12.Push on the outer flange (41) - The flat side
must point towards the tensioning screw with
washer (40)!
13.Put on the tensioning screw with the washer
(40) in anti-clockwise direction (left-hand
thread) and tighten by hand.
14.Lock saw blade: press the locking button (15)
and turn the saw blade with the other hand
until the locking button engages. Hold down
the locking button.
Danger!
– Do not extend the hexagon wrench.
– Do not tighten the tensioning screw by hitting
the hexagon wrench.
15.Firmly tighten the tensioning screw (40) using
the hexagon wrench (17).
16.Check function. Loosen the safety lock (29)
and fold the saw downwards:
– when folding down the retractable blade
guard, it has to provide free access to the saw
blade without touching other parts.
– When folding the saw upwards into the
starting position, the retractable blade guard
has to cover the saw blade automatically.
– Rotate the saw blade manually. You should be
able to rotate the saw blade into any possible
position without touching other parts.
10.2 Table insert change
Danger!
With a damaged table insert (20) there is a risk of
small parts getting stuck between table insert and
saw blade, blocking the saw blade. Replace
damaged table inserts immediately!
1. Remove screws at table insert. If required,
rotate turntable and incline saw head to be
able to reach the screws.
2. Remove table insert.
3. Insert new table insert.
4. Tighten the screws at the table insert.
10.3 Adjust parallel guide/ripping fence
1. Loosen Allen screws (46).
2. Adjust the parallel guide/ripping fence (30) in
such a way that it is exactly perpendicular to
the saw blade when the turntable engages in
the 0° position.
3. Tighten the Allen screws (46).
10.4 Adjust the cutting laser
Danger!
LASER BEAM
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM
You will need a 2.5 mm hexagon wrench for the
adjustment. Place a board with a vertical line at the
parallel guide/ripping fence to see the laser beam
better.
1. Twist the screw (38), thus setting the laser
beam parallel to the saw blade (42).
2. Twist the screw (37) OR (39), thus setting the
laser beam parallel to the saw blade (42) .
3. Twist the screw (37) AND (39), thus adjusting
the clearance to the saw blade (42)
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 if required.
10.5 Cleaning the device
Remove chips and saw dust with vacuum cleaner
or brush from:
– adjustment installations
– controls;
– motor vent slots;
– space under table insert;
– space under turntable (accessible through
openings on the rear);
– cutting laser;
– Cutting line illumination
10.6 Storage of device
Danger!
 Store the device in such a way that it cannot be
put into operation by unauthorised personnel.
 Ensure that the stationary device cannot cause
injury.
Caution!
 Do not store the tool outdoors or in damp
conditions without protection.
10.7 Maintenance
Prior to each use
 Remove saw chips with vacuum or brush.
 Check power cable and power cable plug for
damage; if necessary have damaged parts
replaced by a qualified electrician.
 Check all movable parts if they can be moved
freely across the entire range of movement.
 Check whether that retractable blade guard (7)
works correctly and does not stick. When
folding down, it has to provide free access to the
saw blade without touching other parts. When
folding the saw upwards into the starting
position, it must cover the saw blade
automatically. If damaged or not functioning
correctly, have the device repaired before using.
Regularly, depending on conditions of use
 Check all screwed joints, retighten if necessary.
 Check reset function of the saw head (saw head
has to return to the upper starting position by
means of spring force), if required have spring
replaced.
 Slightly oil guide elements.

11. Tips and Tricks

– Use appropriate supports on the left and right of
the saw for long workpieces.
– When cutting small pieces, use additional guide
(a suitable wooden board attached with screws
to the guide of the device, can be used as
additional guide).
– When cutting a curved (contorted) board (49)
place the convex side at the parallel guide/
ripping fence.
– Do not cut workpiece upright, but flat on the
turntable.
