Note:
If necessary, the play of the mitre fence (1) can be
set: Loosen the screws (35) on the plastic slider
on the mitre fence guide rails, move the plastic
slider, tighten the screws again.
8.7 Adjusting table width extension
The table width extension (9) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
larger workpieces.
1. To pull out the table width extension (9), both
knurled screws (37) must be released.
2. Pull out the table width extension (9) and set to
desired distance.
3. Retighten both knurled screws (37) .
Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre fence the handle
must be firmly tightened
Scale reading when using the ripping fence
On which scale the cutting width is read depends
on how the fence extrusion is installed on the
ripping fence:
– Wide edge =
scale with black numerals on white background.
– Small edge =
scale with white numerals on black background.
For small cutting widths the table side extension
is not extended. The cuttings width is read on the
respective right-hand scale at the ripping fence's
pointer:
– Wide edge: cutting width from 0 to 35 cm.
– Small edge: cutting width from 0 to 29.5 cm.
If larger workpieces are to be cut, the table width
extension (9) needs to be extended.
1. Shift ripping fence to the end position on the
scale.
2. Pull out table side extension and set ripping
fence to desired cutting width. The cuttings
width is read on the respective left-hand scale
at the scale's pointer.
8.8 Adjusting table extension
The table length extension (3) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
longer workpieces.
1. To pull out the table length extension, both
knurled screws (36) must be released.
36
2. Withdraw table length extension and set to
desired distance.
3. Retighten both knurled screws.
8.9 Sawing
Danger!
Always use push stick if distance between
