Step 4: Attaching the guide rail

To attach the guide rail, place on the key [5-2] and make sure that the end of the rail is resting on the support plate and the key is located correctly in the groove.

Secure the guide rail in this position with the two screws [5-1] and tighten using the hexagon wrench.

Lower the guide rail onto the support unit so that the groove in the underside of the guide rail fits on to the pin [4-5] of the support unit. The guide rail is properly at- tached when only a very slight lateral pres- sure is necessary for the pin to engage into the guide rail.

The deflector [6-1] is pushed onto the end of the guide rail. Close the rotary knob [6-2]. The deflector prevents the extrac- tion hose and the power cable from catch- ing on the guide rail.

Step 5: Attaching the pre-set

profile setting rail

The rail can be attached at any point along the clamping edge of the bench and is so versatile, it can be used as a cross stop or a longitudinal stop.

NOTE: Before attaching, make sure that the V groove on the fence is not dirty.

Open the clamping jaws using the knob [7-2]. Place the fence with guide rail [7-1] onto the clamp rail from above. Secure the clamp segment using the knob [7-2].
