Sawing grooves
The continuously adjustable groove depth limit
can be used to individually define groove areas
using the total cutting depth. Grooving or facing
is therefore possible at any height for any work
piece size.
The round shape of the saw blade
means that, when grooving, a slight
cutting curve upwards is required.
For grooving that is precisely horizon
tal, a tap block must be clamped be
tween the workpiece and the stop rul
er so that a clearance of 4 cm can be
guaranteed.
► Move the machine into the working position.
Only turn down the lever for the
groove depth limit [1-4] if the saw
unit is in the upper position (= work
ing position).
► Pull the lever for the groove depth lim
it [1-4] all the way to the front.
The saw unit can now be pushed down only
as far as the preset cutting depth.
► Turn the lever for the groove depth limit to
set the required depth (turn to the left = in
crease the groove depth, turn to the right =
decrease the groove depth)
Push down the saw unit as a trial run to check
whether the groove depth limit is set to the re
quired groove depth.

Sawing chips and small parts that get
caught up in the sawing channel can be
gently pulled out through the open

► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
