Implementation; Maintenance - Scheppach Structo 5.0 Translation From The Original Instruction Manual

• Extension cables must have a minimum cable cross
section of 1.5 square millimeter.
• The power supply should be maximum 16 A.
• In case of connection to the power supply or mov-
ing site the rotary direction should be checked, oth-
erwise the polarity has to be changed (wall mount-
ed connector).
• Therefore screw the phase switcher into the plug
surrounding with a screw driver. (See Fig. 10)
Connections and repairs of the electrical equipment
should only be carried out by an electrical specialist.
In case you have further questions, please specify
the following:
• Motor manufacturer
• Current type of the motor
• Information of the machine type label
• Information of the switch type label
When sending back the motor, always return the com-
plete power unit with switch.

11. Implementation

Please read the safety information before implemen-
tation.
The implementation of the machine is only admiss-
able when protection and safety facilites have been
installed completely.
After connection to the power supply your scheppach
construction circular saw is ready to operate.
Longitudinal cuts, Fig. 11
Use the fence for parallel cuts.
For working smaller work pieces (less than 120 mm)
use the push stick and the low fence side.
Attention: Do not use a defective or broken push stick
or push handle any more (risk of injury).
A defective push stick and push handle must be re-
placed by new ones.
Immediately dispose of any defective parts.
Cross cuts, Fig. 11.1
Use the cross-cutting gauge for cross and angle cuts.
It is ready for use by lifting it onto the saw table.
The setting scale reaches from 0° to 90°.
In order to achieve a precise cut, press the wood
against the fence surface when sawing.
When not used, lower the cross-cutting gauge at the
side.
Wedge-cutting gauge, Fig. 11.2
The cross-cutting gauge is also used for cutting
wedges.
To this purpose, set the swinging part to 0° and fix it
with the adjustment handle.
Place the wood into the recess and saw it carefully
exerting a uniform pressure.
Switch off the machine and remove the wedges.
Caution: Feed the work piece only with your hand on
the cross-cutting gauge. Do not hold the work piece
by hand.
Changing the sawblade, Fig. 12.1 and 12.2
Attention: Pull the power plug!
• Screw out the two upper bolts M 8 (1) from the low-
er sawblade guard.
• Swing down the sawblade guard. Release the ten-
sion nut (M 20, left-hand thread) and fix it with the
holding key (Fig. 12.2).
• Wear gloves to protect your hands.
• Remove the sawblade and fit a now one.
• Only mount a well sharpened, crack-free and not
deformed sawblade.
• Tighten the tension nut, fixing it with the holding key
(left-hand thread!).
• Raise the lower sawblade guard, re-insert the two
bolts M 8 and tighten them.
• After every sawblade change, the riving knife must
be adjusted anew - see Setting the riving knife Fig.

12. Maintenance

Switch the motor off and pull the power plug before
doing any maintenance and cleaning work.
After servicing the machine, all guards and safety
devices must be refitted.
• The construction saw, including the electric motor,
are maintenance-free to a far extent. An exception
are the sawblades, table inserts and brake linings
of the electric motor (approx. 14,200 switching ac-
tions) that are subject to natural wear and tear.
• The sawblade must stop within approx. ten sec-
onds. If necessary, the worn table insert must be
replaced.
• Brake linings may only be replaced by specialists.
Cleaning
Attention: Pull the power plug!
Wear gloves (risk of cutting).
• Always wear goggles for cleaning to protect your
eyes.
• Remove dust and dirt at regular intervals.
• Keep the protective sawblade box clean from scrap
wood and saw dust cloggings.
• For a good cleaning compressed air or a hand
broom are recommended.
• Keep the table surface free from resin.
• Caution: Do not use any cleaning agents on the
plastic parts. We recommend a mild rinsing agent
on a moist cloth.
