Sawing curved workpieces
Curved workpieces must be placed against the
fence and secured with the clamp (1) before
sawing, as shown in the diagram. Make sure
to position the workpiece correctly and do not
attempt to saw it without the support of the
fence – risk of the blade getting stuck, and risk
of serious personal injury.

Groove sawing
WARNING!
DO NOT USE DADO BLADES. Only use saw
blades of the standard type.
1. Mark out the width and depth of the cut on
the workpiece and put the workpiece on
the saw table. Align the blade to the line.
2. Secure the workpiece on the saw table.
3. Move down the saw head so that the
blade touches the marked line on top of
the workpiece.
4. Hold the top arm in this position and turn
the depth setting screw (2) until the end
rests on the stop plate (1). See Adjusting
the sawing depth .
FIG. 32
5. Saw two parallel lines as shown in the
diagram.
Supporting the workpiece
Support long workpieces with roller supports,
or the equivalent. Keep the hand that supports
the workpiece at least 17 cm from the blade,
outside the marked area. The support should
be adjusted so that the workpiece is flush with
the saw table during the sawing.
FIG. 33
NOTE:
When the product is mounted on a level
surface the saw table is 67 mm over the
surface.
Extra fence of wood
If several small pieces (up to 25 mm) are sawn
after each other the blade can catch the pieces
and throw them off, which can cause serious
personal injury and/or material damage.
To reduce the risk of this the product can be
provided with an extra fence of wood. There
are holes on the fence to mount extra fences.
