9.0. Operation

Important!!
After every new adjustment we recommend you
n
to make a trial cut in order to check the new
settings.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
n
reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
Take extra care when starting the cut!
n
Never use the equipment without the suction
n
function. Regularly check and clean the suction
channels.
9.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 29)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when
you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel
stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The guard hood (2) must always be lowered over the
workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt a
working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
n
workpiece height and the desired width. (See
8.3.)
Switch on the saw.
n
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
n
workpiece and push the workpiece along the
parallel stop (7) and into the blade (4).
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
n
(depending on the position of the parallel stop)
only as far as the front edge of the guard hood.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
n
the splitter (5).
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1)
n
until the blade (4) is back in its position of rest.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
n
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.) .
9.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 30)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making
n
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the
saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
9.1.3. Cutting extremely narrow workpieces (Fig.
31)
Be sure to use a push block when making
n
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces with
a width of 30 mm and less.
The low guide face of the parallel stop is best
n
used in this case (Fig. 27).
20
There is no push block supplied with the
saw! (Available from your specialist dealer)
Replace the push block without delay when it
becomes worn.
9.1.4. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 32)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (7).
Set the blade (41) to the desired angle. (See
n
8.5.)
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
n
workpiece width and height (see 8.3.1)
Carry out the cut in accordance with the
n
workpiece width (see 9.1.1., 9.1.2 and 9.1.3.)
9.2. Making cross cuts (Fig. 33)
Set the cross stop (7) to the desired angle. (See
8.4.)
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop
(7).
Switch on the saw.
Push the cross stop (7) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
Important: Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be
cut off.
Push the cross stop (7) forward until the
workpiece is cut all the way through.
Switch off the saw again. Do not remove the
offcut until the blade has stopped rotating.

10. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
11. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
11.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
