Changing Saw Blades Fig. S
Important:
Use only original saw blades which are well sharpened and free
of cracks and deformities.
Important:
Disconnect power supply plug before changing the saw blade!
1 holding mandrel
2 M 20 left-handed hexagon nuts
• Push panel sizing sliding table forwards; open protective
cover using both hands.
• Insert the holding mandrel (1) into the saw spindle via the
bore hole on the right table half. To unscrew or tighten the
M 20 hexagon nuts (2) the saw spindle is locked using
the holding mandrel.
• Check saw blade running direction.
Important: Saw runs only when protective cover is closed!
Riving Knife Fig T
Unscrew screw (3), insert and lock riving knife. The gap
between saw blade and riving knife (4) must not exceed 8
mm and should be checked each time the saw blade is
changed. The tip of the riving knife should never be set
lower than the base height of the uppermost saw tooth. A
setting of max. 2 mm below the tip of the uppermost saw
tooth is best.
The riving knife is an important safety device which guides
the workpiece and prevents the cutting joint from closing
behind the saw blade and the workpiece from being kicked
backwards. Check the riving knife thickness - refer to the
numbers imprinted on the riving knife. The riving knife
should never be thinner than the body of the saw blade or
thicker than the cutting joint width.
Important!
The suction hood must be lowered onto the workpiece during
every working cycle.
Measuring rod and sliding handle,
Fig. U
• Use the measuring rod when cutting smaller pieces of
work, with a distance of less than 120 mm between saw
blade and stop rail.
• Use the sliding handle when sliding smaller, specially
formed pieces of work. The corresponding sliding wood
slats can be made by you and attached to the sliding
handle.
