
Clamping piece, cpl.
The clamping piece (of the universal stop)

can be fastened on the bracket 43
intended for this purpose (Fig. 5 - page 3)
with the wing bolt.
The cast-on transport handles 7 on both longitudinal
sides can be used by two persons to transport the
machine.
The vertically offset arrangement of the handles on
the longitudinal and transverse sides enables easy
transport of the machine over stairs, whereby the saw
can be held by one person from above and by the
second person from the bottom and therefore
transported horizontally.
The two feet 9 and 10 (Fig. 6 - page 3) of the
underframe can be folded for ease of transport.
For stationary operation of the machine, fold down
both feet 9 and 10 until they engage in their final
position. The adjustable foot can compensate
unevenness of the underground. Fold the feet for
transport, in particular to building sites. Proceed as
follows:

Push the rear blocking rod 8 (Fig. 3 - page 3)
downwards to release the blocking and
completely fold in the rear frame foot 9 (see Fig.
6) until the blocking rod engages.

On the machine that is now standing in an
inclined position, push the front blocking rod
downwards and also fold in the frame foot 10
(Fig. 6 - page 3) until the blocking rod engages.

4.2 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

4.3 Upper saw guard

The upper saw guard is designed in accordance with
legal requirements. The saw guard and side covers
are designed to prevent unintentional contact
between the user and the saw blade sprocket area.
So as to ensure this, the side covers always rest on
the table top or the workpiece and automatically
adapt to the thickness of the workpiece. However, in
the case of unfavourable angles and/or workpiece
thicknesses, automatic opening is physically not
possible. The workpiece or the stop system then
presses the side cover in the direction of the saw
blade. Please observe the following instructions to
prevent this:

Always adapt the cutting depth to the workpiece
thickness, see section 5.6.

If necessary, set a sufficient distance between
the stop and the saw blade or, in the case of the
multifunction stop, retract the stop that is not
required to allow the side covers to slide freely.

For acute-angled sections, select the working
direction so that the side covers meet the
workpiece edge as perpendicular as possible.

4.4 Chip extraction

Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inner diameter of the extraction connection is 58
mm (2 9/32 in.).
If you use the machine outdoors or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms you can also use the chip collection
system (Cleanbox) in the case of short operation. Do
not forget that this must be exchanged at the latest
when it is 80% full (with oak and beech wood dust
ensure a dust free disposal!).

4.5 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
Cutting of solid wood crosswise and lengthwise
to the grain direction and cutting of uncoated chip
boards, plywood and the like:
- Erika 70: TCT circular saw blade Ø 225 x 2.5 x 30
mm, 32 alternate top bevel teeth (item number see
chapter 8)
- Erika 85: TCT circular saw blade Ø 250 x 2.8 x 30
mm, 40 alternate top bevel teeth (item number see
chapter 8)
Cutting of coated boards:
- Erika 70: TCT circular saw blade Ø 225 x 2.5 x 30
mm, 48 alternate top bevel teeth (item number see
chapter 8)
