Caution!
The plastic nose must have at
least 10 mm distance to the line of
cut.
3. Set the cutting height of the saw
blade.
4. Set saw blade tilt and lock.
5. Start motor.
6. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
7. Switch machine off if no further cut-
ting is to be done immediately after-
wards.
•
Before cutting a workpiece to size
make trial cuts on pieces of scrap.
•
Always place a workpiece on the
saw table in such way that it can not
tilt or rock (e.g. always place a
curved board on the table with the
convex side up).
•
When working long stock use suita-
ble supports, such as table rear or
side extensions (optional accesso-
ries).
•
Keep surfaces of the table top and
table extension clean – in particular,
remove resin residue with a suitable
cleaning and maintenance spray
(optional accessory).
A
Danger!
Prior to all servicing:
−
switch machine OFF;
−
unplug power cable;
−
wait for saw blade to 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
A
Danger!
Directly after cutting the saw
blade can be very hot – burning haz-
ard! Let a hot saw blade cool down.
Do not clean the saw blade with com-
bustible liquids. Risk of injury, even
with the blade at standstill. Wear
gloves when changing blades.
When fitting a saw blade, observe the
direction of rotation!
1. Raise saw blade fully.
2. Remove blade guard.
3. Turn the flat head screw (76) of the
table insert extrusion (77) clockwise
by 1/4 turn and remove the table
insert.
4. Loosen arbor bolt (78) with spanner
(L.H. thread!). Hold outer blade col-
lar (79) with ring spanner to counter.
5. Remove outer blade collar (79) and
saw blade (80) from the saw spin-
dle.
6. Clean clamping surfaces of saw
spindle and saw blade.
A
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents
(e.g. to remove 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!).
A
Danger!
Use only suitable saw blades
(see "Available accessories") – when
using unsuitable or damaged blades
parts could be explosive-like hurled
from it by centrifugal force.
Do not use:
−
saw blades made of high speed
steel (HSS or HS);
−
saw blades with visible damage;
−
cut-off wheel blades.
A
Danger!
−
Mount saw blade only using gen-
uine parts.
−
Do not use loose-fitting reducing
rings; the saw blade could work
loose.
−
Saw blades have to be mounted
in such way that they do not wob-
ble or run out of balance and can
not work loose during operation.
8. Put on outer blade collar (79) (the
inner blade collar's lug must engage
in the groove of the outer blade col-
lar).
9. Screw arbor bolt (78) back in the
saw spindle (L.H. thread!) and
tighten it. Hold outer blade collar
(79) with ring spanner to counter.
A
Danger!
−
Do not extend arbor bolt tighten-
ing wrench.
−
Do not tighten arbor bolt by hit-
ting the wrench.
−
After the arbor bolt has been
tightened, remove all tools used
during saw blade installation!
10. Fit table insert extrusion (81) flush
into the saw table.
11. Turn the countersunk screw (82)
counter-clockwise against the stop.
9.2 Cleaning the saw blade's
height adjustment mech-
anism
1. Raise saw blade fully and dismount
it (see "Saw blade change").
Now the spindle of the height adjust-
ment is accessible from the top.
2. Clean spindle with brush, vacuum,
or compressed air.
3. Apply a light coat of Care and Main-
tenance Spray.
4. Install saw blade and tighten arbor
bolt.
5. Install the table insert.
9.3 Saw storage
A
Danger!
Store saw so that
−
it can not be started by unauthor-
ized persons, and
−
nobody can get injured.
A
Caution!
Do not store saw unprotected
outdoors or in damp environment.
