7.6 Adjusting the table width extension
(Fig. 19)
•
The table width extension (10) on the saw
table (1) can be pulled out to the right.
•
The clamping lever (42) must point away from
the bench-type circular saw to enable the tab-
le width extension (10) to be moved (see Fig.
19a).
•
To lock the table width extension (10) in a
certain position, the clamping lever (42) must
point towards the machine (see Fig. 19b).
•
If the parallel stop is used when the table
width extension (10) is extended, the parallel
stop (7) must be set to the dimension of 25
cm on the main scale (22).
•
Danger! If the parallel stop (7) is not secured
properly, this may cause a kickback.
•
Warning! Especially when the table width
extension is extended, always make sure that
the workpiece lies safely on the saw table and
cannot become jammed.
•
The clamping force of the clamping lever
(42) can be readjusted if necessary. To do so,
slacken the nut (44) and screw the threaded
sleeve (43) out or in as far as required to
reach the desired clamping force. Then secu-
re the threaded sleeve (43) again with the nut
(44).
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
Anl_TE_TS_254_T_SPK13.indb 29
GB
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. 14, 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.)
