Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade
guard as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate
properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to
blockage of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards
disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the instructions
given in section Mounting the Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and
reassembling the saw blade.

air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents.
Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when
performing this procedure.

cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals
may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid

DUST EXTRACTION
A separate dust kit is available for optimal dust extraction (DE7779).
CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE (FIG. A3)
• In most cases, the action of the blade is sufficient to hold the material
firmly against the fence.
• If the material has a tendency to lift or come forward from the fence,
preferably use the optional material clamp (23).
• Always use the clamp if cutting non-ferrous metals.
SAWING SHORT WORKPIECES (FIG. A3, A4)
It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (27) both for batch
sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length
stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails (21).
SAWING LONG WORKPIECES (FIG. A3)
WARNING: Always support long workpieces.
Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when
the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option). These items
(except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed
and the outfeed side:
20 Table end plate for support the rails; also when working on an existing
bench.
21 Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm).
22 Material support plates.
23 Material clamp.
24 Swivelling stop.

26 Legstand (supplied with mounting instructions).
Procedure
1. Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.
2. Firmly screw the material support plates (22) to the guide rails (21). The
material clamp (23) now functions as a length stop.
3. Install the table end plates (20).
4. Install the swivelling stop (24) to the rear rail.
5. Use the swivelling stop (24) to adjust the length of medium and long
workpieces. It can be adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when
not in use.
USING THE ROLLER TABLE (FIG. A3, A5)
The roller table (29) makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood
very easy (fig. A5). It can be connected either to the left or to the right of the
machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).
WARNING: Assemble the roller table following the instructions
supplied with the legstand.
• Replace the short support bars provided with the legstand with the
irregular rails from the table on the side the table is to be used.
• Follow all instructions provided with the roller table.
