The saw blade becomes hot when used for long periods.
There is a risk of burning if the blade is touched.
Wear protective gloves.
●
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the mains socket.
●
Place the tool on its baseplate, on a suitable surface.
●
Open the clamping lever as far as it will go.
●
Tip the tool onto the supporting rib provided at the
motor side, so that the saw blade faces upwards and is
easily accessible.
●
Release the clamping nut and clamping flange by turn-
ing in a counter-clockwise direction.
●
Use the manual control to swing the pivoting guard
back and remove the saw blade.
●
Clean the saw blade contact surfaces to remove wood
chips and other foreign material.
●
Check again that the data for the saw blade complies
with the information given in the operating instructions.
●
The saw blade must meet the specification for the tool
with regard to spindle speed, disc thickness, kerf width
and blade diameter.
Use of other saw blades is not permissible.
●
When fitting the new saw blade, take care to ensure
that the direction of rotation arrow on the saw blade cor-
responds to the direction of rotation arrow on the guard.
●
Check that the saw blade is seated correctly.
●
Tighten the clamping nut and clamping flange by hand,
without using any tool, in a clockwise direction.
(Note:
Tightening the nut in excess of this, e.g. by using a
tool, does not increase the safety of the complete sys-
tem, but makes it more difficult to release the clamp-
ing nut later).
●
Stand the tool on its baseplate.
●
Bring the clamping lever back to its original position.
Safety when changing saw blades without the use of
tools
The following design aspects were incorporated in the
tool in order to ensure highest possible safety:
●
The clamping lever cannot be opened when the switch
interlock is depressed, i.e. when the tool is running.
●
The switch interlock cannot be depressed when the
clamping lever is open, i.e. the tool cannot be started.
●
Do not attempt to overcome the interlock by using
tools or applying excessive force.
Adjusting the riving knife
The riving knife should be adjusted when the tool is set
to maximum cutting depth. The thickness of the riving
knife must be less than the width of the kerf cut by the
saw blade and greater than or equal to the thickness of
the steel disc of the blade.
●
Disconnect the supply cord from the mains socket.
●
Use the hex. socket wrench to release the fastening
screws.
●
Adjust the riving knife as shown in the illustration.
7. Accessories
Guides
Sawing using the parallel guide
●
The parallel guide (accessory) is used to make pre-
cise cuts along the edge of the workpiece, thus mak-
ing it possible to cut strips of even width. In addition,
it can be used as an extension to the saw baseplate.
Fitting the parallel guide
●
When fitting the parallel guide, better access can be
achieved by releasing the cutting depth locking lever
and raising the tool as far as it will go. The locking lever
should then be re-engaged to lock the tool at its max-
imum height.
●
Insert the hex. screws through the holes in the base-
plate from the contact surface side so that the thread-
ed sections of the screws are visible from above
●
Place the pressure springs and then the clamping
plates on the screws.
●
Screw the hex. nuts onto the screws. Do not tight-
en the nuts.
●
Slide the rods of the parallel guide into the guide
channels provided in the baseplate until they are under
the clamping plates.
●
Tighten the hex. nuts by hand until they are free of
play.
●
Push the clamping lever onto the hex. nut while
pressing the tab located on the inside of the lever. This
should be done so that the concave surface of the lever
faces to the right and the hex. nut is thus tightened
when the clamping lever is brought into the closed
position.
●
The parallel guide can now be fixed in position by
turning the clamping levers. If a secure hold cannot be
obtained by turning the clamping levers, the clamping
levers should be removed from the nuts, repositioned,
and then re-tightened. The clamping levers can be
removed by pressing the tab positioned on the inside
of the lever. Replace the clamping levers as previous-
ly described (at the outset position or in the middle,
depending on the clamping movement necessary) and
then tighten the levers securely.
●
The parallel guide can be removed at any time by
releasing the clamping levers (the clamping levers and
other clamping parts may remain attached to the tool).
Using the parallel guide
●
Release both clamping levers.
●
Slide the guide to the desired position (dimension)
●
Tighten the clamping levers securely.
The cutting dimension between the circular saw blade
and the parallel guide can be pre-set by making use of
the two notches in the guide rods and the corresponding
scale. The parallel guide can be fitted on either side of
the baseplate. When reversed (edge of the guide fac-
ing upwards), the parallel guide serves as an exten-
sion to the baseplate.
