• To guarantee safe clamping of the workpieces
they must have a minimum length of 200 mm.
• Reinforce very thin workpieces (19B.2) by
sawing them together with an additional strip
(19B.1). Very thin workpieces can wobble or
break when being cut.
Procedure
– Place the workpiece on the saw table and push
it against the stop ruler.
– Release the lever (19A.1) for the workpiece
clamp.
– Turn the workpiece clamp until the holding rod
(19A.2) is over the workpiece.
– Lower the holding clamp onto the workpiece.
– Close the clamping lever (19A.1).

Speed control

20.1
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly
between 1400 and 3400 rpm using the adjusting
wheel (20.1). This enables you to optimise the cut-
ting speed to suit the respective material.

Cutting without guiding action

– Make the required adjustments to the ma-
chine.
19A.1
– Secure the workpiece.
– Slide the saw unit backwards up to the fence
(towards the workpiece stop) and close the ro-
19A.2
tary knob (1.5) for clamping the guide fi xture,
or secure the saw unit in the special cutting
position.
– Switch on the machine.
– Hold the saw unit by the handle (1.1), guide
slowly downwards and cut through the work-
piece at an even rate of advance.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw
blade stops completely.
– Swivel the saw unit upwards again.

Cutting with guiding action

– Make the required adjustments to the ma-
chine.
– Secure the workpiece.
– Draw the saw unit forwards along the guide
rods.
– Switch on the machine.
– Hold the saw unit by the handle (1.1) and guide
slowly downwards.
– Push the saw unit backwards at an even rate of
advance and cut the workpiece.
– Switch off the machine.
– Wait until the saw blade stops completely and
then swivel the saw unit upwards.
You can use the bevel to record any angle (e.g. be-
tween two walls) and transfer the dissecting angle
to the circular cross-cut saw.
