6. Before starting the machine
Do not start the machine until you have made
yourself familiar with these operating
instructions and all the safety instructions. If
you have no experience in handling these
machines, you should obtain assistance from
an experienced person.
Unpack the saw and check it for damage which
may have occurred in transit.
The machine may only be used outdoors. The
machine must be placed on a horizontal, even
base and be firmly anchored to the ground using
the mounting holes (13) in the machine foot. The
ground around the machine must be clear of
waste, slippery areas and stumbling blocks.
All covers and safety equipment must be properly
installed and the saw blade must run freely.
Check the entire machine and al cables for any
signs of transport damage.
Check that the saw blade is secured, not dirty,
undamaged and sharp. Sharpen or replace blunt
saw blades.
Check that all the screw connections are tight.
Check the splitter inserts (18) for signs of wear
and replace them if necessary.
The feed cradle (6) must be returned to its original
position automatically by the spring (10).
Check the machine for any foreign bodies that
may be catapulted out of it.
The power source must be protected by an RCCB
with a fault current of 30 mA.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the
same as your supply voltage before you connect
the machine to the power supply.
Important: It is essential that you check the
direction in which the motor (1) turns. To do this,
switch the motor on and off briefly. The saw blade
must turn clockwise when viewed from the left-
hand side (see directional arrow on the saw
blade). If this is not the case the direction of
rotation must be corrected using the phase
converter on the connection plug. To do this, turn
the phase converter (15) in the connection plug
through 180° using a screwdriver. (see Fig. 4)
Important: It is essential that other persons
remain a safe distance from the saw whilst it is
operating.
Do not attempt to saw more than one piece of
wood or bundles of wood at the same time – this
poses a serious risk of injury. Place bent pieces of
wood in the feed carried so that the side that is
bent outwards faces the saw blade.
The feed carriage (6) for the wood is fitted with
hooks (19) that prevent the wood from turning.

Before you press the ON/OFF switch (7), make
sure that the saw blade (4) is fitted correctly and
that the machine's moving parts run smoothly.
Before using the saw you must adjust the transit
lock. To do this, remove the screw (14) and swing
the transit lock (11) to the outside of the saw until
the hole (a) is over the screw thread and then
secure it with the screw (14). The transit lock hook
can now be used as a support foot (Fig. 3), which
prevents the feed carriage pivoting away to the
outside with the wood.
7. Operating
7.1 Sawing (Fig. 5, 7)
Place the wood in the feed carriage.
Press the green button (16) to switch on the saw.
Wait until it reaches full speed.
Take hold of the carriage with both hands on the
handle (8) and move it towards the saw blade (4).
Pressing the carriage releases the saw blade from
the saw blade cover (3).
Do not apply so much pressure to the feed
carriage that the motor speed falls.
After the cut has been completed return the
carriage completely to its initial position.
Remove the saw wood from the carriage.
To turn the saw off again, press the red button "0"
(17). Important: Never switch on the machine
again whilst it is slowing down.
Note: If the wood cannot be sawn completely in a
single cut, turn it over (reversing cut). To do this
return the feed carriage to its initial position, turn
the wood along the cut and saw through it again.
Important: If the saw blade (4) does not reach a
standstill after a maximum of 10 seconds, have
the switch checked by an authorized electrician
and replaced if necessary.
Pull the power plug immediately after finishing
work. Never leave the machine until you have
pulled the plug and secured the machine to
prevent its unauthorized use.
7.2. Changing the saw blade (Fig. 8-14)
Important: Pull the power plug!
Allow the saw blade to cool before you change it.
Do not use inflammable liquids to clean the saw
blade.
Always wear gloves when handling saw blades.
Risk of injury!
Remove the screw (20) from the cover plate (21)
and pull the cover plate downwards.
Remove the split pin (22) and washer (23) from
the rear end of the guide tube on the return spring
(10) and pull the entire feed carriage (6)
