and the ruler against the chock (2), as shown. Check
whether the chock is positioned at a 90° to the blade.
• If it is necessary to make adjustments, push the chock
forward or back until it is perpendicular to the blade.
Tighten the four chock locking screws (1).
Caution: If the saw has not been used for a long period
of time, check that the blade position to the chock is
correct and adjust it if necessary.
Bevel Angle Position (fig. 14)
• Release the bevel plate by raising the spring grip (1, fig.
12).
• Turn the table left or right to the desired angle.
• Push the locking lever down and release the spring
grip.
Note: The lever can only ratchet in one of the ten preset
positions. The way to lock the table in a different position
is described in the next section.
Adjusting the Bevel Table Quick Lock (fig. 14)
• Press the locking mechanism down and let it ratchet it.
• Turn the chock nut (5) with a 13 mm key to the left as
shown in order to extend the closure arm against the
body of the machine.
• Check the locking mechanism to see if the plate has
been securely ratcheted in.
• Turn the safety nut (6) to the right, as shown, to lock the
mechanism where it is.
Note: For longer materials there are, on the right and left,
pull­out surfaces with hinged chocks.

Maintenance

Warning: For your own safety, switch the motor off and un-
plug the machine before your maintain or lubricate it.
General Maintenance
Wipe sawdust and dust from the machine occasionally with
a rag. Lubricate the rotating parts of the machine once a
month to extend the life of the machine.
Changing the Table Covers (fig. 7)
Warning:
• Always unplug the machine to prevent unintentional
start ups. Remove all small bits of material from the
groove in the table before beginning to saw. The table
cover may be removed for this purpose. It must, how-
ever, be replaced before resumption of sawing.
• Before beginning to saw always check whether the saw
blade can move freely and does not have contact with
the table cover. Such contact can damage the saw blade,
table cover or rotating table.
• In order to remove the table cover, loosen and remove
the six screws (1) on the table cover (2) with a screw-
driver.
• To reinstall the cover, put it back in place and tighten
the six screws once again.
• Check that the saw blade can move freely by moving the
saw blade in the table completely through the intake
slit.
Changing the Battery (fig. 27)
Unplug the machine. Otherwise the machine could start
up unintentionally and cause serious injuries.
• Remove the laser unit from the machine.
• Loosen and remove the two screws, then remove the la-
ser unit cover.
20 english
• Remove the three batteries (fig. 27) and replace them
with new ones.
• Install the laser protective cover again and tighten the
two screws.
Note: The replacement batteries must have a voltage of 1.5
(No. LR 44).
On the occasion of battery replacement, the lid to the bat-
tery unit must be thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft brush or
something similar to this in order to remove all sawdust
and other debris from the casing.
Changing the Belts (fig. 28, 29)
Unplug the machine.
• Loosen the screws (1, fig. 28) and remove the belt cov-
er.
• Turn the screw (2, fig. 29) in an anticlockwise direction
with an Allen key in order to move the motor forwards.
• Exchange the belts.
• Turn the screw (2, fig. 29) in a clockwise direction with
an Allen key in order to move the motor backwards. Do
not over tighten.
• Replace the belt cover and tighten the screws.
Inspecting the Brushes
Check the new motor brushes for the first time after 50
hours of operation. After that, check every 10 hours of op-
eration.
Should the carbon be reduced to 6 mm in length or if the
feather or wire is burned through or damaged, replace both
brushes. Should it be determined when the brushes have
been removed that they can still be used, then they can be
put back into the machine.
