Adjustment parallel to the bench edge:

Loosen the rotary knob [10-4].

Adjustment at right angles to the

bench edge:

Loosen the rotary knob [10-4].

Adjusting the stop ruler [10-5]

lengthways

Loosen the rotary knob [10-1]. The stop ruler can be moved to a lower position for thin workpieces or a higher position for thicker workpieces.

Angle adjustment using the scale

Loosen the rotary knob [10-2] and lift the retaining pin [10-3]. The rotary retaining pin engages in the most common angle positions.

Step 8: Adjusting the guide rail

in relation to the workpiece

For sawing and routing applications, the guide rail can be lowered via [1-2] and [1-4] so that the rail rests evenly on the workpiece. The workpiece and the rail are retained securely.

A support piece of suitable thickness is placed centrally under the guide rail between the workpiece and the support unit [1-2] so that the guide rail does not tilt when narrow workpieces are machined.

Step 9: Adjusting the cutting depth for sawing [Fig. 11]

11

max. 5 mm

Always make sure that the cutting depth setting is correct in relation to the workpiece thickness. We recommend setting a cutting depth to a maximum of 5 mm more than the workpiece thickness to protect the pro- file frame from damage.
