Replacing Insert Plates

(see figure N)
The red insert plates 10 can become worn after
long use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Unscrew the screws 48 using the provided
Phillips screwdriver and remove the old in-
sert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to
the right with the screws 48 so that the saw
blade does not come into contact with the in-
sert plate over the complete length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner
for the left-hand insert plate.

Special Workpieces

When sawing curved or round workpieces,
these must be especially secured against slip-
ping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist be-
tween workpiece, fence and saw table.
