Bench mounting (fi g. A1)
• Holes (2) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting.
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different
sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both.
Always mount your saw fi rmly to prevent movement. To enhance the
portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker
plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved
to other job sites and reclamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the
mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood.
The plywood must sit fl ush on the work support. When clamping the
saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point
will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is
not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface,
place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is fi rm
on the mounting surface.
WARNING: The mounting surface must have a 350 x 500
mm opening to allow dust to escape.
Rail lock adjustment (fi g. A1 & H)
The rail lock has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as
follows:
• Lock the lock lever (12) by pushing it down (fi g. A1).
• Adjust the nut (35) on the underside of your saw until the gap
between the Belleville washers (36) closes (fi g. H).
• Once the Belleville washers are almost touching, loosen the nut (35)
half a turn.
Bevel stop and pointer adjustment (fi g. K1 & K2)
• Raise the blade to its maximum by rotating the blade height
adjustment wheel (10) clockwise (fi g. K1).
• Unlock the bevel lock lever (11) by pushing it up and to the right.
• Loosen the bevel stop screw (37).
• Place a set square (38) on the table and up against the blade (39)
(fi g. K2).
• Adjust the bevel angle using the bevel lock lever (11) until the blade
is fl at against the square.
• Tighten the bevel lock lever (11).
• Turn the bevel stop cam (40) until it fi rmly contacts the bearing block
(fi g. K1).
• Check the bevel angle scale. If adjustment is required, loosen the
pointer screw (41) and set the pointer to 0°.
• Tighten the pointer screw (41).
• Repeat the procedure at 45° for the 45° bevel stop, but do not adjust
the pointer.
Mitre gauge adjustment (fi g. A3 & L)
Your mitre gauge (19) is equipped with adjustable stops at 90° and 45°.
• To adjust these stops, loosen the lock nuts (42) and set the adjusting
screws (43) as required.
Adjusting the fence parallel to the blade (fi g. A1 & D)
The fence has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as
follows:
• Unlock the rail lock lever (12).
• Remove the upper blade guard (5).
• Locate the rear pinion bearing and loosen the two hex bolts (44) just
enough to allow side-to-side movement.
• Move the fence over until it touches the side of the blade.
• Adjust the fence parallel to the blade.
• Tighten the hex bolts.
• Lock the rail lock lever and check that the fence is parallel to the blade.
WARNING: If there is not enough travel in the pinion bearing
assembly, take the unit to an authorized D
agent.
Fine adjustment knob (fi g. D)
The fi ne adjustment knob is factory adjusted.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the saw upside down and locate the front pinion bearing.
• Using a narrow blade screwdriver, access the screw through the slot
(45).
• Loosen the screw by turning counterclockwise until the head touches
the inside of the bearing box.
• Tighten the screw 1/2 of a turn.
• Repeat this procedure for the rear pinion bearing.
OPERATION
Instructions for use
WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy ergonomic conditions
in terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall
be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that
allow handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively
worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must
not exceed that of the saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected
to the electrical power source.
• Never use your saw for freehand cuts!
• Do not saw warped, bowed or cupped workpieces. There must be at
least one straight, smooth side to go against the rip fence or mitre fence.
• Always support long workpieces to prevent kickback.
• Do not remove any cut-offs from the blade area while the blade is
running.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Switching on and off (fi g. A1)
The on/off switch of your saw bench offers multiple advantages:
- no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for any reason,
the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- extra safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate can be locked by
passing a padlock through the centre hasp. The plate also serves as
an "easy to locate" emergency stop button as pressure on the front
of the plate will depress the stop button.
• To switch the machine on, press the green start button.
• To switch the machine off, press the red stop button.
Basic saw cuts
Ripping (fi g. A1, A2, M1 & M2)
WARNING: Sharp edges.
• Set the blade to 0°.
• Lock the rip fence (7) (fi g. A1).
