Using the parallel guide (Fig A1, E, J1, J2)
The parallel guide (2A) is equipped with a guide
extension (2B). The guide extension can be used in
two different ways, depending on the thickness of
the wood.
For thicker wood, the guide extension (2B) should
be mounted as shown in figure J1.
For thinner wood, the guide extension (2B) should
be mounted as shown in figure J2.
• Unlock the guide down by pushing the handle
upwards (Fig.E)
• Slightly loosen the wing nuts (2C)
• Remove the guide extension (2B) from the
parallel guide (2A) by sliding it away from the
parallel guide
• Turn the guide extension to the desired position
and slide it back onto the parallel guide
• Tighten the wing nuts (2C)
Working instructions
There are two types of sawing methods:
• Lengthwise sawing (Fig.H1)
Sawing the workpiece in the length of the wood
grain
• Cross-cutting or cutting off, use the mitre guide
(Fig.H2)
Sawing off the workpiece crosswise
For both sawing methods one of the fences
must be used. Therefor never saw without a
fence!
Attention! Before you start sawing, first check the
following:
1. Is the saw blade secured?
2. Are all the locking handles secured?
3. Is the fence parallel to the saw blade?
4. Is the protective cap working properly?
5. Are you wearing safety goggles?
6. Is the saw blade not rubbing against anything?
It is absolutely necessary to take these points
into consideration before you start work!
Lengthwise sawing
• Secure the fence to the correct measuring
position and remove the cut-off guide from the
bench carriage.
• Press the wood lightly towards the bench and
let it glide against the cut-off fence.

Remain at least 3 cm. from the front of the
saw blade before you switch on the motor.
The side of the wood which is against the
fence must be completely straight. Keep
your hands at least 10 cm away from the
saw track to be followed.
• Switch on the motor and wait until the saw
blade has reached the maximum number of
revolutions before you start sawing.
• While you press the wood against the bench
and the fence, you can carefully push the wood
through the saw blade without forcing it.
• Never pull the workpiece backwards. If neces-
sary, switch off the motor first without altering
the position of the workpiece.
Lengthwise sawing with a (vertical) mitre
This method is practically the same, except that the
saw blade is placed at the angle required.
With this type of method the fence may only
be along the righthand side of the
sawblade.
Lengthwise sawing of narrow workpieces
Assume that this process is extremely
dangerous.
Take all the necessary safety measures and conti-
nually push the workpiece through (until behind the
saw blade) using a push stick instead of by hand.
Crosswise sawing
• Remove the fence and apply the cross-cut
fence in the righthand carriage.
• Adjust the height of the saw blade (see length-
wise sawing).
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut fen-
ce and keep at least 2,5 cm distance from the
front of the saw blade.
• Switch on the motor and wait until the maxi-
mum number of revolutions has been reached.
• Press the workpiece against the fence and the
bench. Carefully push the wood through the
saw blade. Continue until behind the saw blade.
Then switch off the motor and keep this positi-
on until the saw blade has stopped completely
before you remove the wood.
• Never pull the wood back. If necessary, switch
the motor off and keep the position until the
saw blade has stopped completely.
