Notes on using the machine
15.3.1
Selection of the saw blade
Apart from the material of the workpiece, the saw blade teeth play the most important role in
achieving precise cuts. The number of teeth, as well as their shape, arrangement and position
are associated with a specific function. To enhance the cutting quality, make sure that at least 2-
3 teeth cut through the workpiece at the same time. If only one tooth works, a poor working
surface results, the risk the vibrations and the noise exposure increases before setback increase:
adequate saw blade
Only work with well-sharpened saw blades.
•
Adjust the height of the saw blade so that the gear rim is reliably covered by the circular
saw blade guard (distance between saw blade guard and workpiece (maximum distance
of 5 mm).
Use the push stick at the end of cutting when the distance between the saw blade and
•
the ruler is less than 120 mm.
Make sure that the machine works without vibrations.
•
Cracked and deformed saw blades cannot be repaired. They must be sorted out
•
immediately as scrap and replaced by proper ones.
Feed the workpiece evenly, without thrusts and without taking it back, until the end of
•
cutting is reached.
15.3.2
Longitudinal cuts
When performing this operation, the following equipment shall be used for safe working:
Rip-fence
•
•
the guard of the saw blade
•
the riving knife
•
the insert in the table
HOLZMANN MASCHINEN GmbH www.holzmann-maschinen.at
The cross stop is secured laterally at the sliding table with a
stopper (1) against unintentional movement. With the screw (2)
the blocking can be raised or lowered.
The mitre fence can be inserted into the T-slots of the work
table on the right or left side of the saw blade.
By pivoting the mitre fence, cross cuts can be made at all angles
(see illustration on the left).
