9. Working with the limit stops Working with the longitudinal stop Longitudinal stops are indispensable working aids for producing any number of work pieces with exactly the same width or length without having to mark the piece to be sawn each time The material to be sawn is simply guided along the longitudinal stop with slight pressure during the sawing procedure The measure of the finished sawn work piece thus corre sponds to the distance of saw blade and limit stop edge If necessary you can refer to the scale at the front of the housing to adjust the longitudinal stop The future measure of the work piece can be read off from a marking However the scale must be adjusted exactly to the saw blade beforehand therefore ze roised How this is done is described below The scale is dimensioned for the use of the limit stop on both sides of the saw blade The most various sawing tasks are therefore no problem Inserting or removing the longitudinal stop The longitudinal stop 1 fig 10a is inserted or re moved from the side from the right or left in the guide 2 at the saw table While you are shifting in serting or removing the longitudinal stop make sure that both fixing options locking handle 3 and knurled screw 4 are released The scale 5 was attached with restricted rotation Please make sure it is properly seated when you insert the limit stop Rough adjustment of the longitudinal stop The rough adj
