Working examples
Crosscutting against the rip fence
Fig. 3-13: Crosscutting
The material is laid against the mitre fence of the
cross slide. The desired dimension is set on the rip
fence, the extension fence is pulled back to in front
of the saw blade after unclamping it and the item to
be cut moved with the sliding table. With the exten-
sion fence withdrawn the workpiece cannot stick
between saw blade and fence.
Crosscutting short and narrow workpieces
Fig. 3-14: Crosscutting
Tool: Circular saw blade for fine cutting.
Operation: Set the magnetic guide piece (not in-
cluded with the machine) so that workpiece offcuts
cannot come into contact with the rising part of the
saw blade. Only feed the workpiece using the mitre
fence. Do not remove fallen pieces from the vicinity
of the tool with your hands.

Dividing up large boards
With this operation the dimension can be set either
at the rip fence or at the mitre fence. If you wish to
cut out many pieces with the same dimensions from
a larger board, the best way to proceed is to first cut
off parallel strips at the rip fence and then cut these
to the desired dimensions. However as soon as the
part pieces are greater than the cutting width of the
machine the dimension is set at the mitre fence of
the machine.
