set. The
notch on the guide bar shows the angle that has been set.
- Retighten the knurled screw (34).
