Operation

5.1 Initial operation

Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must
be made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular attention
instructions".

5.2 Switching on and off


Switching on: Press the green switch button 12
(Fig. 3 – page 3).

Switching off: Press the red switch button 11.
The saw shaft is automatically braked, reducing
the slowing down time to less than 10 s.

5.3 Overload protection

Triggering of the motor protection is
always a sign for motor overload,
whereby the cause must be
determined and eliminated.
The speed is automatically reduced when the motor
is overloaded respectively the motor is automatically
shut down in the case of power failure. You can turn
the motor on again after the power supply has been
resumed.

5.4 Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth can be steplessly adjusted by
turning the handwheel 8 (Fig. 6 - page 3) from 2 to 62
mm (5/64 – 2.44 in.). Turning clockwise increases
the cutting depth; turning anticlockwise decreases the
cutting depth.
In order to achieve good cutting quality, the adjusted
cutting depth of the saw blade should be approx. 5
mm (1/4 in.) more than the processed material
thickness.
Depending upon the position of the kerf guide in both
latching positions, the measurement scale 33
mounted on the kerf guide and vertical to the table
surface (Fig. 11 - page 4) can be used to adjust a
specific cutting depth.This however only applies to
saw blades with ø 190 mm (7 31/64 in.).
to the chapter "Safety
If an accurate adjustment of the cutting depth is
necessary, e.g. when grooving or chiselling always
start from below in order to compensate possible
play.

5.5 Setting for bevel cuts

Danger
Make sure before inclining with a
running saw blade that neither the
universal stop nor workpieces are
in the swivel range of the saw
blade.
For angles up to 45° you must first of all release the
fixing lever 29 (Fig. 6 – page 3) by turning it counter
clockwise. Swivel the saw unit by turning the handle
30. The cutting angle is indicated on the indicator of
angle scale 31.Tighten the locking lever 29 again.
If the slide bar 32 is pushed upwards, the saw unit
can be tilted by an additional 2° beyond the two end
positions 0° and 45°. By resetting the slide bar 32,
the basic setting is restored.

5.6 Universal stop

The complete universal stop consists of the rod
holder 13 (Fig. 2 - page 3) and the guide rod 16 that
can be adjusted inside the retaining bracket. You can
clamp it firmly according to requirements at all sides
of the table top in the dovetail guides using wing bolt
11 located on the underside of rod holder 13.
This stop can be used both as parallel stop on the
circular saw and also as cross and mitre stop for the
pull-push saw.
The position of the stop rail 6 (workpiece positioning)
to the index plate and/or to the scale has been
precisely adjusted at the factory. Nevertheless, if a
later adjustment should become necessary, this is
accomplished as follows:

Attach the universal stop in the dovetail guide
on the right or left longitudinal side of the table.

Bring the stop rail into the 0° position by
releasing the upper wing bolt 12 and tighten the
wing bolt.

Loosen both cylinder-head screws, which are
accessible from above with a screwdriver.
