7.3.3 Setting the stop length (Fig. 17, 18)
•
The stop rail (23) can be moved in longitudi-
nal direction in order to prevent the workpiece
from becoming jammed.
•
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop co-
mes up against an imaginary line that begins
roughly at the center of the blade and runs at
an angle of 45° to the rear.
•
Set the required cutting width
- Slacken the knurled screws (26) and push
the stop rail (23) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the knurled screws (26).
Warning! The gap between the saw table (1) and
the underside of the stop rail (23) must not be
too large in order to prevent the material getting
jammed. To adjust the distance, the parallel stop
(7) must be fastened fi rst using the eccentric lever
(12). Then slacken the knurled screws (26), lower
the stop rail (23) down to the saw table (1) and
secure the knurled screws (26) again afterwards.
7.4 Cross stop (Fig. 20)
The cross stop (14) has to be used when making
cross cuts in wooden workpieces.
•
Slide the cross stop (14) into the slot (21) of
the saw table.
•
Undo the locking screw (20).
•
Turn the stop rail (24) until the arrow points to
the angle required.
•
Re-tighten the fastening screw (20).
•
Check the gap between the stop rail (24) and
the saw blade (4).
•
Warning! Do not push the stop rail (24) too
far toward the blade. The distance between
the stop rail (24) and the blade (4) should be
approx. 2 cm.
•
If necessary, slacken the two knurled screws
(43) and adjust the stop rail (24).
•
Retighten the knurled screws (43).
7.5 Setting the angle of the saw blade
(Fig. 16)
•
Undo the locking grip (9).
•
To adjust the angle of the saw blade, press
the hand wheel (8) towards the machine and
turn it at the same time until the pointer (41)
is aligned with the desired angular setting on
the scale (42).
•
Secure the locking grip (9) again.
•
If needed, the end stop for adjusting the ang-
le of the saw blade can be readjusted for 0°
and 45°. To do this, adjust the two adjustment
screws (44) and (45).

7.6 Operation of the laser (Fig. 12)
Switching on: Move the laser On/Off switch (55)
to the "I" position to switch on the laser unit (54). A
laser line is projected onto the material you wish
to process, providing an exact guide for the cut.
Switching off : Move the On/Off switch (55) to the
"0" position.
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
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.).
