2. Safety Instructions

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or damage to the equipment.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and heavy-duty gloves. Avoid loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts.
• Work Area: Ensure your work area is clean, well-lit, and free from obstructions. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance.
• Electrical Safety: Connect the saw to a properly grounded 230V power outlet. Do not operate in wet conditions. Inspect the power cord for damage before each use.
• Blade Safety: Ensure the blade is sharp and correctly installed. Never attempt to remove jammed material while the saw is running. Always disconnect power before changing blades or performing maintenance.
• Material Handling: Securely position the log in the cradle before cutting. Do not overreach or force the saw. Maintain a firm grip on the material.
• Machine Stability: Ensure the saw is placed on a stable, level surface before operation.

3. Setup

Before operating your Scheppach HS510 tilting saw, ensure it is properly assembled and positioned.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged.
2. Assembly: Follow the detailed assembly instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. This typically involves attaching the stand, log cradle, and wheels.
3. Positioning: Place the saw on a firm, level surface. The integrated wheels allow for easy movement to your desired cutting location.

The integrated wheels on the Scheppach HS510 tilting saw allow for easy maneuverability and transport of the machine around the workspace.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your tilting saw.

1. Material Preparation: Ensure logs are free of foreign objects (nails, stones) and are within the specified cutting diameter (30-170 mm) and length (250-1000 mm).
2. Adjusting the Stop: Use the adjustable stop to set the desired cutting length for consistent log pieces.
3. Loading the Log: Carefully place the log into the log cradle. Ensure it is seated firmly and cannot shift during the cut.
4. Starting the Saw: Engage the power switch. Allow the blade to reach full operating speed (2800 rpm) before beginning the cut.
5. Making the Cut: Gently tilt the log cradle downwards, allowing the log to contact the spinning blade. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the cut. The patented protective cover will engage during the cutting process for safety.
6. Completing the Cut: Once the cut is complete, allow the cradle to return to its upright position. Remove the cut piece and repeat the process for subsequent cuts.
7. Shutting Down: Turn off the power switch when finished or when leaving the saw unattended. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before performing any adjustments or maintenance.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Scheppach HS510.

• Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the power and clean the saw. Remove sawdust and debris from the blade guard, motor housing, and log cradle using a brush or compressed air.
• Blade Inspection: Regularly inspect the carbide blade for sharpness, damage, or missing teeth. A dull or damaged blade can cause kickback and reduce cutting efficiency. Replace blades as needed.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts as indicated in the detailed service manual (if applicable) to ensure smooth operation.
• Fasteners: Check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
