3. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Fitting a saw blade
Fig. B
The machine is equipped with a quick fit system.
• Turn the clamping ring (2) of the saw blade
holder as far to the left as possible and hold it
there.
• Place the saw blade in the blade holder.
• Let go of the clamping ring.
• Make sure when changing the saw blade that
the blade holder is free of material debris (such
as splinters of wood or metal).
• Before use, always check that the saw blade is
securely fixed.
Removing the saw blade
• Turn the clamping ring of the saw blade holder
as far to the left as possible and hold it there.
• Remove the saw blade from its holder.
• Let go of the clamping ring.
Adjustment of the guide shoe
Fig. A
When the blade loses its sharpness at some
sections of it’s cutting edge, reposition the
foot plate to use a sharp, unused portion of its
cutting edge. Besides this, the foot plate can
also be used for adjusting maximum saw depth,
especially useful when sawing in hollow walls.
• The footplate can be extended by loosening
the two footplate mounting screws (5) using
the 4 mm hexagon key and then pulling the
footplate out to the required length.
Ensure the footplate adjustment screws are
secure before resuming work.
