Splitting Wedge Setting; Working Instructions - ATIKA TOPTRONIC Mode D'emploi

Splitting wedge setting

The splitting wedge (32) is set in the factory at the
correct measurement.
The splitting wedge is an important safety device as it
prevents the workpiece from recoiling
To guarantee the function of the splitting wedge, its distance
from the toothed wheel must be at least 3 mm and maximum 8
mm.
In order to avoid damage or injury, the guard hood
(39) can only be mounted if the split cotter pin has
been fully removed.
Set the cutting height
The cutting height can be infinitely adjusted between 0 –
93 mm with the aid of the crank (21).
Set the cutting height 5 mm higher than the material
thickness.
Adjust saw blade pitch
When the saw blade is running, ensure that there are no
workpieces or stoppers in the swivel zone before
adjusting. See Fig 3.
œ
Adjusting between 0° - 45°.
1. Release the clamp lever (58)
2. Turn the large star grip nut (18) until the required angle is
displayed in the scale (D) (0° - 45°)
3. Retighten the clamp lever to fix the angle set.
œ
Adjusting between -2° - 47°
The saw blade can be swivelled 2° beyond the two end
settings (-2° - 47°):
1. Undo the small star grip nut (87), push it upwards and then
retighten it.
2. Undo the clamp lever (58)
3. Turn the large star grip nut until the required angle is
displayed on the scale (-2° - 47°).
4. Retighten the clamp lever to fix the set angle.
To readjust the limit to 0° - 45°, push the star grip nut back
down and tighten it. To do this, the saw blade must be at
an angle of 0° - 45°.
Set the speed of the motor
To achieve a constant satisfactory cutting quality, you can
infinitely vary the speed of the saw blade between 1800
min – 4200 min .
-1 -1
Set the speed by pressing the
œ
panel (B). Each time the rotational speed is reached, the
corresponding LED lights up. E.g. diode No 2 if 2400
revolutions are reached.
By tipping or
œ
by 100 revolutions.

If you hold the or
œ
speed automatically changes to the maximum or the
minimum speed.
Adjusting the universal rip fence
The enclosed universal guide fence can be used as a
cross fence with the pull saw configuration and as a rip
fence with the table saw configuration.
Make sure that the fences are correctly adjusted. (See

"Working instructions")

Fastening to the saw table
œ
Push the stopper plate (45) onto one of the peripheral
clamping lip (E). Tighten firmly the wing nut screw (63A).
(fig. 1)
Moving fence (50) on the stopper plate
œ
Unscrew the wing nut screw (63B) and move the fence.
Retighten the wing nut screw. (fig. 5)
Moving the fence scale (41)
œ
Unscrew the wing nut (62) and move the fence scale.
Retighten the wing nut.
Angle adjustment
œ
Unscrew the wing nut screw (63C) and pivot the fence
scale. The common angle adjustments can be locked.
When working on very flat and narrow workpieces use the
lower guide are of the fence scale (41)
Working instructions
Before commencing work, ensure the following:
Protective guard, splitting wedge and saw blade ok?
Saw blade sharp?
Stoppers (fences) ready for use and pushstick to hand?
Workplace tidied?
You may not start to operate the machine until you have
read these operating instructions, observed all the
instructions given and installed the machine as described!
Also, note the following important points:
Place yourself outside of the area of danger
Place your hands flat on the workpiece with fingers closed.
Only guide the workpiece manually up to the front edge of
the protective hood.
Never remove loose splinters, chips, or similar by hand
Ensure that you always comply with the safety
instructions given on p.14 ff.
The saw can be used as a bench-top circular saw or
as a crosscut saw.
Use as a bench-top circular saw
