Multifunction table

16

The mutifunction table, which is available in two sizes (MFT 800, MFT 1080), makes clamping the workpiece easy and allows you to saw large and small workpieces safely and precisely using the guide system. Its many fields of application make economical and ergonomically convenient work possible.

Guide system

The guide rails, which are available in different lengths, allow for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against damage. In conjunction with the extensive range of accessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed with the guide system.

The option of securing using G-clamps (17.4) ensures a firm hold and safe working. The optional cord guide (17.2) prevents the power cord and vacuum hose from catching on the end of the guide rail.

The guide clearance of the saw table on the guide rails can be set with the two setting jaws (17.1).

The guide rails are equipped with a splinterguard (17.3, 18.1), which prevents splintering of the workpiece by holding the top edge of the workpiece down as the teeth of the sawblade move upward against it. The spliterguard has to be cut to size before the first use:

-Set the speed of the machine to level 6,

-Place the machine on the rear end of the guide rail,

-Switch the machine on, press it down to the set cutting depth and cut the splinterguard along the full length without interruption. The edge of the splinterguard now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge.

The splinter guard needs to be replaced if it becomes damaged or worn:

-Peel the original splinter guard (18.1) away from the guide rail.

-As needed, clean residual adhesive and debris from the guide rail.

-Peel off the plastic backing from the new splinter guard to expose the adhesive.

-Without stretching the rubber, carefully place the new splinter guard on the underside of the guide rail tight to the alignment rib (18.2).

-Make sure the splinter guard is firmly pressed down to the guide rail.

-Trim the splinter guard as described before.
