A
Danger!
Fit the inner blade flange correctly! Oth-
erwise the saw may be blocked, or the
saw blade could work loose! The inner
blade flange is positioned correctly
when the spring ring groove points to
the saw blade and the flat side points to
the motor.
7. Put the inner blade flange (90) on
the saw spindle.
8. Release safety lock, push retracta-
ble blade guard up and hold.
9. Mount new saw blade – observe di-
rection of rotation: viewed from the
left (open) side, the arrow on the
saw blade must correspond with the
direction of arrow (89) on the blade
cover!
A
Danger!
Use only suitable saw blades, designed
for the maximum speed (see "Technical
Specifications") – when using unsuita-
ble or damaged saw blades, there is a
risk of parts being hurled away explo-
sion-like by the centrifugal force.
Do not use:
– saw blades made of high speed
steel (HSS);
– damaged saw blades;
– cut-off wheel blades.
A
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genu-
ine parts.
– Do not use loose-fitting reduction
rings; the saw blade could work it-
self loose.
28
– Saw blades have to be mounted in
90
such way that they do not wobble or
run out of balance and can not work
loose during operation.
10. Close the retractable blade guard
again.
11. Slide the outer blade flange on – the
plain side must point towards the
motor!
12. Insert the arbor bolt (left-hand
thread!) and hand-tighten it.
To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob, while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
A
Danger!
– Do not extend arbor bolt tightening
wrench.
– Do not tighten arbor bolt by hitting
on the assembly wrench.
13. Tighten the arbor bolt.
14. Check the function. To do this re-
lease the safety lock and swing the
crosscut saw down:
– The retractable blade guard must
open without touching the saw
blade or any other parts.
– When the saw is being returned
to its starting position the retract-
able blade guard must return au-
tomatically so that the entire saw
blade is covered.
– Turn the saw blade by hand. The
saw blade must turn freely in any
possible sawhead position with-
out touching other parts.

Replacing the Table Insert

A
Danger!
If the table insert is damaged there is a
risk that small parts may become stuck
between table insert and the saw blade,
causing the saw blade to jam. Replace
damaged table inserts immediately!
1. Unscrew the screws on the table in-
sert (91). Rotate the rotating table
and tilt the sawhead if necessary to
reach the screws.
2. Remove the table insert .
3. Put in a new table insert.
4. Tighten the table insert fixing
screws.
9.3

Adjusting the Fence

1. Loosen Allen head screws (92).

2. Adjust fence (91) so that it is exactly
square with the saw blade when the
rotating table is locked in the 0 posi-
tion.
3. Tighten hexagon socket screws
(92).
9.4

Adjusting the laser guide

1. Unscrew and remove the laser cov-
