 Bring splitting wedge into transport position.
Proceed as described in chapter 7.1, however
slide the splitting wedge (5) downwards until the
stop (transport position).
 Lower saw blade fully.
 Set saw blade inclination angle to 0° and lock
with clamping lever.
 Wind up mains cable on cable reel.
Only tools with machine stand:
 Raise tool on frame and swing to the rear. Set
up machine on its edge and fold in upper legs.
The red swivel levers must engage again.

10. Care and maintenance

Danger!
Prior to all servicing:
1.Switch machine off.
20
2.Wait until the saw has come to a complete
stop.
3.Disconnect from the power supply.
– Check that all safety devices are operational
again after each service.
– Replace defective parts, especially safety
devices, only with genuine replacement parts.
Parts not tested and approved by the equipment
manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage.
– Repair and maintenance work other than
described in this section should only be carried
out by qualified specialists.
Danger!
With a damaged table insert there is a risk of
small parts getting stuck between table insert
and saw blade, blocking the saw blade.
Replace damaged table inserts immediately!

10.1 Saw blade change

Danger!
Directly after cutting the saw blade can be
very hot – burning hazard! Let a hot saw
blade cool down. Do not clean the saw blade
with combustible liquids.
Risk of injury, even with the blade at
standstill. Wear gloves when changing
blades.
When fitting a saw blade, observe the
direction of rotation!
1. Raise saw blade fully.
2. Remove blade guard (7).
3. Insert the open-end wrench (28) into the
opening of the table insert (4), lift the latter and
remove.
4. Turn the clamping nut (43) of the saw blade
using an open-jawed spanner (29) and, at the
same time, pull the lever of the saw blade lock
(42) upwards , until it engages.
42
5. Hold the lever (42) firmly in position and
unscrews the clamping nut (43) clockwise.
6. Remove clamping nut (43), outer blade flange
(44) and saw blade from saw spindle.
44
43
7. Clean clamping surfaces of saw blade flange
(44) and (45) and saw blade.
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to remove
resin residue) that could corrode the light
metal components of the saw; the stability of
the saw would be adversely affected.
8. Push inner saw blade flange (45) onto motor
shaft.
9. Put on a new saw blade (observe direction of
rotation!).
Danger!
Use only saw blades conforming to the
technical specifications stated and to
EN 847-1 – if unsuitable or damaged saw
blades parts are used, parts can be ejected
due to centrifugal force in an explosive-type
manner.
Do not use:
– saw blades which permissible maximum
speed is below the rated no-load speed of
the saw spindle (see "Technical Specifi-
cations");
– saw blades made of high speed steel (HS
or HSS);
– Do not use any saw blades which have a
smaller cutting width or a thicker saw
blade body than the thickness of the
splitting wedge.
– Saw blades with visible damage;
– cut-off wheel blades.
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genuine
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 wobble or run out of
balance and cannot work loose during
operation.
10.Slide on outer blade flange (44).
11.Screw on clamping nut (43) (left-handed
thread!). Turn clamping nut (43) with open-
jawed spanner (29) and, at the same time,
pull the lever of the saw blade lock (42)
upwards until it engages.
12.Hold lever (42) firmly in position and tighten
clamping nut hand-tight by turning anti-
clockwise.
Danger!
– Do not extend arbour bolt tightening
wrench.
– Do not tighten arbour bolt by hitting the
wrench.

13.Adjust the splitting wedge according to the
saw blade size (46).
(for splitting wedge setting, see 7.1)

14.Insert the table insert (4) and press down
firmly.
15.Attach blade guard (7).
10.2 Adjusting the blade tilt stop
1. Set the blade tilt stop lever (20) for the angle
range to 0° / 45°.
