Remove blade guard and set riving knife

as decribed in paragraph 5.6 of this

manual. Check depth of cut directly on the

blade with tape or stick measure. Set rip

fence to required width and make first cut.

The sequence of cuts is important: when

making the second cut the waste must be

on the left side of the blade. If on to the

right of the blade, the waste may jam

between fence and blade and kicked back

against you (danger of personal injury).

11.2 Rabetting and Grooving

11.5 Crosscuts

Perform all crosscutting operations with the mitre fence supplied with this

machine or with a sliding carriage available as optional accessory.

Install fence extrusion with the small edge facing the blade and position so that

its front end just reaches the saw blade. With very small cutoffs use a deflector

board as described in paragraph 8 to keep the cutoffs from being picked up by

the rising teeth of the saw blade.

11.4 Ripping with the Auxiliary Fence

Have riving knife and blade guard installed as described in paragraph 5.5.

The auxiliary fence is used for

ripping stock that tends to open or

close behind the blade.

Loosen both wing nuts holding the

rip fence extrusion, remove the rip

fence extrusion and install it with

the small edge facing the blade. In

this position it serves as an auxiliary

fence. The wide edge must rest on

the table. Position the fence ex-

trusion to that its front end reaches

to approx. the centre of the saw

blade.

Always use the auxiliary fence when

ripping 45° bevels, guiding the work along

the small edge of the fence extrusion.

See also paragraph 5.3.

Remove the riving knife and tighten the

gusset plate.

With set-in work the cut starts somewhere

within the board. To do this work safely

(danger of kickback) backstops are re-

quired. These can simply be wooden

blocks clamped to the saw table or, for

longer workpieces, a complete jig or anti-

kickback fence may be required, which is

firmly attached to the saw table.

Set rip fence as required. Place work-

piece with yout right hand against the

stop, the left hands holds the workpiece

against the fence and pushes it down into

the blade.

Note: Mark area where blade will cut

through on top of workpiece. Keep hands

at at least 150 mm distance from blade.
