Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the rating label, match with your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
6.1

Setting the splitting wedge

The splitting wedge (27) prevents the wood from
closing behind the saw disc and jamming it while the
machine is in operation. This could otherwise lead
to recoiling.
The splitting wedge must be set in such a way
that the distance between its inner curve and
the toothed ring on the saw disc is no greater than 5
mm. Set the splitting wedge so that the lowest point
of the saw disc does not protrude by more than 5
mm below the bottom edge of the splitting wedge.
See illustration on page 3.
To adjust, loosen the hex screw (29), set the right
distances to the saw disc and tighten the hex screw
again.
6.2

Setting the depth of cut

Loosen the locking screw (19). Lift or lower the
motor unit up against the guide plate (4). Read the
depth of cut which has been set from the scale (21).
Tighten the locking screw (19) again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw disc
juts out under the workpiece. See figure on page 2.
The clamping force of the locking screw (19) is
adjustable. To adjust it, undo the lever screw.
Take off the lever and put it on offset in counter-
clockwise direction. Fasten with the screw. Ensure
that cutting depth adjustment moves freely when
the lever is open.
6.3

Slanting the saw disc for diagonal cuts

Loosen the locking screw (6). Tilt the motor unit
against the guide plate (4). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (5). Retighten the
locking screws (6).
