4. Operation

Working instructions

There are two types of sawing methods:

• Lengthwise sawing
Sawing the workpiece in the length of the wood grain.
• Cross-cutting or cutting off Sawing off the workpiece crosswise.

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!

Lengthwise sawing

• Secure the fence to the correct measuring position and remove the cut-off guide from the bench carriage.
• Turn the saw blade approximately 2 mm higher than the total thickness of the wood to be sawn.
• Press the wood lightly towards the bench and let it glide against the cut-off fence.

Remain at least 3 cm. from the front of the saw blade before you switch on the engine. The side of the wood which is against the fence must be completely straight. Keep your hands at least 10 cm away from the saw track to be followed.

• Switch on the engine and wait until the saw blade has reached the maximum number of revolutions before you start sawing.
• While you press the wood against the bench and the fence, you can carefully push the wood through the saw blade without forcing it.
• Never pull the workpiece backwards. If necessary, switch off the engine first without altering the position of the workpiece.

Lengthwise sawing with a (vertical) mitre

This method is practically the same, except that the saw blade is placed at the angle required.

With this type of method the fence may only be along the righthand side of the sawblade.

Lengthwise sawing of narrow workpieces

Assume that this process is extremely dangerous.

Take all the necessary safety measures and continually push the workpiece through (until

behind the saw blade) using a synthetic aid instead of by hand.

Crosswise sawing

• Remove the fence and apply the cross-cut fence in the righthand carriage.
• Adjust the height of the saw blade (see lengthwise sawing).
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut fence and keep at least 2,5 cm distance from the front of the saw blade.
• Switch on the engine and wait until the maximum number of revolutions has been reached.
• Press the workpiece against the fence and the bench. Carefully push the wood through the saw blade. Continue until behind the saw blade. Then switch off the engine and keep this position until the saw blade has stopped completely before you remove the wood.
• Never pull the wood back. If necessary, switch the engine off and keep the position until the saw blade has stopped completely.

Crosswise sawing with a vertical mitre

This method is practically the same, except that the saw blade is placed in the angle required.

Only place the cross-cut fence on the righthand side of the saw blade. Never saw too small pieces of wood. Never use your hands to carry out difficult operations.

Crosswise sawing with a horizontal mitre

With this method the cross-cut fence must be secured at the angle required. Keep the workpiece pressed firmly against the cross-cut fence and the bench before you start cutting off.

5. Maintenance

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the motor.

These machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.
