Usage - Manupro MPSCST255MM Guide D'utilisation

• Switching on the laser: Set the laser switch (34) to
"I". The laser switch (34) is accessible through a
recess in the saw blade guard (2) when the saw
blade guard is fitted (Fig. 13a). A red laser beam is
now projected from the laser aperture. When the
laser beam is guided along the cutting line marking
during sawing, clean cuts are achieved.
• Switching off the laser: Set the laser switch (34) to
"0". The laser beam goes out. Please always switch
off the laser when it is not needed to save the bat-
teries.
• The laser beam can be blocked by dust and chip
deposits. For this reason, remove these particles
from the laser aperture after each use (device
switched off).

11. Usage

11.1 Working instructions
• After each new adjustment, we recommend a trial
cut in order to check the set dimensions.
• After the saw has been switched on, wait until the
saw blade has reached its maximum speed before
you carry out the cut.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end of
the cutting process (e.g. unwinding stand etc.)
• Caution with incision cutting.
• Operate the device only with a suction system.
• Check and clean the suction channels regularly.
11.2 Suitability of the saw blades
• 24 teeth: high chip removal, rough cut image
• 48 teeth: hard materials, lower chip removal, inner
cut image
11.3 Performing longitudinal cuts (Fig. 24)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction.
One edge of the workpiece is pressed against the par-
allel stop (14) while the lat side lies on the saw table (1).
The saw blade guard (2) must always be lowered onto
the workpiece. The working position during longitu-
dinal cutting must never be in a straight line with the
cutting line.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (14) and stop rail (30) accord-
ing to the workpiese height and the desired width.
2. Switch on the saw.
3. Place your hands with the fingers closed togeth-
er flat on the workpiece and push the workpiese
along the stop rail (30) into the saw blade (4).
4. Guide from the side with your left or right hand (de-
pending on the position of the parallel stop) only up
to the front edge of the saw blade guard (2).
5. Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the riving knife (3).
6. The cutting waste remains on the saw table (1) un-
til the saw blade (4) is back in its resting position.
7. Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end
of the cutting process! (e.g. unwinding stand etc.)

ATTENTION: The parallel stop must be set parallel
with the saw blade. Check the alignment and firm
seating of the rip fence (14), especially during use
and when not in use for long periods Vibrations can
cause screw connections to loosen. If necessary, re-
adjust the rip fence (14) and retighten the knurled nut
(i). Secure the screw connections (k) with the Allen
wrench (not supplied) (Fig. 21a).
11.3.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 25)
Longitudinal cuts of workpieces with a width of less
than 120 mm always have to be cut with the help of a
push stick (17). The push stick (17) is included in the
scope of delivery. Replace a worn or damaged push
stick (17) immediately.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (14) according to the
planned workpiece width.
2. Advance the workpiece with both hands, making
sure that you use a push stick (17) as a pushing
aid in the vicinity of the saw blade.
3. Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the riving knife.
m CAUTION: In the case of short workpieces, the
push stick should be used from the beginning of the
cutting process.
11.3.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces
For longitudinal cuts of very narrow workpieces with a
width of 30 mm and less, a push block must be used
without fail. There is no push block included in the
scope of delivery! (Available from specialist shops)
Replace a worn push block as soon as possible.
During sawing, workpieces can become jammed be-
tween the parallel stop and the saw blade, caught by
the saw blade and then ejected at speed. For this rea-
son, the lower guide surface of the parallel stop should
be favoured. Shift the stop rail if required (see 9.4.2).
1. The parallel stop should be adjusted to the cutting
width of the workpiece.
2. Press the workpiece with the push block against
the stop rail and push the workpiece with the push
stick (17) through to the end of the riving knife (3).
11.3.3 Performing bevel cuts (Fig. 26)
All bevel cuts are made using the parallel stop (14).
The parallel stop (14) must always be fitted to the right
of the saw blade. Otherwise, workpieces can become
jammed between the parallel stop and the saw blade
during sawing and ejected at speed.
1. Adjust the saw blade to the desired angle.
2. Adjust the parallel stop (14) according to the work-
piece width and height.
3. Perform the cut according to the workpiece width
