General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after
the machine is protected against accidental starting by
pulling the mains plug.

7.1 Saw blade selection

The sawblade has to meet the technical specification.
Choose a suitable sawblade, according to the cutting
operation and according to the material to be cut.
For a high rip cut:
- use a wide sawblade, coarse teethed
(e.g. 20mm, 3 T/")
For a narrow curved cut:
- use a narrow sawblade
(e.g. 3mm, 14 T/").
Pitch:
The pitch should not be smaller than necessary, as the feed
speed is reduced if there are too many teeth working on the
workpiece simultaneously, which causes the saw blade to
wear more quickly.
Ideally, 3 to 12 teeth should be in action at the same time (Fig
24).
The following table shows recommended saw blade pitch in
relation to workpiece thickness (Fig 25).
