position by pressing the eccentric lever (12).
8.3.3. Setting the stop length (Fig. 10)
The stop rail (25) can be moved in longitudinal
direction in order to prevent the workpiece from
becoming jammed.
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes
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 (25) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the knurled screws (26).
8.4. Cross stop (Figure 9)
Slide the cross stop (14) into the groove (38) of
the table.
Slacken the knurled screw (32).
Turn the cross stop (14) until the arrow points to
the angle required.
Retighten the knurled screw (32).
When cutting large parts of workpieces you can
use the stop rail (25) from the parallel stop (7) to
extend the length of the cross stop (14) (Fig. 15)
Important!
Do not push the stop rail (25) too far toward the
blade.
The distance between the stop rail (25) and the
blade (4) should be approx. 2 cm.
8.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 16)
Undo the fixing handle (9).
Turn the handle to set the desired angle on the
scale.
Lock the fixing handle again in the required
angle position.
9.0. Operation
Important!!
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!
9.1. 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 flat 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
8.3.)
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 guard 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.) .
9.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 22)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push block is supplied with the
saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
9.1.3. 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 30 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.
9.1.4. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 16/24)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (7).
Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. (See 8.5.)
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height (see 8.3.1)
Carry out the cut in accordance with the
workpiece width (see 9.1.1., 9.1.2 and 9.1.3.)
