OPERATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER!
Prior to all servicing;
1. turn the machine OFF,
2. unplug,
3. wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop.
- Repair and maintenance work other than described
in this section should only be carried out by
qualified specialists.
- Replace defective parts, especially of safety
devices, only with OEM replacement parts. Parts
not tested and approved by the manufacturer can
cause unforeseen damage.
- Check that all safety devices are operational again
after each service.
Saw Blade Change (Fig.19-21)
DANGER!
Q
Right after cutting the saw blade may be very
hot – burning hazard! Let a hot saw blade cool
down. Do not clean a hot saw blade with any
combustible liquids.
Q
Risk of injury, even with the saw blade at
standstill. When loosening and tightening the
arbor bolt (E1), the retractable blade guard must
encompass the saw blade. Wear gloves when
changing blades.
1. Set the track arm holder to 0° (vertical) and tighten
the bevel tilt lock screw.
2. Loosen the nut holding the blade guard and take the
blade guard off. Take upper saw table off.
3. To keep the saw blade from turning, pull the saw
blade lock (D1) forward. At the same time slowly
turn the saw blade by hand until the saw blade lock
engages.
4. Loosen the arbor bolt (E1) on the saw spindle (left-
handed thread).
5. Remove arbor bolt (E1) and outer blade flange (E2)
from the saw spindle.
6. Take saw blade (18) off the saw spindle and lift it up
to remove from the machine.
7. Remove arbor washer (E4) and the inner blade flange
(E3) from the saw spindle.
8. Clean clamping surface of:
- Saw
spindle
- Inner blade flange
- Saw
blade
- Outer blade flange
- Arbor
bolt
- Blade
cover
DANGER!
Do not use any cleaning agents (e.g. to
remove resin residue) which would tend to
corrode the light metal components of the
machine; the stability of the saw could be
compromised.
9. Put the inner blade flange (E3) arbor washer (E4) on
the saw spindle.
DANGER!
Fit the inner blade flange correctly! Otherwise
the saw might jam, or the saw blade might
work itself loose! The inner blade flange is
in the correct position when the chamfered
collar (Q1) points to the right and the spring
ring groove points to the left (Fig.21).
10. Mount the new saw blade (18)- and pay attention
to the direction (the arrow on the saw blade must
point in the same direction as the arrow on the blade
guard)!
DANGER!
Use only saw blades conforming to standards
and which are designed for the maximum
speed (see “Technical specification”).
Do not use:
- Incorrect size blades
- Saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS);
- Damaged saw blades;
- Cut off wheel blades.
DANGER!
- Mount the saw blade using only OEM parts.
- Do not use loose-fitting reduction rings; the
saw blade could work itself loose.
- Saw blades have to be mounted in such way
that they do not wobble and can not work
themselves loose during operation.
11. Install the outer blade flange (E3)
- the two flanks must fit over the flats of the saw
spindle.
12. Insert the arbor bolt (E1) (left-handed thread) and
tighten it with the Allen key fingertight.
DANGER!
- Do not extend the arbor bolt tightening wrench to
get more leverage.
- Do not hit the wrench with a hammer to tighten the
arbor bolt.
