Dust Extraction - Westfalia TMK-014 Instruction Manual

1. Mark the area to be cut out on the material to be cut. If the area is not a
square or rectangle, separate start and finish lines may have to be drawn.
These are drawn from the start and finish point, at right angles to the line of
cut.
2. To use the width indication system first set the cutting depth, for example,
9 mm and identify this number both on the sides of the safety hood.
3. Align the indication mark below the rearmost number (in this case 9) on the
guard with the start line on the material to be cut.
4. Proceed with the cut until the indication mark below the forward number (in
this case 9) aligns with the finish line on the material being cut.

Dust Extraction

This saw is a powerful machine which produces a large amount of dust.
As the machine has a fully enclosed blade, forced dust extraction is
particularly efficient. Dust extraction is particularly recommended when many
cuts are carried out. Do not over adjust dust extraction to avoid breaks during
cutting.
The enclosed dust bag, an industrial vacuum dust extractor or a vacuum
cleaner for domestic use can be connected to the dust outlet nozzle of the
machine, using the rubber sleeve for dust bag.
Before using attach the dust bag (15) into the stepped end of the rubber
sleeve (16) and the other end over the dust extractor flange (6) of the
plunge saw.
Tape can be used to assist the rubber sleeve and the dust extractor
flange, if required.
Forced dust extraction and a dust mask should always be used when
cutting hazardous materials such as hard woods, MDF or ceramics.
Forced dust extraction is recommended when it is desirable to keep the
working area clean.
Forced dust extraction is essential if the material being cut is slightly
damp.
