Step 6: Calibrating angle

Check the angle setting of the pre-set pro- file setting rail before starting work. Align the guide rail first of all [Fig. 8].

Align the guide rail at right angles to the pre-set profile setting rail. If an angle of 90° is not possible, slide a support unit on the guide rail until the angle is correct. Se- cure the guide rail.

NOTE: Slide the relevant stop [4-3] along the table profile to retain the setting per- manently.

If required, the pre-set profile setting rail can also be aligned in relation to the per- forated top provided the necessary clamps (accessories) are available.

Insert the clamps [9-1] and [9-2] as shown in Fig. [9] and move the stop ruler [9-3] to a 90° position.

If the stop ruler does not rest evenly against the clamps:

Loosen the screws [9-4] and the rotary knob [7-2]. The retaining pin must be en- gaged in the 90° notch.

Set the angle at 90° in relation to the clamps and tighten the screws.

Step 7: Adjusting the pre-set

profile setting rail
