2. Setting for the cut-out
Set the cutting depth of the saw so
that the saw blade will cut 18 mm into
the board.
Fit a 1 m straight strip of wood to the
side stop of the saw so that the work
piece will come in the area where the
saw blade makes a horizontal cut.
This is to avoid getting a cut-out with
a rounded side. The wood strip should
be approx. 50 mm wide. Check the
angle of the cut after the strip is fitted.
Fasten the strip with two screws on
each side of the saw.
Measure the thickness of the bottom
boards, in this case 30 mm. Fit a stop
board on the left-hand side, about 1
m from the saw blade, so that you will
get the first cut 80 mm from the bottom
edge of the side board.
Fit another stop board on the right-
hand side of the saw blade, so that
you will get a cut 30 mm (the thickness
of the bottom) from the first cut.
TIP: Make the cut-out a little bit too
narrow at the start. Gently knock on
the stops until one piece of the bottom
boards fits in the cut-out. When you
are satisfied, fasten the stops tightly
with wood screws.
Sawing method
for the cut-out
Protective glasses MUST be used.
Turn the boards so that ít lies properly
against the wood strip, and have the
future inside facing upwards. The
rounded part of the moulding should
be turned inwards when fitted onto
the bottom, and the bevel should
be turned outwards when using the
knives 95038/95039.
First, make the two outer cuts. Make
sure that the side board contacts
the stop boards, and that there is
no sawdust or splinters between.
Regularly check the result by testing
the cut-out on a bottom board.
Cut out the wood between the outer
cuts by moving the side board a couple
of millimetres for each cut. Make sure
that the bottom gets a close fit in the
cut-out or, at least, that the play is no
more than 0.5 mm.
A cut-out that is difficult to fit on the
bottom should be widened. Side
boards with too much play should be
discarded.
TIP: It is easy to turn a board the wrong
way by accident. Screw a piece of a
moulded side board to your sawing
template so that you can check that
you have placed the side board in the
correct direction.
TIP: Be careful so that you do not
bend the saw head in any direction
when taking the outer cuts.
