5.4 Assembling the saw (Fig. 1-3, 10-13)
•
Operate the saw only on a level surface
where it can stand firmly. Use the 4 mounting
holes (5) to fasten the saw on a workbench
for example. (Suitable fasteners are available
from your your specialist dealer.)
•
The clamping device (21) can be fitted on the
left or right side of the fixed saw table (18).
•
Fit the locking screw (15) to the turntable (12).
•
Fit the workpiece supports (19) on the left
and right side of the fixed saw table (18). To
do so, use the socket head screws (20) and
the hex key (49).
•
To prevent the saw from tilting backwards,
pull out the tilt guard (48) as far it will go at the
rear of the machine.
•
When not in use, the push stick (46) and the
hex key (49) can both be fastened to the saw
as shown in Fig. 13.
5.5 Fitting / changing the blade (Fig. 14-16)
•
Danger! Before you change the blade (6):
Pull out the power plug!
•
Wear work gloves to prevent injury when
changing the blade!
•
Set the saw to crosscut mode (see 5.2).
•
Undo the blade screw (7) by placing the face
spanner (50) on the outer flange (8) and the
hex key (49) on the blade screw (7).
•
Important! Turn the blade screw (7) in the di-
rection of rotation of the blade (see the arrow
on the lateral cover).
•
Remove the blade screw (7) and the external
flange (8).
•
Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fit-

ting the new blade.
•
To enable replacement, the blade (6) must be
passed down and out through the blade gu-
ard for crosscut mode (9). This requires you to
press the release button (2) and lift the blade
guard (9) upwards.
•
Now pass out the old blade (6) and then pass
in the new blade through the blade guard (9)
and onto the inner blade flange.
•
Warning! Note the running direction: the cut-
ting angle of the teeth must point in running
direction, i.e. forwards (see the arrow on the
lateral cover).
•
Refit the outer flange (8) and the blade screw
(7).
•
Tighten the blade screw (7) with the face
spanner (50) and the hex key (49).
Check that all safety devices are in good working
order before you begin working with the saw
again. (Fig. 3/4)
•
Warning! Every time you change the blade,
check that the blade guard for crosscut mode
(9) opens and closes again in accordance
with requirements. Also check that the blade
(6) runs freely in the blade guard (9).
•
Warning! Every time that you change the
blade (6), check to see that it spins freely in
the table insert for crosscut mode (13) in both
perpendicular and 45° angle settings.
•
Warning! A worn or damaged table insert
must be replaced immediately.
•
Set the saw to table mode (see 5.3).
•
Warning! Every time you change the blade,
check that the splitter (40) is positioned cen-
trally behind the blade (6). Check also that
the gap between the blade (6) and the splitter
(40) is set as described in 5.6.
•
Warning! Every time you change the blade
(6), check that it runs freely in the blade guard
for table mode (39).
•
Warning! Every time you change the blade
(6), check that it runs freely in the table insert
for table mode (42).
5.6 Fitting / removing the splitter together
with the blade guard (Fig. 17/18)
•
Set the saw to table mode (see 5.3).
•
Use the hex key (49) to loosen the two socket
head screws (41) by approx. 2 turns.
•
Insert the splitter (40) together with the blade
guard (39) into the gap of the table insert (42)
and down to the very bottom.
•
Make sure that the recesses in the splitter
(40) rest exactly on the two socket head
