4. Pull plug (77) from the drive box and

hold the saw spindle with an Allen

key.

5. Loosen the arbor bolt (78) on the

saw spindle using an Allen key (left-

handed thread!).

6. Remove arbor bolt (78) and outer

blade flange (79) from the saw spin-

dle.

7. Hold saw blade (80) from below to

remove from the saw spindle and

move down through the table insert

as follows:

In order to prevent the saw blade

from getting caught when removing,

put it with its front theeth against

the front retractable blade guard.

Then pull the saw blade carefully

down and remove it.

8. Clean clamping surfaces of:

− saw spindle,

− saw blade,

− outer blade flange,

− arbor bolt.

Danger!

• Do not use cleaning agents (e.g.

to remove resin residue) that

could corrode the light metal

components of the saw; the sta-

bility of the saw would be

adversely affected.

9. Fit the new saw blade, observe

direction of rotation (arrow on the

saw blade): Guide saw blade from

below through the table insert and

place on the saw spindle.

In order to prevent the saw blade

from getting caught when fitting, put

it with its rear theeth against the

rear retractable blade guard. Then

guide the saw blade carefully up.

Danger!

• Use only saw blades conforming

to the technical specifications

stated and to EN 847-1 – from

unsuitable or damaged saw

blades parts can be hurled away

explosive-like by centrifugal

force.

• Do not use:

− saw blades made of high

speed steel (HS or HSS);

− saw blades with visible dam-

age;

− cut-off wheel blades.

Danger!

• Mount saw blade only using gen-

uine parts.

• Do not use loose-fitting reducing

rings; the saw blade could work

loose.

• Saw blades have to be mounted

in such way that they do not wob-

ble or run out of balance and can

not work loose during operation.

10. Put outer blade flange (79) on –

the two flanks must fit over the flats

of the saw spindle!

11. Screw in arbor bolt (78) (left-hand

thread!) and tighten with the two

Allen keys firmly.

Danger!

• Do not extend arbor bolt tighten-

ing wrench.

• Do not tighten arbor bolt by hit-

ting the assembly wrench.

• After tightening the arbor bolt, do

not forget to remove the assem-

bly wrenches.

12. Put plug (77) back in the drive box.

13. Check function:

− when raising the sawhead into

the starting position, both seg-

ments of the retractable blade

guard must always return auto-

matically into their starting posi-

tion: when the saw head is

raised, the saw blade must be

covered all around.

− Both segments of the retractable

blade guard must open around

the saw blade, without touching

any other parts.

14. If work is to be continued in "cross-

cut saw mode", the saw blade chip

case must be installed again on the

saw table (see "Crosscut saw

mode")!

9.2 Drive belt tensioning

The drive belt runs between motor and

saw spindle. It needs to be re-tensioned,

if there is more than 5 mm slack at the

centre between the two pulleys.

To check, re-tension and change

1. Lift sawhead and lock in position (as

for crosscut and mitre cuts).

2. Remove the plastic cover (81).

3. Check belt tension by thumb pres-

sure.

If the drive belt needs to be re-ten-

sioned or replaced:

− Loosen the four motor screws by

approx. one turn.
