ENGLISH
− hoses must fit the outer diameter
of the dust extraction ports (blade
guard 36 mm; chipcase 100 mm);
− air flow volume
≥
460 m 3 /h;
− vacuum at dust extraction port of
saw
≥
530 Pa;
− air speed at dust extraction port
of saw
≥
20 m/ s.
The dust extraction ports are located at
the chipcase assembly and at the saw
blade guard.
Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
Operation without a dust collector is only
possible:
− outdoors;
− for short-term operation
(up to a maximum of 30 minutes);
− with dust respirator.
A
Caution!
If no dust collector is hooked
up the sliding plate on the chipcase
must be opened, otherwise chips and
saw dust will build up inside the chip-
case.
To open the sliding plate:
1. Loosen both nuts (150) on the
underside of the chipcase slightly.
2. Slide sliding plate (151) to the side.
3. Tighten nuts (150).
8.2 Setting the depth of cut
A
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in
the setting range can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!
The saw blade's cutting height needs to
be adapted the the height of the work-
piece: the blade guard shall rest with its
front edge on the workpiece.
• Set the depth of cut by turning the
handwheel (152) on the chipcase.

Note:
To compensate for possible play
in the blade height setting mechanism,
always raise the blade to the desired
position.
8.3 Setting the saw blade tilt
A
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in
the setting range can be caught by
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!!
The saw blade tilt is steplessly adjusta-
ble between 0
° and 45°.
1. Loosen the lock lever (154).
2. Using the handwheel (153), set the
desired blade tilt.
3. Tighten the lock lever to secure the
saw blade in the set position.
8.4 Sawing with the rip fence
3
Note:
When sawing with the rip fence
the long fence extrusion must be used.
1. Adopting the fence extrusion to the
workpiece height:
− Wide edge (155) =
for cutting thick stock
− Small edge (156) =
for cutting thin stock
2. The rip fence (157) is placed from
top onto the guide extrusion (158) at
the front of the saw and locked with
the lock lever (159).
A
Danger!
Always use the push stick if
the distance between saw blade and
rip fence is less than 120 mm.
3. Set the cutting height of the saw
blade. The blade guard must rest
with its front edge on the workpiece.
4. Set saw blade tilt and lock.
5. Start motor.
6. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
7. Switch machine off if no further cut-
ting is to be done immediately after-
wards.
