the metal bracket (a) must be secured to the feet
(18) with the screws (b), as shown in Fig. 23.
9.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 25)
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. 26)
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push block is supplied with the
saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
9.1.3. Cutting extremely narrow workpieces (Fig.
27)
Be sure to use a push block (d) 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 (see Fig. 23).
There is no push block supplied with the
saw! (Available from your specialist dealer)
Replace the push block without delay when it
becomes worn.

9.1.4. Making concealed cuts (Fig. 28)
Concealed cuts and groove cuts are possible thanks
to the removable saw blade guard and the infinitely
adjustable cutting height of 0-83mm.
Remove the blade guard (2) (see 7.4).
Set the splitter (5) for concealed cuts (see 7.5.2.)
Set the desired cutting depth (Fig. 8.2)
Mount the parallel stop (7) to the right of the
blade and set the desired width (8.3)
Push the workpiece into the blade (4). Make
sure that the workpiece lies solidly on the saw
table (1).
Select the cutting sequence so that the cut strips
fall away on the left side of the blade and
jamming between the stop and the blade is
prevented (risk of kick-back).
After you have finished cutting, refit the blade
guard (2) immediately.
9.1.5. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 29)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (7).
Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. (See 8.5.)
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height (see 8.3.1)
Carry out the cut in accordance with the
workpiece width (see 9.1.2 and 9.1.3.)
9.2. Making cross cuts (Fig. 22)
Set the cross stop (7) to the desired angle. (See
8.4.)
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop
(7).
Switch on the saw.
Push the cross stop (7) and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
Important:
Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be
cut off.
Push the cross stop (7) forward until the
workpiece is cut all the way through.
Switch off the saw again.
Do not remove the offcut until the blade has
stopped rotating.
10.0. Maintenance
Important! Pull out the power plug first.
Remove dust and dirt regularly from the
