Attaching the pre-set profi le setting rail
The rail can be attached at any point along the
clamping edge of the bench and is so versatile,
it can be used as a cross stop or a longitudinal
stop.
Before attaching, make sure that the V groove
on the fence is not dirty.
Open the clamping jaws using the knob [5-4].
Place the fence with guide rail [5-5] onto the
clamp rail from above.
Secure the clamp segment using the knob [5-4].
The additional clamp [1-7] is designed to secure
the stop ruler.
Guide the additional clamp into the V groove
on the MFT/3 and the guide slot on the stop
ruler.
Secure the additional clamp using the clamp
lever and the rotary knob.
6 Working with the MFT
6.1 Adjusting the pre-set profi le setting rail
Check the angle setting of the pre-set profi le
setting rail before starting work. Align the guide
rail fi rst of all [6a].
Align the guide rail at right angles to the pre-
set profi le setting rail.
If an angle of 90° is not possible, slide a sup-
port unit on the guide rail until the angle is
correct.
Secure the guide rail.
Slide the relevant stop [3-1/4-4] along the
table profi le to retain the setting permanent-
ly.
If required, the pre-set profi le setting rail can
also be aligned in relation to the perforated top
provided the necessary clamps (accessories) are
available.
Insert the clamps [6-1] and [6-2] as shown in
Fig. [6a] and move the stop ruler [6-3] to a 90°
position.
If the stop ruler does not rest evenly against the
clamps:
Loosen the screws [6-4] and the rotary knob
[5-2]. The retaining pin must be engaged in
the 90° notch.
Set the angle at 90° in relation to the clamps
and tighten the screws.
The fence can be adjusted in the following ways:
Adjustment parallel to the bench edge:
Loosen the rotary knob [5-4].
Slide the stop into the groove on the MFT/3.
Adjustment at right angles to the bench edge:
Loosen the rotary knob [5-4].
Slide the stop into the groove on the MFT/3.
Adjusting the stop ruler [5-6] lengthways
Loosen the rotary knob [5-1]. The stop ruler
can be moved to a lower position for thin work-
pieces or a higher position for thicker work-
pieces.
Angle adjustment using the scale
Loosen the rotary knob [5-2] and lift the re-
taining pin [5-3]. The rotary retaining pin en-
gages in the most common angle positions.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Always use the fence in a fi xed position and do
not use to slide the workpiece along!
Make sure that all rotary knobs on the fence
are tightened before starting work.
Stop fl ag
The adjustable stop MFT/3-AR [1-8] is used to
adjust the distance to the tool and the length of
the workpiece section being processed.
6.2 Adjusting the guide rail in relation to the
workpiece
Before sawing or routing, lower the guide rail
and support unit [1-2] until the guide rail rests
fl at on the workpiece.
Caution: the nose of the support unit must be
seated in the groove on the underside of the
guide rail without play.
Clamp the swivel unit [1-4] and the support
unit [1-2] using the clamping levers.
Clamp the workpiece securely to the MFT/3
using MFT clamps (accessories) or an FSZ
clamp (accessories).
For safe machining of narrow and/or short
workpieces:
Place a piece of material of the same thick-
ness under the guide rail.
6.3 Adjusting the cutting depth for sawing
[Fig. 7]
Always make sure that the cutting depth setting
is correct in relation to the workpiece thickness.
We recommend setting a cutting depth to a max-
imum of 5 mm more than the workpiece thick-
ness to protect the profi le frame from damage.
