5 Maintenance and Servicing
Due to the high quality materials and components used for this accessory maintenance is kept to a minimum. The
hardened and polished guide bars (317/333) and the four rollers should be oiled regularly with gun oil to keep from
rust. All bearings are greased for life.
The four rollers are factory set. However, if a roller carriage extrusion (316/332) or traversing saddle (310) is
replaced, the rollers may need adjustment.
Loosen bolts "D" of the lower rollers. Adjust by setting the eccentric bush (326) of each roller until carriage runs
smooth with as little play as possible.
8 Hints for Operation
The fence can be extented to a meax. length of 2600 mm (8'6") to the left.
Use sharp blades only. Set depth of cut to approx. 5-10 mm more than the thickness of the work.
For cutting faced or laminated sheets and panels we recommend use of our special saw blade order-no.
091 000 0020. For ease of transport the table can be taken off by means of the two clamp levers (308 & 309).
Be sure that table seats are clean before table is replaced.
6 Scale Setting
Set hinged backstop to reading "50".
Set fence extrusion so that distance
between backstop and saw blade ist
exactly 50 mm.
Slide backstop plate (349) against
link bracket angle bar (307) and tigh-
ten. Repeat setting procedure with
fence in 45° position.
For work longer than 150 cms the
fence extension is used. Set hinged
backstop to 150 cms position and pull
out extension. Distance between
backstop and blade is shown at rea-
ding mark A.
7 Setting of Riving Knife
The riving knife prevents the work from closing behind the blade, thus stalling the blade and causing kickbback. Except
for set-in work, never perform any cutting operation without the riving knife in place.
Set riving knife so that gap between riving knife and blade does not exceed 10 mm - 3/8 in.
