-In case of machine overload the
motor overload cut-off will react.
After appr.10 min of cooling the
machine can be started again.
6. Machine operation
Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing out of
the line of cutting (danger zone).
Fig 12
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece
outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw
blade in the direction of the saw line.
Push the workpiece steadily forward;
complete the cut as a single
movement.
Support long and wide workpieces
with helping roller stands.
The use of a power feeder is not
considered.
Crosscut with mitre fence:
Whenever possible use the workpiece
holddown.
Fig 13
Operating hints:
Work only with a sharp and flawless
sawblade.
Take care that the selection of the saw
blade depends on the material to be
cut.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round
timber from turning under the
pressure of the cut.
Use suitable table extensions and
supporting aids for difficult to handle
workpieces.
Always hold and guide the workpieces
safely during machining.
Do not perform any operation
freehand.
Take care when slotting.
When ripping narrow workpieces
(<120mm) use as push-stick or push-
wood.
Make sure that small cut off
workpieces will not be caught and
thrown away by the rising saw blade
teeth.
Remove cut and jammed workpieces
only when motor is turned off and the
machine is at a complete standstill.
Pay particular attention on reducing
the risk of kickback.
The supplied raving knife must always
be used.
For the authorized use of the
machine observe the appendix A
"safe operation"
