1 Trimming attachment
The trimming attachment consists of a base support
(1.1) and a stop ruler with the following main parts:
profile rail (1.4),
extending end piece (1.3)
with tape measure (1.2),
adjustable intermediary piece (1.10),
adjustable stop (1.5),
tape measure clamp (1.7)
and workpiece support (1.6).
2 Assembly of the stop ruler
2.1 Fastening to mitre fence (Fig. 1)
The stop ruler is fastened to the mitre fence (1.8) of
your BASIS 1 A.
Remove the profile rail of the BASIS 1 A from the
mitre fence and replace with the profile rail (1.4) of
the stop ruler.
Insert the tape measure with holder (1.12) into the
end piece and pull the tape measure through the
upper groove (1.13) of the end piece, intermediary
piece and profile rail.
2.2 Adjusting the stop ruler (Fig. 2)
To prevent the tape measure from making contact
with the saw blade, this starts at 30 mm.
The gap between the front edge of the profile rail
and the rim of the saw blade thus has to be adjusted
to 30 mm as follows: pull the tape measure (2.1)
30 mm over the end of the profile rail (2.2) and fix
with the tape measure clamp (2.3).
Set the mitre fence to a right-angled cut and push
the profile rail until the end of the tape measure
touches the sides of the saw blade cutting edges
(2.4).
Clamp the profile rail tight with the rotary knob (2.5)
and lock the tape measure so that its end is flush
with the front edge of the profile rail.
The tape measure now shows the exact gap to the
saw blade.
2.3 Fastening the workpiece support (Fig. 3)
The workpiece support is used to support longer
workpieces.
Screw the workpiece support to the lower groove
of the profile rail by its slit (3.1) using the rotary
knob (3.2) and the feather key (3.3) so that the two
cams (3.5) engage in the groove.
2.4 Moving the stop ruler
Loosen the rotary knob (1.9) to extend and retract
the end piece (1.3).
The maximum cutting range is 2050 mm.
3 Assembly of the base support (Fig. 4)
The base support supports the stop ruler.
To assemble release the two rotary knobs (4.1) on
the workpiece support (4.8) until the two additional
legs (4.3) can be inserted into the pipe clamp (4.4).
Insert the additional legs until the base support is
the same height as your BASIS 1 A and then tighten
the additional legs with the rotary knobs (4.1).
Screw the fastening plate to the lower groove of the
stop ruler by its slit (4.5) using the rotary knob (4.2)
and the feather key (4.7) so that the two cams (4.6)
engage in the groove.
4 Adjustable stop (Fig. 5, Order No. 488 560)
4.1 Fitting the adjustable stop
Open the clamp for the adjustable stop with the
rotary knob (5.1) until the clamping piece (5.5) can
be inserted into the upper groove (3.4) of the profile
rail or the adjustable intermediary piece.
Fix the adjustable stop by tightening the rotary knob.
4.2 Setting the adjustable stop
The adjustable stop can be set with no play in the
groove with the two screws (5.6).
Fit the adjustable stop and tighten the two screws
until this can be moved with no play, but still easily,
in the groove.
4.3 Moving the stop plate
You can mount the stop plate (5.3) on the other
side of the adjustable stop if required with the screw
(5.4).
The adjustable stop can be fitted to the profile rail
of the BASIS 1 A’s mitre fence.
The stop plate (5.3) must be fastened to the
adjustable stop with the screw (5.4) through the
bore hole (5.2).
Make sure that the nut (5.7) with washer is always
on the side opposite the stop plate.
5 Fitting on right side
When you purchase the unit, the trimming attachment
is assembled so that it can be fitted on the left side
of your BASIS 1 A.
If you wish to fit it on the right side, it can be
dismantled by releasing the screw (1.11) and
removing the rotary knob (1.9) for laterally inverted
installation.
There are bore holes for the screw (1.10) and rotary
knob (1.9) on both ends of the adjustable stop
(1.4) and end piece (1.3) for this purpose.
