4. Cut workpiece as described under

"Standard Cross Cuts".

8.5 Compound mitre cuts

3 Note:

The compound mitre cut is a combina-

tion of mitre and bevel cuts. This

means the workpiece is cut at an angle

other than 90° against the rear guide

edge and against its surface.

ADanger!

When cutting compound mitres the saw

lade is much more exposed than nor-

mally – increased risk of injury. Always

intain a sufficient distance to the

saw blade.

Starting position:

– Transport locking pin pulled out.

– Sawhead fully raised.

– Deactivate cutting depth limiter.

– Rotary table locked in desired position.

– Track arm holder tilted to desired an-

gle to the workpiece's surface and

locked in

place.

– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.

– Track arm not extended.

Cutting the workpiece:

 Cut workpiece as described under

"Standard Cross Cuts".

8.6 Grooving

3 Note:

Together with the track arm, the cutting

epth limiter makes grooving possible.

With grooving no parting cut is made,

but the workpiece is cut to a certain

depth only.

A Risk of kickback!

When grooving it is especially important

o lateral pressure is applied to the saw

blade. Otherwise the sawhead may be

kicked up abruptly! Use a stock clamp

when grooving. Avoid lateral pressure

on the sawhead.

Starting position:

– Transport locking pin pulled out.

– Sawhead fully raised.

– Sawhead tilted to desired angle

against the workpiece's surface and

locked.

–

Rotary table locked in desired position

– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.

– Track arm not extended.

Cutting the workpiece:

1. Set the cutting depth limiter (44) to

the desired cutting depth and secure

with th

e lock nut (45):

2. Release the safety lock and swing

the sawhead down to check the set

cutting depth:

3. Make a trial cut.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 3 if necessary

until the desi

red cutting depth has

been set.

5. Cut workpiece as described under

"Standard Cross Cuts".

ADanger!

Unplug before servicing.

– Repair and maintenance work other

than described in this section should

only be carried out by qualified spe-

cialists.

– Damaged parts, particularly safety

devices, must only be replaced with

genuine parts. Parts which have not

been tested and released by the man-

ufacturer can lead to unforeseen

amage.

– Check that all safety devices are op-

erational again after each service.

9.1 Saw blade change

ABurn hazard!

Directly after cutting th

e saw blade can

be very hot – burn hazard! Let a hot

saw blade cool down. Do not clean a

hot saw blade with combustible liquids.

ACutting hazard - even when

saw blade is at a standstill!

During loosening and tightening of the

arbor bolt, the retractable blade guard

must encompass the saw blade. Wear

gloves when changing blades.

1. Stop the sawhead in the upper posi-

tion.

2. To keep the saw blade from turning

press the lock knob (25) while at the

same time turning the saw blade by

hand until the blade lock engages.

3. Unscrew arbor bolt (46) on saw

spindle with hex key (left-hand

read!).

4. Release safety lock

(26)

, push retract-

able blade guard

(24)

up and hold.

5. Carefully remove outer blade flange

(47) and saw blade from saw spindle

and close retractable blade guard

again.

ADanger!

Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to re-

move resin residue) that could corrode

the light metal components of the saw;

the stability of the saw would be ad-

versely affected.

6. Clean clamping surfaces of:

– saw spindle (48),

– saw blade,

– outer blade flange (47) and

– inner blade flange (49).

ADanger!

Fit the inner blade flange correctly! Oth-

erwise the saw may be blocked or the

saw blade could work loose! The inner

blade flange is positioned correctly

when the spring ring groove points to

the saw blade and the flat side points to

the motor.

7. Put the inner blade flange (49) on

the saw spindle.

8. Release safety lock, push retracta-

ble blade guard up and hold.

9. Mount new saw blade – observe di-

rection of rotation: viewed from the

lef

t (open) side, the arrow on the saw

blade must correspond with the direc-

tion of arrow

(50)

on the blade cover!

ADanger!

Use only saw blades conforming to

sta

ndards and which are designed for

the maximum speed (see 'Technical

Data') – when unsuitable or damaged

saw blades are used, parts might be

hurled away explosively by the centrifu-

gal force.

Do not use:

– saw blades made of high speed steel

(HSS);

– damaged saw blades;

– cutoff wheel blades.

ADanger!

– Mount saw blade using only genuine

par

ts.

– Do not use loose-fitting reduction

rings; the saw blade could work itself

loose.

– Saw blades have to be mounted in

such a way

that they do not wobble or

run out of balance and cannot work

loose during operation.

10.Close the retractable blade guard

again.

11.Slide the outer blade flange on – the

plain side must point towards the

motor!

12.Insert the arbor bolt (left-hand

thread!) and ha

nd-tighten it.

To keep the saw blade from turning

press the lock knob while at the

same time turning the saw blade by

hand until the blade lock engages.

ADanger!

– Do not extend arbor bolt spanner.

– Do not tighten arbor bolt by hitting the

assembly spanner.

13. Tighten the arbor bolt.

14.Check the function. To do this re-

lease the safety lock (26)

and swing

the crosscut saw down:
