OPERATING THE MACHINE
RIPPING
SAFETY
When ripping solid wood, put the saw-blade
as high as possible. The sub-fence max. 10
mm past the point where the blade cuts the
wood at full height.
Adjusting the sub-fence properly prevents
the return shock of the wood or a part of it.
Use a push stick when cutting small wood.
Adjusting the riving knife (fig. 6).
1 Adjust the rip fence with the sub-fence at
the desired measure.
2 Check if the saw-blade can rotate freely.
3 Switch on the motor.
4 After cutting switch off the motor
immediately.
5 Remove the material after the saw-blade
has stopped.
Notice: If the saw-blade stops because of
clamping of the wood, switch off the motor.
Hold the piece of wood tightly!
Notice: Never stand in the line of the saw-
blade. In case of a return shock you might
get hit.
