requires the use of the riving knife (58) and the anti-kickback fingers (56)

(fig. G2).

• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, keeping it firmly pressed onto

the table and against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut and do not force

the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept

constant.

Always use a push stick.

Bevel ripping

• Set the machine in the bevel crosscut position.

• Rotate the yoke into rip position.

• Position the yoke for the correct ripping width.

• Angle the anti-kickback fingers so that they will be flat on the

workpiece and lower the riving knife.

• Proceed as for ripping.

Compound mitre (fig. K4)

This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.

• Set the required bevel angle.

• Swing the arm to the required mitre position.

• Proceed as for mitre cuts.

Always switch OFF the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.

Coving/hollowing

Your radial arm saw can be used for a wide variety of advanced

applications, such as coving/hollowing.

• Tilt the blade to the required angle, rotate the yoke beneath the arm

and position the blade above the workpiece where required.

Remove the workpiece and lower the blade to make a shallow cut.

Lower the anti-kickback fingers as for bevel ripping. Keeping the

workpiece against the fence, proceed as for ripping.

Make shallow cuts only!

Dust extraction (fig. F2)

The machine is provided with a dust extraction adaptor (55).

• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in

accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.

• When cross-cutting, position a dust collection chute (option) behind the

line of cut.

The shaping/moulding head is used to provide your work with a

professional finish.

Mounting the shaping/moulding head (fig. L1 - L3)

arbor.

• Put the shaping head onto the arbor as shown and lock it with the

clamping nut (87) using the box spanner (88) available as an option.

• Tilt the motor until the shaping head is in horizontal position.

• Mount the shaping head guard (89) (fig. L2) as shown and adjust it to

the required depth of cut (fig. L3).

Shaping/moulding

• Place the shaping/moulding head over the fence. The protruding

section corresponds to the cut that will be made.

Certain applications may require to divide the fence into two sections and

to place the shaping/moulding head between them. In that case, the fence

must be replaced when the saw is used for ordinary applications again.

Always use a push stick.

• Feed the material firmly and evenly along the fence from the right.

Rebating

• Use straight-edged cutters.

• Proceed as for shaping/moulding.

• For bevelled rebate cutting, tilt the motor to the required angle.

For wider rebates, use the dado head together with the guard

of the shaping/moulding head.

Refer to the instructions pertaining to the use of the dado head.
