A suction adapter set for connecting a

and to the suction adapter is available as an
accessory.
8.1.1 Making longitudinal cuts
(Figure 19)
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 fl at 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 7.3.)
•
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 gu-ard 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.).
8.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces
(Fig. 20)
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
im-mediately.
•
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.
•
There is no push block supplied with the saw!
(Available from your specialist dealer). Replace
the push block without delay when it becomes
worn.
8.1.4. Making bevel cuts
(Fig. 14/22)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the
parallel stop
(7)
.
•
Set the blade
(4)
to the desired angle.
(See
7.5.)
•
Set the parallel stop
(7)
in accordance with the
workpiece width and height
(see 7.3.1)
•
Carry out the cut in accordance with the
work-piece width
(see 8.1.1., 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.)
8.1.5. Making cross cuts
(Fig. 23)
•
Slide the cross stop
(21)
into one of the
grooves
(21)
in the table and adjust to the
required angle.
(See 7.4.)
If you also want to tilt
the blade
(4)
, use the groove
(21)
which
prevents your hand and the cross stop from
making contact with the blade guard.
•
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross
stop
(14)
.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Push the cross stop
(14)
and the workpiece
toward the blade in order to make the cut.
•
Warning!
Always hold the guided part of the workpiece.
Never hold the part which is to be cut off.
•
Push the cross stop
(14)
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.
