ADJUSTING THE MACHINE PLATE
The height of the machine plate in the worktop was set in the factory to ensure that the workpiece glides smoothly over the worktop and machine
plate area. The height of the machine plate can be adjusted, if necessary. Loosen the six lock nuts. Align the height of the machine plate using the six
adjusting screws until it is flush with the worktop and then tighten the lock nuts again. Before starting work, always check that the six lock nuts are
fastened tightly. Also check that the screws and lock nuts on both holders for engaging the machine plate are always fastened tightly (Fig. 25).
SPECIAL ACCESSORIES FOR THE MASTER cut 1500
TWO EXTRA ATTACHABLE RIVING KNIVES, ART. NO. 6930000 AND 6904000 DESIGNED
FOR HAND-HELD CIRCULAR SAWS WITHOUT A RIVING KNIFE
CAUTION: The special accessories described here are only compatible with the MASTER cut 1500.
NOTE: The following section describes how this special accessory functions and is operated, and an illustration is included on page 24.
INTENDED USE
The two riving knives enable the operation of hand-held circular saws that have no riving knife.
Riving knife 6903000 is designed for hand-held circular saws with circular saw blades that have a maximum diameter of 160 mm
and a cutting width between 2.4 mm and 2.8 mm.
Riving knife 6904000 is designed for operating hand-held circular saws with saw blades that have a maximum diameter of 200 mm,
a cutting width between 2.4 mm and 2.8 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 66 mm.
CAUTION: Before using the special accessories, always read the general safety instructions, the safety instructions for hand-held circular saws
and the original instruction manual accompanying the hand-held circular saw without a riving knife.
RIVING KNIVES ART. NO. 6903000 AND 6904000
Riving knife 6903000 includes the following components: 1x riving knife (for a max. circular saw blade diameter of 160 mm),
1x riving knife holder (long version), 1x setting gauge (Fig. A).
Riving knife 6904000 includes the following components: 1x riving knife (for a max. circular saw blade diameter of 200 mm),
1x riving knife holder (short version), 1x setting gauge (Fig. B).
CAUTION: The following section describes how the riving knife (Art. No. 6903000) for hand-held circular saws with a max. saw blade diameter
of 160 mm is assembled and functions.
The riving knife (Art. No. 6904000) for hand-held circular saws with a max. saw blade diameter of 200 mm is assembled and functions
in the same way. However, it is possible to machine workpieces with a max. height of 60 mm using this riving knife.
ATTACHING RIVING KNIVES
Open the machine plate as shown in Fig. 16 (Fig. C.1). Assemble the locating bolt with the fixing parts. Assemble the components loosely (Fig. C.2).
Close the machine plate (Fig. C.3). Insert the riving knife approx. 2 cm into the groove on the locating bolt from above. Make sure that the riving
knife is inserted in the direction of the arrow up to the stop on the machine plate as illustrated (= vertical direction). Tighten the Allen screw
(Fig. C.4, C.5). Open the machine plate again (Fig. C.6).
ASSEMBLY OF THE HAND-HELD CIRCULAR SAW
Retract the protective pendulum hood on the hand-held circular saw and position the machine centrally over the saw gap. Release the cutting
depth lock on the circular saw and set the machine to the maximum cutting depth. Tighten the cutting depth lock again.
CAUTION: Check the distance between the foremost tooth on the saw blade to the front edge of the saw gap. This distance must be less than 20 mm.
Align the front end of the hand-held circular saw with the 0 mark on the base plate of the hand-held circular saw and the two auxiliary marking lines
on the machine plate. At the rear end of the handheld circular saw, align the saw blade centrally in relation to the riving knife (Fig. D.1).
Note: The best place to check whether the machine is aligned correctly is behind the riving knife in the direction of the circular saw blade because
the saw blade is thicker than the riving knife. After aligning the hand-held circular saw, attach the two side stops so that their surfaces
are in full contact with the machine’s base plate. Then attach the two clamping claws (Fig. D.2).
CAUTION: Make sure that the saw blade is aligned centrally in relation to the riving knife, otherwise the hand-held circular saw must be realigned.
Secure another side of the base plate. Install the angle bracket with two side stops first. Make sure they are in full contact with the base plate. In the
same way, install an angle bracket with two side stops on the opposite side. Attach the two clamping claws (Fig. D.3). The two clamping claws must
be installed as close to the longer side of the base plate as possible. Note: Refer to pages 13 - 15 for other attachment options on a variety of base
plates.
Adjust the safety distance between the riving knife and circular saw blade using the setting gauge.
Close the machine plate (Fig. E.1). Fit the individual parts to the riving knife as shown in the illustration (Fig. E.2). Tighten the screw and the knurled
nut connected to the riving knife and loosely tighten the screw and knurled nut in the front of the housing (Fig. E.3). Loosen the riving knife
fastening using the Allen wrench (Fig. E.4). Slide down the riving knife vertically in relation to the circular saw blade (Fig. E.5). Slide down the riving
knife until at least one circular saw blade tooth reaches the housing of the setting gauge (detailed view E.6). Now tighten the front knurled nut (Fig.
E.6). When the Allen screw is tightened, the safety distance between the circular saw blade and the riving knife is adjusted to max. 5 mm (Fig. E.7).
Then unscrew the setting gauge from the riving knife (Fig. E.8).
CAUTION: Make sure that the saw blade is aligned centrally in relation to the riving knife (detailed view in Fig. E.8) and that the max. safety distance
of 5 mm between the circular saw blade and riving knife is maintained (detailed view in Fig. E.6), otherwise the hand-held circular saw
must be realigned.
CAUTION: Before starting work, always check that the riving knife and fixing parts are fastened tightly!
