8.1c Non-through cuts
If the guard has been removed, the riving knife
can be adjusted by firmly pulling by two locking
positions. The riving knife is used in the upper
locking position for all applications, except for
non-through cuts.
Before starting work
- Remove the upper guard [6-4a].
- Move the riving knife [7-1] into the lower locking
position by pushing it down firmly.
Creating non-through cuts
When executing non-through cuts, pay particular
attention that the tool is guided precisely. To do
this, push the workpiece down firmly onto the
table. Select the cutting sequence so that the
workpiece side already sawed out is not the fence
side (risk of kickback).
Rabbeting
- Set the cutting depth and fence of the first side
of the rebate.
- Carry out the first saw cut of the rebate by gui-
ding the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms
away from the saw blade's centre line.
- Use the push stick [2-4] to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
- Turn the workpiece.
- Set the cutting depth and fence of the second
side of the rebate.
- Make the second saw cut of the rebate.
- Use the push stick [2-4] to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
Rabbeting on workpieces ≤ 12 mm with a circular
trimming saw (with the saw blade locked)
- Use the fence as a cross-cutting fence (fig. 3).
- Observe the manufacturer's instructions for
cross cuts (see section 8.2a).
NEVER use the fence as a rip fence when
rabbeting on the short side.
Grooving
- Adjust the cutting depth on the saw blade.
- Use the fence as a guide.
- Guide the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms
away from the saw blade's centre line.
- Use the push stick [2-4] to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
- Repeat the process until the required grooving
depth is achieved.
After finishing work
- After executing the non-through cuts, move the
riving knife [7-1] back into the upper position
and attach the guard [6-4a].
Complicated concealed cut process
- e.g. plunge saws, resawing, dadoing, profile
routing and fluting are not permitted.
8.1d Featherboard
NOTE
Use a featherboard for non-through cuts. Fit the
featherboard on the fence and the table so that the
featherboard pushes the workpiece down firmly
onto the plate during cutting. Featherboards are
not included with the delivery.
8.1e Longitudinal cuts at an angle
- Only use the left fence when making longitudinal
cuts at an angle in material with an edge length
of ≤ 150 mm. This creates more space between
the fence and the saw blade.
8.2 Using the machine as a circular trim-
ming saw
8.2a Cross cuts
- Place the saw blade in the back table position,
see section 5.4 b).
- Use the preset profile setting rail as a crosswise
or angle ruler (fig. 3) to position the workpiece
and hold it in place. Fastening clamps (not
included in delivery) can be inserted into the
grooves [3-8] to secure the workpiece. Carry
out the saw cut by swivelling the handle [3-9]
downwards and using it to pull the saw unit
forwards.
- After completing the cut, move the saw unit right
back to its starting position before removing the
workpiece from the preset profile setting rail.
