Operating Instructions

After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial cut in order to check the set
dimensions.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed of rotation
before commencing with the cut.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
Take extra care when starting the cut!
1� CUTTING NARROW WORKPIECES (WIDTH LESS THAN 120 mm) (SEE FIG D)
Adjust the parallel guide (10) to the width of workpiece you require.
Feed in the workpiece with two hands.
Always use the push stick (8) in the area of the TCT blade (11). (A push stick is supplied with
the saw!)
Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife (12).
CAUTION! With short workpieces, use the push stick from the beginning.

3� STANDARD 45° MITRE CUTS (SEE FIG E)

45°cutting guide to the parallel guide as shown in FIG E. Set the parallel guide to required
cutting width and tighten securely. Place the workpiece into the 45°cutting guide.
