A
Danger!
Unplug before servicing.
– Repair and maintenance work oth-
er than described in this section
should only be carried out by quali-
fied specialists.
– Damaged parts, particularly safety
devices, must only be replaced with
genuine parts. Parts which have not
been tested and released by the
manufacturer can lead to unfore-
seen damage.
– Check that all safety devices are
operational again after each ser-
vice.
8.1 Saw blade change
A
Burn hazard!
Directly after cutting the saw blade can
be very hot – burn hazard! Let a hot
saw blade cool down. Do not clean a
hot saw blade with combustible liquids.
A
Cutting hazard - even when
saw blade is at a standstill!
During loosening and tightening of the
arbor bolt, the retractable blade guard
must encompass the saw blade. Wear
gloves when changing blades.
1. Stop the sawhead in the upper posi-
tion.
2. To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob (93) while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
3. Unscrew the arbor bolt (99) or
clamping module (98) from the saw
spindle (left-hand thread!).
4. Release safety lock, push retracta-
ble blade guard up and hold.
5. Carefully remove outer blade flange
(97) and saw blade from saw spin-
dle and close retractable blade
guard again.
A
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to re-
move resin residue) that could corrode
the light metal components of the saw;
the stability of the saw would be ad-
versely affected.
6. Clean clamping surfaces of:
– saw spindle (95) ,
– saw blade,
– outer blade flange (97) and
– inner blade flange (96) .
A
Danger!
Fit the inner blade flange correctly! Oth-
erwise the saw may be blocked or the
saw blade could work loose!
7. Push the inner blade flange (96) on
as illustrated.
8. Release safety lock, push retracta-
ble blade guard up and hold.
9. Mount new saw blade – observe di-
rection of rotation: viewed from the
left (open) side, the arrow on the
saw blade must correspond with the
direction of arrow
(94) on the blade
cover!
A
Danger!
Use only saw blades with auxiliary
holes conforming to standards and
which are designed for the maximum
speed (see 'Technical Data') – if unsuit-
able or damaged saw blades are used,
parts might be hurled away explosively
by the centrifugal force.
Do not use:
– saw blades made of high speed
steel (HSS);
– damaged saw blades;
– cutoff wheel blades.
A
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genu-
ine parts.
– Do not use loose-fitting reduction
rings; the saw blade could work it-
self loose.
– Saw blades have to be mounted in
such a way that they do not wobble
or run out of balance and cannot
work loose during operation.
10. Close the retractable blade guard
again.
11. Slide on the outer blade flange – the
studs must point in the direction of
the saw blade.
12. Rotate the saw blade until the studs
engage in the auxiliary holes.
For version with arbor bolt (99) :
13. Insert the arbor bolt (left-hand
thread!) and hand-tighten it.
