10. Functions
Important!!
■ After every new adjustment we recommend
you to make a trial cut in order to check the
new settings.
■ After switching on the saw, wait for the
blade to reach its maximum speed of
rotation before commencing with the cut.
■ Take extra care when starting the cut!
■ Never use the equipment without the
suction function.
■ Regularly check and clean the suction
channels.
■ Suitability of the saw blades:
- 24 teeth:
soft materials, large chip depth, coarse cut
profile
- 48 teeth:
hard materials, small chip depth, fine cut
profile
10.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 39)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is
when you use the saw to cut along the grain of
the wood.
Press one edge of the workpiece against the
parallel stop (7) while the flat side lies on the
saw table (1). The blade guard (2) must always
be lowered over the workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt
a working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
■ Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece height and the desired width.
(See 9.4.)
■ Switch on the saw.
■ Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat
on the workpiece and push the workpiece
along the parallel stop (7) and into the blade
(5).
■ Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel
stop) only as far as the front edge of the saw
blade guard (2).
■ Always push the workpiece through to the
end of the splitter (4).
■ The offcut piece remains on the saw table
(1) until the blade (5) is back in its position
of rest.
■ Secure long workpieces against falling off at
the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand
etc.) (e.g. roller table etc.)
10.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 40)
Be sure
to use a push stick (17) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push block is supplied with the
saw! Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
10.1.2 Cutting very narrow workpieces
(Fig. 41)
■ Be sure to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces
with a width of 30 mm and less.
■ The low guide face of the parallel stop is
best used in this case.
■ There is no push block supplied with
the saw! (Available from your specialist
dealer) Replace the push block without
delay when it becomes worn.
10.1.3 Making angular cuts (Fig. 42)
Angular cuts must always be made using the
parallel stop (7).
■ Set the blade (5) to the desired angle. (See
9.3.)
■ Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with
the workpiece width and height (see 9.3)
■ Carry out the cut in accordance with the
workpiece width (see 10.1.1 and 10.1.2).
10.2 Making cross cuts (Fig. 31,43)
■ Slide the cross stop (13) into one of the
grooves (32) in the table and adjust to the
required angle. (see 9.6). If you also want to
tilt the blade (5), use the groove (32) which
prevents your hand and the cross stop from
making contact with the blade guard.
■ If necessary, use the stop rail (e).
■ Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop (13).
■ Switch on the saw.
■ Push the cross stop (13) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
■ Important:
Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is
