VI. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after the machine is protected against accidental starting by pulling the mains plug.
Changing the sawblade
The sawblade has to meet the technical specification. Choose a suitable sawblade, according to the cutting operation and according to the
material to be cut.
For high rip cuts:
- use a wide sawblade (e.g. 13mm), coarse teethed.
For narrow curved cuts:
- use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 6mm).
Check sawblade for flaws (cracks, broken teeth, bending) before installation. Do not use faulty sawblades. The sawblade teeth must point in
cutting direction (down). Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades. The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug
is pulled!

22) away from table.
Remove guide rail (E, Figure 9). Release tension on blade by moving tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to the right.

Remove blade through slot (O) in table.
Guide the new blade through table slot (O) leading with the smooth edge.
Place it around the upper and lower wheels and into the upper and lower blade
guides (M,N).
Note: The blade teeth should face the operator, and they should point down
toward the table.
Position the blade to track in the middle of the rubber tires on the wheels (K,L).
Engage tension on the blade by moving quick tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to
the left.
Replace guide rail (E, Figure 9).
Before operating the saw, check that the blade is tracking and has proper ten -
