Work Piece C-1
Cutting of work piece on a circular saw efore notching
Before the notching of the work piece it must be cut to the correct length on a circular saw.
It is very important that the saw blade is e actly adjusted to 90° to the machine table (see fig. 1). The
blade must also be e actly adjusted to 90° to the fence (see fig. 2).
Discrepancies arising from these cuts will result in gaps in the finished joints.

In General
The machine is delivered ready for use and complete with standard equipment.
Only the table e tensions (13) and fences (8) are dismounted during transport.
Place the machine 1 m from the wall as stated in E-1. The machine can be fastened to the floor
using parabolts through the two holes in the bottom of the machine frame.
Check each time before starting that all protection devices are correctly fitted.
Fitting of the Ta le Extension and fences
(the drawing shows the right side, the same procedure is used on the left side).
Before fitting, the ends of the table e tension (13) and the table (7) must be cleaned thoroughly.
Special attention must be paid to the pin and screw holes, as the smallest amount of dirt will prevent
the correct alignment.
After cleaning, the table e tension (13) is pressed against the table so that the pins placed in the
table e tension are inserted in the pin holes in the table. The included bolt is now inserted into the
hole and fastened with a standard spanner.
The fence (8) is fitted on the table e tension (location pins are fitted in the table e tension). It is
secured with Allen screws.
