6. Machine operation

Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction
of the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the
line drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete
the cut as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece
back, as this could cause the sawblade to run off its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller
stands.
Operating hints:
Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed.
Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow
workpieces.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning
under the pressure of the cut
Workpiece setup:
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approx 2-5mm
to the workpiece. (See Fig 17).
For your own safety, always set the saw guide as close to
the workpiece as possible.

To adjust the cutting height release the winged nut (A, Fig
18) and move the upper blade guide and guard assembly
(B).
Blade Drift Compensation:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the
blade begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig. 19).
Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsufficient.
- Blade-teeth have asymmetric"set"
Auxiliary fence for rip fence:
For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as
close to the workpiece as possible.
