- Make sure that all safety facilities are operational once more, after the completion of
maintenance works.
12.2.2 Before every use
 Remove sawdust and wood splinters from the machine with a brush and dust cloth, or with
a vacuum cleaner.
 Check the power cable and plug for damages, and let damaged parts be replaced by a
certified electrician.
 Check all moving parts, and make sure that they can move freely and smoothly over their
entire operational range.
 Check the riving knife, and make sure that the distance between the riving knife and saw
blade is between 3 mm and 8 mm.
12.2.3 Every 300 operating hours
o Check all screws and make sure that they are firmly attached; tighten up wherever
necessary.
o Check the lateral tolerance of the saw head, and adapt it if necessary by tightening the
bolt (P1).
o Check whether the saw head returns to its starting position when it is released; replace
the corresponding springs, if necessary.
o Check whether the movable saw blade guard functions.
TIPS:
 For long workpieces, use suitable supports at both sides of the machine.
 Use an additional mitre and width guide when sawing small pieces (this can be a small
board, which is attached to the guide with screws).
 When sawing a warped workpiece, make sure that you position the convex side (namely
the outer side of the curve) of the workpiece against the guide.
 Do not saw workpieces that are standing on edge. Always position workpieces flat on the
turntable.
 Always keep support surfaces clean; it is above all important to remove resin residues with
a suitable cleaner or maintenance spray.
12.2.4 Changing the saw blade (5)
HAZARD! The saw blade may be extremely hot and can cause burns,
immediately after you have stopped sawing. Always led a hot saw blade
cool off. Never clean saw blades with flammable liquids.
This can cause injuries, also when the saw blade is not turning. The
movable saw blade guard must cover the saw blade, whenever you tighten
or release the driveshaft bolt.
Always wear gloves while changing the saw blade.
 Set the support arm to 0° (vertical) and tighten the bevelling lock nut.
 To prevent that the saw blade rotates, pull the saw blade lock forward. Use your hand at
the same time to turn the saw blade slowly, until the saw blade latch is activated.
 Loosen the driveshaft bolt of the saw (left-turning thread).
 Remove the shaft bolt and the outer saw flange from the saw shaft.
 Remove the saw blade from the saw shaft and let it down to remove it from the machine.
 Remove the adapter ring and the inner saw flange from the saw shaft.
