8.3.3 Removing the saw blade with pins
1.
To remove the saw blade (23), lift the table insert (27) upwards.
2.
First, release the tension by flipping the tension lever (12) upwards. Continue reducing the tension by turning
clock- wise as required.
3.
Press the support (13) down lightly (see fig. 9).
4.
Pull the saw blade from the upper and lower saw blade mounting (28/31).
8.3.4 Inserting the saw blade with pins
The teeth of the saw blade must always point downwards.
1.
Insert one end of the saw blade (23) through the drilled hole in the table. Insert the pins of the saw blade (23) into
the corresponding recesses of the top and bottom saw blade holder (28/31).
2.
First insert the saw blade (23), in the lower blade holder (31).
3.
Press the support (13) down lightly (see fig. 9).
4.
Check the position of the saw blade pins in the saw blade mountings (28/31).
5.
Tighten the saw blade (23) with the clamping lever (12), by pressing it down again. Check the tension of the saw
blade (23). If the tension is insufficient, it can be increased by turning the lever clockwise. First release the
clamping lever (27).
NOTE
The left side features a storage box (10), which enables you to stow replacement saw blades and the
hexagon wrench.
8.4 Checking the saw blade tension
WARNING
Check the blade tension regularly and after insert- ing a saw blade.
Tension the saw blade after assembly by pressing down on the tension lever (12).
If the blade tension is too low or too high, proceed as follows:
Fold the tension lever (12) upwards.
Turn the tension lever (12) clockwise to increase the tension and anti-clockwise to reduce it.
Press the tension lever down again to engage the setting.
If the tension is correct, the saw blade should produce a light tone when it is plucked, like a string.
8.5 Calibrating the angle scale (fig. 12)
Important
Check the adjustment of the angular scale before you start working with the unit.
1.
To set the saw table, use a 90° bracket (32, not in the scope of delivery). Place this against the saw table and the
saw blade (fig. 12).
2.
Loosen the screw (33) and turn the pointer (34) to the 90° marking.
3.
Make a test cut. Check the angle on the workpiece with a protractor. If necessary, readjust the pointer (34).
8.6 Chip extraction (fig. 13)
ATTENTION:
Only operate the device with an extraction system.
Connect a suitable chip extraction system (not included in the scope of delivery) to the suction connection (16)
(see fig. 13, sample figure).
ATTENTION:
Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.
