8. Loosen arbor bolt (61) with Allen
wrench (left-handed thread!).
62
61
9. Remove arbor bolt (61), outer blade
flange (62) and saw blade from the
saw spindle.
10. Clean clamping surfaces of:
 saw spindle,
 saw blade,
 outer blade flange (62),
 inner blade flange (63),
 arbor bolt (61).
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.
11. Mount a fresh saw blade (observe
direction of rotation!).
A
Danger! 
Use only saw blades meeting
the requirements of EN 847-1 (see
"Technical Specifications") – if
unsuitable or damaged saw blades
parts are used, parts can be ejected
due to centrifugal force in an explo-
sive-type manner. 
Do not use:
 saw blades which permissible
maximum speed is below the
rated no-load speed of the saw
spindle (see "Technical Specifica-
tions");
 saw blades made of high speed
steel (HSS);
 Saw blades with visible damage
or deformations;
 cut-off wheel blades.
A

Danger!
 Mount saw blade using only gen-
63
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.
12. Slide outer blade flange (62) on
(oberserve centring on flange).
13. Turn in arbor bolt (61) (left-handed
thread!) and tighten hand-tight only
with the tool supplied.
When doing so, push the saw blade
lock lever (60) up with your thumb to
lock the saw spindle.
A

Danger!
 Do not extend arbor bolt tighten-
ing wrench to get more leverage.
 Do not tighten arbor bolt by hit-
ting on the wrench with a hammer
or similar.
 After tightening the arbor bolt, do
not forget to remove the assem-
bly wrench.
14. Fasten removable table section.
15. Attach blade guard.

Adjusting the scales

After an extended period of operation
and after adjustments, the zero point of
each scale should be checked and read-
justed, if necessary:
1. Loosen all scale fastening screws.
2. Angle scales: 
Loosen the saw's locking devices
and align saw exactly by means of a
try-square. Tighten locking devices
again.
Scales for universal fence: 
Place a ruler of sufficient length
against the left-hand side of the saw
blade across its entire diameter
(observe set of saw teeth or project-
ing carbide tips!).
3. Shift scales until the zero point coin-
cides exactly with the indicated
value.
4. Retighten all scale fastening screws
and make trial cuts to verify settings.

8.3 Adjusting the blade tilt
stop
1. Set the blade tilt stop lever (65) for
the blade tilt range between 0 and
45.
64
2. Set saw blade tilt against the limit
stop.
3. Check blade bevel angle:
 0 = at rigth angles to the saw
table
 45 with a separate mitre square.
If these values are not exactly
matched:
4. Loosen hexagon nut (64) of the
respective cam plate and adjust
cam plate, until the angle of inclina-
tion against the saw table in the stop
position is exactly 0 (= square) and
45, respectively.
5. Retighten the hexagon nut (64) of
the cam plate.
6. After adjusting the stops, the angle
scale at the machine front may need
readjustment.
8.4 Motorhead carriage com-
pensation setting
The compensation of the blade return
action has to be set, so that the motor-
head carriage returns completely on its
own, without hitting the end position and
coming to a sudden stop.
Turn the adjusting screw (66):
clockwise = more damping

counter-clockwise = less damping
