A
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to remove
resin residue) that could corrode the light
metal components of the saw; the stability of
the saw would be adversely affected.
7. Fit the inner blade collar –
observe direction of rotation: The chamfered
side must point towards the motor!
8. Fit a fresh saw blade –
observe direction of rotation: if viewed from the
left-hand (opened) side, the indicating arrow on
the saw blade must point in a clockwise direc-
tion!
A
Danger!
Use only suitable saw blades (see "technical
specifications") – 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);
- saw blades with visible damage;
- cut-off wheel blades.
A
Danger!
- Fit saw blade only using genuine parts.
- Do not use loose-fitting reducing rings; the
saw blade could work loose.
- Saw blades have to be fitted such that
they do not wobble or run out of balance
and cannot work loose during operation.
9. swing retractable blade guard fully up.
10. Slide on the outer blade collar –
observe direction of rotation: The chamfered
side must face away from the saw blade!
11. Put washer on.
12. Screw in arbor bolt (left-hand thread!) and
tighten fingertight only.
To lock the saw blade in position, depress the
lock knob and turn the saw blade with the other
hand until the lock engages.
A
Danger!
- Do not extent arbor bolt tightening wrench.
- Do not tighten arbor bolt by hitting on the
wrench.
13. After tightening the arbor bolt, release the lock
knob and turn blade by hand to check if it spins
freely.
14. Swint cover back in plave over arbor bolt and
tighten both screws again.
15. Check functioning. To do so, swing the saw-
head lock down and lower the sawhead:
- The retractable blade guard must release the
saw blade when the sawhead is swung
down, without touching other parts.
- When lifting the saw head up to its rest posi-
tion, the retractable blade guard must auto-
matically cover the saw blade.
Sawhead tilt stop setting
In order to position the sawhead exactly vertically and
at 45° for bevel cuts, the sawhead tilt stops need to be
set:
1. Swing sawhead down and lock with locking pin.
2. Loosen starknob screw for bevel tilt setting at
rear of saw.
3. Set the saw blade to exactly 90° against the
turntable, using a mitre square.
4. If necessary, loosen the counter nut on the 90°
stop screw (56) and set stop screw so that the
sawhead makes contact with it at the exact 90°
position. Retighten counter nut.
