11.7 Using the sliding carrier plate (fig. 31)
1.
To use the sliding carrier plate (21), pull the wing
nut (21a) down and turn it 90°.
2.
Release the wing nut (21a) again so that it engag-
es again.
3.
The sliding carrier plate (21) is unlocked and you
can freely move it forwards and backwards.
4.
To lock the sliding carrier plate (21), bring it back to
its starting position.
5.
Pull the wing nut (21a) down and turn it 90° again.
6.
Release it so that it engages again.
7.
The sliding carrier plate (21) is locked.
12. Sawing
m WARNING
Danger of injury due to incorrect mounting
-
Check that the product is properly assembled.
-
Check the saw blade for mobility and the moving
parts for ease of movement.
ATTENTION
After switching on the saw, you must wait until the saw
blade (1) has reached its maximum speed before mak-
ing the cut.
12.1 Working instructions
m WARNING
Risk of injury!
Improper handling may result in serious injury.
-
Observe and follow the safety and working in-
structions.
• When making longitudinal cuts, do not stand in front
of the circular table saw, but position yourself at an
angle to the cut.
• Always use the parallel stop for angled cuts.
• Use a push stick or wooden push block in order to
guide the workpiece past the saw blade. Replace a
damaged or worn push stick.
• Secure larger workpieces against tipping after the
cutting process. To do so, use for example a reel-
off stand.
• After the circular table saw has been switched on,
wait until the saw blade has reached full speed, be-
fore starting the cutting process.
• Only operate the table saw with an extraction system.
• After every new setting, we recommend performing
a test cut, in order to check the dimensional settings.
• Check and clean the extraction channels at regular
intervals.
12.2 Carrying out longitudinal cuts (fig. 32)
With a longitudinal cut, you cut a workpiece in its lon-
gitudinal direction. You must press one edge of the
workpiece against the parallel stop (8) and keep it there
while the flat side lies on the saw table (5)
1.
Adjust the parallel stop (8) according to the height
of the workpiece and the required width (see 11.4).
2.
When sawing, the saw blade guard (2) is pushed
up and away from the workpiece.
3.
Switch on the extraction system and then the cir-
cular table saw.
4.
Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your
fingers closed and slide it along the parallel stop
(8) into the saw blade (1).
5.
Guide the workpiece laterally by holding it tight
with the left hand only up to the front edge of the
saw blade guard (2).
6.
Always slide the workpiece to the end of the riving
knife (3) using the push stick (10).
12.2.1 Carrying out angled cuts (fig. 33)
Angled cuts are always carried out using the parallel
stop (8). The parallel stop (8) must always be fitted to
the right of the saw blade (1) (not shown).
Otherwise, workpieces may become jammed between
the parallel stop (8) and the saw blade (1) during saw-
ing, and be ejected at speed.
1.
Set the saw blade (1) to the required angle (see
11.3).
2.
Adjust the parallel stop (8) according to the width
and height of the workpiece (see 11.4).
3.
Lower the saw blade guard (2) onto the saw table
(5).
4.
Make the cut according to the workpiece width
(see 12.2).
12.3 Carrying out cross cuts (fig. 34)
m WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating parts and sharp edges
-
Hold the workpiece firmly.
-
Push the workpiece with the transverse stop until
it is completely cut through.
1.
Set the transverse stop (19) as required (see
11.5.1). If the saw blade (1) is also inclined, push
the transverse stop (19) into the right guide groove.
This will prevent your hand and the transverse stop
(19) from coming into contact with the saw blade
guard (2).
