ENGLISH
−
work clamp – for workpieces that
do not rest securely on the saw
table – such as round stock;
−
dust collector.
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
−
Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side. Risk of kickback.
−
Always hold the workpiece down
on the table and do not jam it.
Risk of kickback.
−
Never cut several workpieces at
the same time – and also no
bundles containing several indivi-
dual pieces. Risk of personal
injury if individual pieces are
caught by the saw blade uncont-
rolled.
−
When working in radial saw mode
check prior to each cut, with the
saw blade at standstill, if the
blade will clear the fence extru-
sion when cutting fully through
the stock.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
Never cut stock to which
ropes, cords, strings, cables or wires
are attached or which contain such
materials.
8.1 Circular saw
When operated as table saw the work-
piece is fed into the blade, towards the
rear of the saw. In this operating mode
the length of cut is unlimited.
1. Lock saw blade in table centre.
2. Set depth of cut. The blade guard
must rest with its front edge on the
workpiece.
3. Set blade tilt and lock in position.
4. Mount rip fence, if required.
5. Start saw.
6. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
7. Switch machine off if no further cut-
ting is to be done immediately after-
wards.
8.2 Radial pull saw
When operated as radial pull saw the
workpiece is fixed to the table and the
saw blade pulled forward. Depending on
the workpiece thickness the length of cut
is limited (see illustration). This operating
mode is particularly suitable for:
−
crosscuts
−
cutting of extrusion and light metals
−
very precise cuts
1. Unlock saw blade carriage.
2. Set depth of cut. The blade guard
must rest with its front edge on the
workpiece.
3. Set blade tilt and lock in position.
4. Mount auxiliary fence extrusion.
Caution!
Ensure the auxiliary fence
extrusion does not project into the
line of cut.
5. With the blade at standstill, check if
the workpiece can be cut in its entire
length. To do so, pull the saw blade
towards you.
6. Return saw blade to its rear position.
7. Place workpiece against the auxil-
iary fence extrusion.
8. Start saw.
9. Cut workpiece by pulling the saw
blade forward towards you. Return
saw blade to its rear position.
10. Switch machine off if no further cut-
ting is to be done immediately after-
wards.
Danger!
Prior to all servicing:
−
switch machine OFF;
−
unplug power cable;
−
wait until the saw has come to a
complete stop.
•
Check that all safety devices are
operational again after each service.
•
Repair and maintenance work other
than described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists.
9.1 Saw blade change
Danger!
Risk of injury by cuts from the
saw blade's teeth. Wear gloves when
changing blades.
1. Remove blade guard (33).
2. Loosen removable table section (34)
and remove it from the table.
3. Loosen screw fitting (35) at the bot-
tom of the chip case and remove
cover plate (36) by pulling it upward.
4. Hold saw spindle with 13 mm open
jaw wrench and loosen arbor bolt
(37) with Allen key (L.H. thread!).
5. Take blade off the saw spindle.
6. Clean clamping surfaces of saw
spindle and saw blade.
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents
(e.g. for removing resin residue) that
could corrode the light metal compo-
nents of the saw; the stability of the
saw would be adversely affected.
7. Put on a fresh saw blade (observe
direction of rotation!).
