SuperSilent
FAQ

I cannot get through the material when sawing. What is the matter?
If the SuperSilent does not manage to get through the material this is - as experience has shown - due to multiple
clamping of the material. The material will have no freedom left for deviating which means the tool gets stuck. During
operation the work piece may therefore not be clamped simultaneously in various ways. This can, for example, be the
case, if the parallel stop is pushed far beyond the saw blade. The work piece cannot deviate laterally, because on one
side the parallel stop is the obstacle, on the other side the operator is possibly pushing transversely against the work
piece. The same situation arises, if pressure beams and wrongly positioned parallel stops are applied.
Tipp: If the blade should actually be jammed, the first step is to push the parallel stop back. Take the measurements
first, then work without parallel stop.
The tool vibrates during application. What happened?
Whenever a saw blade vibrates, the saw body is thermally influenced. The workpiece touches the saw body during the
cut and the body is subsequently heating up.
Take care that the workpiece is always pushed “parallel past the saw blade“ rather than „towards the saw blade“ as
already described above. The tool is thus in the position of cut itself free, any contact is then avoided.
Tipp: Never put your hands laterally on the workpiece, you will then tend to push the workpiece towards the saw bla-
de. A position near the saw blade should be favoured, this makes it much easier to push parallel to the tool. Make sure
to leave sufficient space between your hands and the sawblade for reasons of work safety. Do not push the workpiece
too far ahead, a parallel feed is then next to impossible.

Further questions „around the SuperSilent“

Where do I get the SuperSilent?
Through the specialised trade or directly from AKE, depending on the sales area. Please contact us via webform on
www.ake.de. We will be informing you about the contact details of the AKE - specialist dealer in your region.

I have so far been using a two-piece scorer. Will the changeover to a one-piece scorer bring about any
specific benefits?
The advantage of our one-piece scorer is its perfect adjustment to the main blade. It does not have to be tuned
and – combined with the SuperSilent main blade – it convinces with its very easy operation.

I do already have a scoring blade. Do I need another one in SuperSilent-design?
In principle any conventional one-piece or two-piece scorer can be applied together with the SuperSilent-main blade,
provided that the scorer can be adjusted to the respective SuperSilent kerf. We do, however, recommend to change
to the SuperSilent-scorer, because with the double pack (main blade & scorer) all advantages can be utilised. The
one-piece scorer specifically designed to suit the main blade, tedious tool adjustments of a two-piece scorer are thus
not necessary. As the scorer has also been constructed according to the SuperSilent-technology it does cut at a very
low noise and, thanks to the diamond tips, for a long time and extremely efficiently. The change is therefore at any rate
worthwhile.

Riving knives

Why do I need a separate riving knife for the SuperSilent?
This is due to the small saw body thickness. When choosing the correct riving knife thickness the general rule is, the
riving knife should be thicker than the saw body and thinner than the kerf. For SuperSilent blades Ø 300 and 303 mm
you therefore need, for example, a riving knife which is thicker than 1.8 mm, but thinner than 2.0 mm resp. 2.4 mm.

So what is the suitable riving knife thickness?
We recommend to apply a riving knife with 1.9 mm thickness (for Ø 300 and 303 mm) resp. 2.2 mm (for Ø 350 mm).
You yourself and your tool will then be optimally protected. Never use a riving knife with 1.8 mm thickness for
Ø 300 / 303 mm, because you work with increased safety with our 1.9 mm design. Moreover, most of our riving
knives are wider than the original riving knives of the machine manufacturers, thus providing increased stability.
