ACCESSORIES
Guide System
2 Pieces Screw Clamps
1 Piece Rail Joiner
1 Piece Tilt Protection
Guide Device (Fig. 1.1, 1.2)
The guide rails (A) enable clean, precise cuts and pro-
tect the surfaces from damage.
When sawing with the guide rail, the cut depth is 4.5 mm
less than the scale value on the machine.
For safety, the guide rail can be secured with screw
clamps (B) (not included).
The tilt protection (C) prevents the plunge saw from tilt-
ing during miter cuts and adjustment work.
The rebound protection (D) ensures a safe guiding dur-
ing plunging into the workpiece (not included).
By means of the rail joiner (F), 2 guide rails can be con-
nected and allow long, precise cuts
The guide clearance of the assembly on the guide rail
can be regulated with the two adjustment screws (E).
With the offered accessories, miter cuts, corner cuts and
other fitting tasks can be carried out.
When first using this saw on the optional guide rail, it will
need to be adjusted to slide with minimal side movement
on the guide rail, Adjustable cams (Fig 1.1 "E") are fitted
to do this.
1. Place saw on guide rail.
2. Turn cams (Fig 1.1 "E") anti-clockwise until tight. Then
clockwise slightly to allow clearance. While holding
dials in position lock in place by screwing down the
Socket head Cap screws in the middle of each Cam
(5mm allen key supplied with machine)
3. Pull saw back and forth along rail ensuring it slides
smoothly Re-adjust as needed.
4. Future adjustment may be needed depending on use
of saw.
Splinter Protection
The guide rail comes with a splinter guard, which must
be fitted before the first use.
1 Secure rail with the screw clamps to a piece of scrap
lumber.
2 Adjust the guide clearance on the rail with the two
adjustment screws (E).
3 Set the plunge saw to ca. 6mm cut depth
4 Set up the saw at the back end of the rail.
5 Switch on the machine, press down to the set cut depth
and fit the splinter guard along the whole length in
one pass without stopping. The edge of the splinter
guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge of
the saw blade
Caution!
Always secure the workpiece in such a way that it
cannot shift.
Always move the machine forward; never pull it to-
ward the body.
TO SAW:
1 Set the saw on the guide rail.
2 Switch on the machine.
3 Press the saw slowly down to the set cut depth and
move this evenly forward along the rail.
PLUNGE CUTS:
To Saw:
1 Set the saw on the guide rail at the marked cutting
point
2 Secure the rebound protection or fence (accessory
not included) at the back and front cut points on the
guide rail.
3 Switch on the machine.
4 Press the saw down slowly to the set cut depth and
move this forward evenly on the rail up to the front
cutting point.
Tilt Protection:
For miter cuts, it is advisable to install a tilt protection
(accessory not included). This prevents the machine
from tilting to one side while in an oblique position.
Injuries to the body or damage to the machine can be
avoided thereby.
