AWARNING

xUse eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles. If you are producing metal filings or wood chips, wear a full face shield.

xUse ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved ear protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs.

xUse respiratory protection when working around metal, wood, especially treated wood, chemi- cal dusts or mists. Always wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator or other respiratory protection in accordance with current OSHA, MSHA and NIOSH regulations.

xWear head protection if required by your type of work or by regu- lations applying to the job site.

xWear protective, electrically non- conductive clothes and non-skid foot wear.

xSafeguard your work piece and secure it against unintended movement and slipping during cutting. Use support for long work pieces which would other- wise fall off the machine’s rotat- ing table after the cut. Use the auxiliary fence for cutting small pieces.

xIf possible, work with a suitable dust collector connected to the saw. The dust collector must comply with the data stated in chapter 15, entitled "Technical Specifications".

xCut only work pieces that have dimensions which allow them to be safely and securely held (or clamped) during cutting.

xDo not jam work pieces.

xNever try to slow the saw blade down or stop it by pushing the work piece against the saw blade from the side.

xAvoid strained body positions and over-reaching. Assume proper operating position:

in front of the machine with body positioned for normal operation;

directly in front of the saw;

to the side of the machine.

AWARNING

xWhen tilting the sawhead assem- bly to the side, hold the sawhead by the handle and keep your fin- gers away from the track arm holder and out of its tilting range.

xDo not reach under the rotating table when adjusting the miter angle.

xAfter each cutting operation return the track arm to its rear starting position.

8.1Standard Crosscuts

For standard crosscuts the maximum dimension (inches) of the work pieces are:

Width approx.

11 7/32

 

 

Height approx.

3 3/16

 

 

Starting position:

Transport locking pin pulled out.

Sawhead assembly fully raised.

Cutting depth limit screw set to max- imum depth. Limit screw is securely tightened.

Rotating table in 0° position, the lock screw of the rotating table is securely tightened.

Sawhead assembly is in vertical (0°) position, bevel tilt lock lever tight- ened.

Hinged fence on top of the fence and secured.

Track arm not extended.

Lock screw of the track arm loos- ened (only if required, such as when cutting a wide work piece).

Cutting the work piece:

1.Hold the work piece against the fence.

2.Press and hold the ON/OFF switch .

3.Slowly swing the sawhead assembly all the way down, holding the handle firmly. When sawing exert only mod- erate pressure. This keeps the motor speed from dropping.

4.For wider work pieces pull sawhead assembly forward (towards the operator).

5.Cut work piece in a single pass.

ENGLISH

6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let the sawhead slowly return to its upper starting position.

8.2Miter Cuts

3Note:A miter cut cuts the work piece at an angle to the fence.
