Clamping Shoe; Push Stick; Push Block (Trough-Sawing) - Altendorf WA 80 Operator's Manual

Clamping shoe

Always switch off the main switch before ad-
justing the riving knife!
To adjust the riving knife unlock the upper carriage
and move it to its end position and lift up the orange
protective cover. The supplied SW 19 ring spanner
can then be used to release the clamping bolt on
the riving knife holder. The riving knife can then be
positioned at the correct height by moving it in its
slot or adjusting the gap between it and the blade
by moving the entire holder on the bar, noting the
markings on the riving knife when doing this. Then
re tighten the clamping bolt and close the protective
cover.

3.3.3 Clamping shoe
The clamping shoe is used for trimming planks and
fixes the workpiece securely on the sliding table.

3.3.4 Push stick

For cutting width less than 120 mm the push
stick must be used to prevent your hands get-
ting near the saw blade when working. The
push stick holder is located close to the work
area on the rip fence.

3.3.5 Push block (trough-sawing)

Push blocks should be used for cutting narrower
workpieces and if necessary, for pressing the work-
piece against the fence. A push block can easily be
made by the operator and be fitted with the push
block handle suppled with the machine.
