Operation
Installing and Changing the Saw Blade
Always use a sharp blade recommended by Westfalia.
If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it cuts very slowly or
unsmooth the most common cause is a dull blade.
Blades are consumable items.
Beware when changing blades as they can become hot enough to
burn.
1. Make sure the machine is disconnected from the
power supply.
2. Remove the plastic cap (4) on the safety hood
(Fig. A).
3. Insert the included Allen spanner into the free
end of the drive shaft and press the shaft locking
button (10). Loosen the screw by turning
clock-
wise
(Fig. B).
4. Remove the screw and the associated flange
(Fig. C).
5. Unlock the safety hood and lift it up slightly. Now
you can remove the saw blade (Fig. D).
6. Insert the new saw blade. The direction of the
arrow on the saw blade must be in accordance
with the arrow on the housing. Make sure the
saw blade exactly matches the outer ring of the
inner flange.
7. Reinsert the screw with the outer flange. Lock
the shaft with the button (10) and tighten the
screw by turning
counter clockwise
.
8. Finally, check the correct position of the saw
blade in its slot.
