TO FIT SAW BLADE:
Ti It the machine to the "circular-saw" position.
1. The saw guard M 6.19 (Photo DEC 1) is raised
to its highest position and secured by means of
the knurled screw.
2. The circular saw table is raised as far as the
stop permits. To prevent the table jamming in
its highest position, turn the handwheel back
half a turn.
3. The circular-saw cover plate and saw arm
are removed after the two nuts M 6. 00-37 have
been unscrewed. Now use the locking pin to
hold the circular-saw spindle, and remove the
saw blade and al I the washers (see section on
circular-saw). The crank M 6.14 (Photo DEC 2) which is part
of the equipment supplied with the basic machine, is fitted
over the saw spindle in such a way that the 1/4

steel pin on
its end engages in the hole in the reciprocating rod M 6.12.2A.
Now secure the crank to
prevent it rotating by
tightening up the M 14
hexagon nut by means of
the tubu I ar box spanner
M 6.00-30 (Photo DEC 2).
It is then advisable to
rotate the circular-saw
spindle by hand a few
ti mes to make sure that
the saw stroking mecha
nism is working correctly.
While the cover plate is
removed it is advisabfe
