Work particularly carefully when the saw is
switched on.
Do not tilt or twist the saw blade.
Guards on the saw must not be removed.
After switching off, the saw blade is brought
to a standstill within 3 seconds by the run-
down brake. Only then may the handles be
released.
Never work with a defective run-down brake.
For safe operation (guidance), the breaking
saw should be suspended from a spring bal-
ancer.
4 Assembly
Disconnect the saw from the
mains power supply before all
assembly work.
4.1 Changing the saw blade
Use only original EFA saw
blades!
Insert the retention pin supplied into the saw
blade bore (A) as a twist lock and turn the
saw blade until the retention pin contacts the
safety hood (see Fig. 3 Loosening the saw
blade)
Remove the hex. nut using the single-head
wrench supplied - turn in anti-clockwise di-
rection (arrow B). (see fig. 3)
Fig. 3 Loosening the saw blade
Replace the saw blade. Place the new saw
blade onto the retaining square (see fig. 4).
Fig. 4 Fitting the saw blade
To provide anti-twist protection, insert the
locking pin into the saw blade borehole and
the borehole underneath (A) (see fig. 5).
Tighten the hexagon nut
– turn it clockwise
(arrow B) and tension it with approx. 50 Nm
(see fig. 5).
Fig. 5 Fastening the saw blade
Remove single-head wrench and retention
pin.
Carry out a test run.
4.2 Saw blades
Incorrectly resharpened saw blades reduce
productivity and also constitute considerable
risks for the user.
