Cut as described in section 6.1.
6.4 Miter cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45° (Fig.
1-3, 14)
The crosscut saw can be used to make miter cuts
to the left of 0°-45° and to the right of 0°-45° in
relation to the work surface, with simultaneous
setting of the turntable from 0°-45° to the left or
0°-45° to the right in relation to the stop rail (dou-
ble miter cut).
•
If required, dismantle the clamping device (8)
or mount it on the opposite side of the fixed
saw table (18).
•
Move the machine head (4) to its upper po-
sition.
•
Move the locking lever (20) to its top position
to enable the turntable to be adjusted.
•
While holding the release button (21) pressed
down, turn the turntable (19) and scale poin-
ter (22) to the desired angular setting on the
scale (23).
•
To lock the turntable (19), press the locking
lever (20) down.
•
Move the locking grip (26) to its upper posi-
tion.
•
For a miter angle to the left: Tilt the machine
head (4) to the left until it coincides with the
required angular setting of the scale pointer
(24) on the scale (25).
•
For a miter angle to the right: Tilt the machine
head (4) approx. 10° to the left, press and
hold the release lever (9), swing the machine
head (4) over the 0° line to the right, after ap-
prox. 10° let go of the release lever (9), tilt the
machine head (4) to the right until it coincides
with the required angular setting of the pointer
(24) on the scale (25).
•
Then secure the locking grip (26) again.
•
Cut as described in section 6.1.
6.5 Limiting the cutting depth (Fig. 15)
•
The cutting depth limiter can be activated with
the help of the screw (34).
•
To do so, slacken the screw (34) using a cros-
stip screwdriver, so that the stop plate can be
moved. Then move the stop plate (33) as far
as possible towards the saw blade and retigh-
ten the screw (34) afterwards.
•
The cutting depth can be infinitely adjusted
using the knurled screw (31). To do so, sla-
cken the lock nut (32) and set the required
cutting depth by turning the knurled screw
(31) in or out. Then retighten the lock nut (32)
on the screw (31).
•
Check the setting by completing a test cut.
•
A crosstip screwdriver is not supplied with the
product.
6.6 Sawdust bag (Fig. 2)
The saw is equipped with a sawdust bag (27) for
sawdust and chips.
The sawdust bag (27) can be emptied by means
of a zipper at the bottom.
6.7 Replacing the saw blade (Fig. 1, 16)
•
Before changing the saw blade: Pull out the
power plug!
•
Wear work gloves to prevent injury when
changing the saw blade.
•
Swing the machine head upwards (4).
•
Press the saw shaft lock (5) with one hand
while positioning the hexagon key (45) on the
flange bolt (38) with the other hand. The saw
shaft lock (5) engages after no more than one
rotation.
•
Now, using a little more force, slacken the
flange screw (38) in the clockwise direction.
•
Turn the flange screw (38) right out and remo-
ve the washer (40) and the outer flange (39).
•
Take the blade (7) off the inner flange and
pull out downwards. To do so, move the saw
blade guard (6) up to enable access to the
saw blade.
•
Carefully clean the flange screw (38), washer
(40), outer flange (39) and inner flange.
•
Fit and fasten the new saw blade (7) in rever-
se order.
•
Important! The cutting angle of the teeth, in
other words the direction of rotation of the
saw blade (7) must coincide with the direction
of the arrow on the housing.
•
Check to make sure that all safety devices
are properly mounted and in good working
condition before you begin working with the
saw again.
•
Warning! Every time that you change the saw
blade, check that the saw blade guard (6)
opens and closes again in accordance with
requirements. Also check that the saw blade
(7) spins freely in the saw blade guard (6).
•
Warning! Every time that you change the saw
blade, check to see that it spins freely in the
table insert (16) in both perpendicular and
45° angle settings.
•
Warning! You should replace the table insert
(16) immediately whenever it is worn or da-
maged. To do so, undo the Philips screws in
the table insert (16) and take the table insert
out of the fixed saw table (18). To fit the new
table insert (16), proceed in reverse order.
