OPERATION
There are two types of sawing methods:
1.Lengthwise sawing : Sawing the workpiece in the length of the wood grain.
2.Cross-cutting or cutting off : Sawing off the workpiece crosswise.
3. If it concerns a panel, we do not usually distinguish between the wood grain, but we name the method
where we saw off a part of the width of the panel (lengthwise sawing) and when we cut off the length
(cross-cutting or cutting-off).
For both sawing methods one of the fences must be used. Therefor never saw without a fence!
Attention! Before you start sawing, first check the following:
1. Is the saw blade secured?
2. Are all the locking handles secured?
3. Is the fence parallel to the saw blade?
4. Is the protective cap working properly?
5. Are you wearing safety goggles?
6. Is the saw blade not rubbing against anything?
It is absolutely necessary to take these points into consideration before you start work!
