neously protect the workpiece surface against dam-
age. In conjunction with the extensive range of ac-
cessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fi tting
work can be completed with the guide system.
The option of securing using G-clamps (17.4) en-
sures a fi rm hold and safe working. The optional
cord guide (17.2) prevents the power cord and vac-
uum hose from catching on the end of the guide
rail.
The guide clearance of the saw table on the guide
rails can be set with the two setting jaws (17.1).
The guide rails are equipped with a splinterguard
(17.3, 18.1), which prevents splintering of the work-
piece by holding the top edge of the workpiece down
as the teeth of the sawblade move upward against
it. The spliterguard has to be cut to size before the
fi rst use:
17.1
- Set the speed of the machine to level 6,
- Place the machine on the rear end of the guide rail,
- Switch the machine on, press it down to the set
cutting depth and cut the splinterguard along the
full length without interruption. The edge of the
splinterguard now corresponds exactly to the cut-
ting edge.
18.1
The splinter guard needs to be replaced if it be-
comes damaged or worn:
- Peel the original splinter guard (18.1) away from
the guide rail.
- As needed, clean residual adhesive and debris
from the guide rail.
- Peel off the plastic backing from the new splinter
guard to expose the adhesive.
- Without stretching the rubber, carefully place the
new splinter guard on the underside of the guide
rail tight to the alignment rib (18.2).
- Make sure the splinter guard is fi rmly pressed
17.3
down to the guide rail.
- Trim the splinter guard as described before.
