7.2 Mounting the raving knife
The supplied raving knife must always
be used.
The machine is equipped with a raving
knife for the use of sawblades
diameter 250 mm.
The raving knife has to be adjusted in
such a way that over its entire length
the gap between sawblade and raving
knife does not exceed min. 3 mm and
max. 8 mm (Fig 16).
Fig 16
The raving knife (P, Fig 17) can be
adjusted in both vertical and
horizontal direction.
Fig 17
The height setting has to be adjusted
in such a way that the sawguard
bottom never exceeds more than 3
mm above the highest placed
sawblade tooth.
After height adjustment always locks
the central bolt (Q).
Never remove this raving knife.
Kickbacks are severe and very
dangerous.
No submerged cuts by removing the
raving knife and/or saw guard may be
performed.
7.3 Mounting the saw guard
The sawguard (O, Fig 17) must
always be used.
Attach the saw guard to the raving
knife (P).
The sawguard must be lowered to the
workpiece to minimise the amount of
exposed teeth.
Adjustment shall never be performed
when the machine is running.
The saw guard has to be connected to
the dust extractor system.
7.4 Rising and tilting sawblade
Setup adjustments of the sawblade
shall never be performed when the
machine is running.
Use the front hand wheel to raise the
sawblade (one turn of the handwheel
equals to approximately 3 mm of
height setting).
Use the right hand wheel to tilt the
sawblade.
Both 45° and 90° positive stops are
factory set.
Start the machine with care.
7.5 Sliding table setup
Sliding table setup shall never be
performed when the machine is
running.
When loading panels and when rip
cutting the sliding table must be
locked.
It is recommended to clean the sliding
table once a week, and to remove all
sawdust and chips which gradually
slow down the sliding table.
Never use oil or grease!
7.6 Rip fence setup
Rip fence setup shall never be
performed when the machine is
running.
Note:
The rip fence profile can be placed flat
and adjusted in length.
-The cutting of small work pieces
(width less than 120mm) shall only be
performed with the rip fence profile
placed flat (Fig 18).

Fig 18
When cross cutting using the rip
fence, to avoid the wood getting stuck
between the fence and the riving knife
(resulting in a highly dangerous
kickback) it is necessary to position
the fence so that its end corresponds
with the front of the sawblade (Fig 19).
Fig 19
Start the machine with precaution.
7.7 Blade tilt 45° and 90° positive
stop adjustment
The blade tilt positive stops can be
adjusted with an allen key (Fig 20).
