In addition, the intended fixing point of the bridge guard
on the machine must be discussed with the manufacturer.
Depending on the fixing point specified by the machine
manufacturer, the guard must be fixed as follows:
With M8 through bolts or bolts supplied with the machine
or M8 hexagonal bolts screwed into appropriately drilled
threaded or through holes. For required drilling diameters
see  Figure 2.
Parallelism to cutter block via fixing screws (H):
In the initial position and
over the entire adjust-
ment range, the long
side of the guard must
not be more than 2 mm
from the upper work-
piece surface on the in-
feed table side and 3
mm on the outfeed side.
This adjustment is made
using the screws (K).

• In this state, the front area (D1) of the bridge must be
D2
D1
This is necessary to compensate for the bending of the
bridge during lifting when feeding the workpiece forward.
Use an SW5 Allen key to
tighten the two M8 fix-
ing screws (H) for the
bridge support on the

must be parallel to the
cutter block. Otherwise,
loosen both screws (H),
correct the parallelism
and tighten the screws
again.
that the bridge rests against the fence and the wheels
are in a vertical position. Then lock the bridge in its
support.
3 - 4 millimetres higher to the table than the rear area
