8. Working

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.
•
Check that the saw blade guard can be lowe-
red onto the workpiece each time before use
and that the braking time of the blade is less
than 10 seconds. Do not use the equipment
if the braking time is longer, and contact the
customer services team.
8.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Fig. 24a)
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 universal stop (7) while the fl at 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 direction.
•
Set the universal 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 universal stop (7) and into the blade (5).
•
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the universal
stop) only as far as the front edge of the gu-
ard hood.
•
Always push the workpiece through to the
end of the splitter (2).
•
The offcut piece remains on the saw table
(1) until the blade (5) 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.)

8.1.2 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 25)
Be sure to use a push stick (29) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the
saw! Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.

8.1.3 Cutting very narrow workpieces

(Fig. 26)
•
Be sure to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces
with a width of 30 mm and less.
•
The low guide face of the parallel stop is best
used in this case.
•
A suitable push block device (28) is inclu-
ded in delivery. Replace the push block
without delay when it becomes worn.
8.1.4 Making angular cuts (Fig. 22)
Angular cuts must always be made using the uni-
versal stop as a parallel stop (7).
•
Set the blade (5) to the desired angle (see
7.5).
•
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece width and height (see 7.3.1).
•
Carry out the cut in accordance with the work-
piece width (see 8.1.1., 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.).
8.1.5 Making cross cuts (Fig. 24b)
•
Set the universal stop (7) or accessory slide
to the desired angle (see 7.4 or 7.6).
•
If necessary, position the stop rail (6/101) so
that it cannot collide with the saw blade when
you make your cut.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Press the workpiece firmly against the stop
rail (6 or 101).
•
Push the universal stop or accessory slide
and the workpiece toward the blade in order
to make the cut.
•
Warning! Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be
cut off.
•
Push the universal stop or accessory slide
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.
