5. Hold the lever (39) firmly in position and
unscrews the clamping nut (40) clockwise.
6. Remove clamping nut (40), outer blade flange
(41) and saw blade from saw spindle.

7. Clean clamping surfaces of saw blade flange
(41) and (42) and saw blade.
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.
8. Push inner saw blade flange (42) onto motor
shaft.
9. Put on a new saw blade (observe direction of
rotation!).
Danger!
Use only saw blades conforming to the
technical specifications stated and to
EN 847-1 – if unsuitable or damaged saw
blades parts are used, parts can be ejected
due to centrifugal force in an explosive-type
manner.
Do not use:
– saw blades which permissible maximum
speed is below the rated no-load speed of
the saw spindle (see "Technical Specifi-
cations");
– saw blades made of high speed steel (HS
or HSS);
– Do not use any saw blades which have a
smaller cutting width or a thicker saw
blade body than the thickness of the
splitting wedge.
– Saw blades with visible damage;
– cut-off wheel blades.
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genuine
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 wobble or run out of
balance and cannot work loose during
operation.
10.Slide on outer blade flange (41).
11.Screw on clamping nut (40) (left-handed
thread!). Turn clamping nut (40) with open-
jawed spanner (27) and, at the same time, pull
the lever of the saw blade lock (39) upwards
until it engages.
12.Hold lever (39) firmly in position and tighten
clamping nut hand-tight by turning anti-
clockwise.
Danger!
– Do not extend arbour bolt tightening
wrench.
– Do not tighten arbour bolt by hitting the
42
wrench.
13.Adjust the splitting wedge according to the
saw blade size.
(for splitting wedge setting, see 7.1)
14.Fasten table insert (4) and lock with screw
(29).
15.Attach blade guard (7).
10.2 Adjusting the blade tilt stop
1. Set the blade tilt stop lever (19) for the angle
range to 0° / 45°.
2. Lock the set angle of inclination by tightening
the clamping lever (18).
3. Check angle of inclination:
– 0° = at right angles to the saw table
– 45° with separate mitre square.
If these angles are not achieved exactly:
4. Release cross-head screw (43) at respective
cam disc and adjust cam plate until the blade
bevel angle in relation to the saw table is
exactly 0°,
(= right angles), or 45°, in the end positions.
5. Retighten cross-head screw at cam plate.
6. After adjusting the stop limitation, readjust
angle scale at front side if necessary.
Note:
To set the bevel angle limitation of -1.5° to 46.5°,
the blade tilt stop lever must be pulled out.
10.3 Machine storage
Danger!
Store the machine beyond the reach of
children. Store the machine such that it
cannot be put into operation by unauthorised
personnel and such that the stationary
machine cannot cause injury.
Caution!
Do not store the saw outdoors, in
unprotected areas or in damp or wet
locations.
10.4 Maintenance
Cleaning the Saw
• Remove chips and saw dust with vacuum
cleaner or brush:
– from saw blade setting guide elements;
– from motor vent slots;
– chip case.
– Height adjustment
– Swivel guide
Before switching ON
Visual check to see if
– distance between saw blade and riving knife is 3
to 8 mm.
– Splitting wedge is in line with saw blade.
Visual check of power cable and power cable
plug for damage; if necessary have damaged
parts replaced by a qualified electrician.
Every time the machine is switched off
Check whether the saw blade overrun exceeds
10 seconds; if the overrun is longer than this,
have the motor replaced by a qualified electrician.
Monthly (if used daily)
Remove saw dust and chips with vacuum or
brush; apply light coat of oil to guide elements:
– Threaded rod and guide rods of blade rise and
fall mechanism;
– Swivel segments.
Every 150 hours of operation
Check all screwed joints, retighten if necessary.

11. Tips and Tricks

• Before cutting a workpiece to size make trial
cuts on pieces of scrap.
• Always place a workpiece on the saw table in
43
such way that it cannot tilt or rock (e.g. always
place a curved board on the table with the convex
19
side up).
• For efficient cutting of same-length cuts, use a
length stop.
• Keep surface of table clean.

12. Troubleshooting Guide

18
Danger!
Before carrying out any fault service or
maintenance work, always:
1.switch machine OFF;
2.Unplug power cable;
3.Wait for saw blade to come to standstill.
Check to see that all safety devices are
operational after each fault service.
Motor does not run
The restart protection is active. If the mains plug
is inserted with the machine switched on, or if the
current supply is restored following an
interruption, the machine does not start up:
• Switch the machine off and back on again.
No mains voltage
• Check cables, plug, outlet and
mains fuse.
Motor overheated, e.g. by a blunt saw blade or
chip build-up in the chip case:
• Remove cause for overheating, let cool off for a
few minutes. Then restart machine.
Speed is not reached
Overload protection: There is a MAJOR reduction
in load speed.
• The motor temperature is too high! Allow the
machine to run at idle speed until it has cooled
down.
Overload protection: There is a SLIGHT reduction
in load speed.
• The machine is overloaded. Reduce the load
before continuing to work.
Specified maximum no-load speed is not reached
- motor not receiving sufficient mains voltage:
• Use a shorter feed line or cable with larger cross
section
2
( 1.5 mm ).
• Have power supply checked by a qualified
electrician.
