4.3
Saw blade selection
Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts along and across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 24 teeth
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 16 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 32 teeth

Replacing the saw blade
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Press the locking bolt 2 (Fig. 1).
Using the Allen-key 14 (brackets Fig. 3),
unfasten the flange screw 8 (Fig. 2) counter
clockwise; remove the screw as well as the
front clamping flange 7.
Now you can remove the saw blade after
opening the retractable saw guard 9.
The clamping flanges must be free of adhering
parts.
Pay attention to the sense of rotation when
inserting the saw blade.
Afterwards, mount the clamping flange, attach
the flange screw and tighten it by clockwise
turning.
In doing so, keep the locking bolt depressed.
Do not press the locking bolt 2 (Fig.
1) with the machine running! The
machine may get damaged.
4.5
Riving knife/splitter
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
The riving knife / splitter 5 (Fig. 2) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in Fig. 4.
For adjustment, unfasten the two cylinder-head
screws 4 (Fig. 2) with the Allen-key supplied
with the saw 14 (Fig. 3).
Adjust the riving knife / splitter by shifting it in its
longitudinal slit. Afterwards retighten the two
cylinder-head screws.

Operation
5.1
Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must
be made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular attention to the chapter "Safety
instructions".
5.2
Switching on and off
Switching on: First press the lock-off button 12
(Fig. 3) and then press the switch trigger 13.
Switching off: To switch off, release the switch
trigger.
5.3
Cutting depth adjustment
The cutting depth is continuously variable between 10
and 55 mm ( 3/8 to 2 3/16 in. ).
Proceed as follows:
-
Release the clamping lever 3 (Fig. 1).
The released clamping lever reveals a view of the
depth scale through a recess in the stationary guard.
You can read the set depth off the edge of the recess
that is marked with an arrow.
Set the cutting depth by means of a scissor-like
movement between stationary guard and base
plate.
Retighten the clamping lever.
Always set the cutting depth
approx. 2 to 5 mm (5/64 to 13/64
in.) larger than the material
thickness to be cut.
5.4
Setting for bevel cuts
For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle
between 0 and 45°.
