use the stop rail as shown in Fig. 40.
8.3.2 Cutting width (Fig. 39)
The parallel stop (7) has to be used when
making longitudinal cuts in wooden workpieces.
The parallel stop (7) should be mounted on the
right-hand side of the saw blade (4).
The parallel stop (7) must be pushed into the
guide (17) from the outside.
Set the parallel stop (7) to the required
dimension and fix it in place with the eccentric
lever (9).
8.3.3. Setting the stop length (Fig. 40)
The stop rail (23) can be moved in longitudinal
direction in order to prevent the workpiece from
becoming jammed.
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes
up against an imaginary line that begins roughly
at the center of the blade and runs at an angle of
45° to the rear.
Set the required cutting width:
- Slacken the thumb screws (44) and push the
stop rail (23) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Re-tighten the thumb screws (44).
8.4. The slide (Fig. 41)
The slide is supported on the slide rail (20) and is
free moving.
The slide can be set from 0° to 45°.
To do this, open the clamping lever (30)
Set the desired angle on the slide scale (46) and
re-tighten the clamping lever (30).
The length of the stop rail (31) can be adjusted
by slackening both thumb screws (45).
Important!
Do not push the stop rail (31) too far toward the
blade.
The distance between the stop rail (31) and the
blade (4) should be approx. 2 cm.
8.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 37)
Slacken the setting screw and locking screw (28)
and set the desired angle on the angle scale (40)
Re-tighten the setting screw and locking screw.
The angle adjustment function has an adjustable
stop (39) at 0° und 45°. For angles greater than
45° or less than 0°, the angle stop can be swung
away.

9.0. Operation
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.
9.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 42)
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 guard hood (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
8.3.)
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 (4).
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 guard hood.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (5).
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1)
until the blade (4) 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.) .
9.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 43)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the
saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
9.1.3. Cutting extremely narrow workpieces (Fig.
44)
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 (Fig. 40).
