8.3 Operation
A
Danger!
•
Before starting work, check to
see that the following are in
proper working order:
− riving knife;
− side guard;
− blade guard
− feeding aids (push stick or push
block with handle).
•
Use personal protection gear.
− dust respirator;
− hearing protection;
− safety goggles.
•
Assume proper operating posi-
tion:
26
− at the front of the saw;
− in front of the saw;
− to the left of the line of cut;
− when working with two per-
49
sons, the other person must
remain at an adequate distance
to the saw.
•
If the type of work requires, use
the following:
− work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off
the table on completion of the
cut;
− dust collector.
•
Always hold the work piece down
on the table and do not jam it.
•
Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the work piece
against its side. Risk of injury if
the saw blade is blocked.
Setting the depth of cut
A
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in
the setting range can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set depth of
cut only with saw blade at standstill!
The cutting height of the saw blade must
be adapted to the work piece height: The
underside of the blade guard's front
edge must rest on the work piece. In
order to be able to set the maximum cut-
ting depth the riving knife must be set
into the upper position.
3
Note:
The cutting height is adjusted
with the height adjustment of the upper
saw table.
1. Loosen the lock screws of the depth
of cut adjustment.
A
Danger!
When adjusting the depth of
cut the upper saw table may pitch
down all of a sudden! Hold the hand-
wheel (50) as long as the lock nut
(51) of the handwheel is not tightened
against the saw blade cover (52) !
2. Loosen the lock nut (51) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
3. Set the depth of cut with the hand-
wheel (50).
4. Fix lock screw against table guide
(52) with lock nut.
5. Tighten the lock screws of the depth
of cut adjustment.

Note:
To compensate for possible play
in the depth of cut setting mechanism, it
is recommended that you always raise
the upper saw table into the desired
position.
Sawing
A
Danger!
Always use a push stick if dis-
tance between saw blade and rip
fence is less than 120 mm.
1. Set the depth of cut. The blade
guard must rest with its front edge
on the work piece.
2. If necessary install the rip fence with
the lock screw pointing towards you,
the operator.
3. Set the rip fence to the desired cut-
ting width. Check on both scales of
the upper saw table that the rip
fence is parallel with the saw blade.
3
Note:
The rip fence is best moved side-
ways when held at the rear and guided
along the rear edge of the table.
4. Start saw.
5. Push the work piece in a steady
motion towards the rear and cut in a
single pass.
6. Turn machine OFF if no further cut-
ting will be done immediately after-
wards.
Grooving
When grooving no parting cut is made,
the work piece is cut to a certain depth
only.
