Adjust the speed of the saw [3-2] to a setting of „6“ (maximum speed). Set the depth of cut, using the depth stop adjust- ment [3-1], to 8 mm (5 mm for the thick- ness of the guide rail plus 3 mm cutting depth) and cut the splinter guard along the full length without interruption.

For trimming the splinter guard it is best to use some sort of backing piece, such as plywood or fiberboard.

The edge of the splinter guard now corre- sponds exactly to the cutting edge.

guide rail support

The table comes from the factory with two stops [4-2, 4-4] pre-set on the long sides of the profile frame, opposite each other. These are recommended working positions

4-4for the support unit [4-2] and swivel unit [4-4].

 

NOTE: During transport it is possible that

 

the set screws holding the stops may have

 

loosened. If this is the case, you will have

 

to position and retighten the registering

 

stops. Facing the front of the table, the

 

measurement is 8 3/4’’ from the side face

 

of the profile frame at the right side of the

 

table. Facing the rear, the stop is approxi-

 

mately 7 2/3’’ from the side face at the left

4

side of the table.

The swivel unit [4-4] is mounted on the

 

 

rear long side, the support unit [4-2] on

 

the front side.

Both units are inserted into the profile groove from the left up to the stops with the height adjustment [4-2] and the rota- ry knob [4-1] released, and then clamped with the rotary knob [4-1].
