▪ Slacken the fastening screw (19) until the gap between the fastening plate (20) and the
support surface opposite is approx. 5 mm. Caution! Do not completely undo the fastening
plate (20).
▪ Insert the splitter (5) in the gap, push it right down as far as it goes and then secure it
with the fastening screw (19). Make sure that the splitter has been fitted straight and not
wobbly.
▪ The splitter (5) must be positioned in the centre along an imaginary line extending behind
the saw blade (4), so that it is not possible for the material to get jammed.
▪ The gap between the blade (4) and the splitter (5) should be 5 mm to 8 mm (Fig. 7).
▪ Refit the table insert (6) and the saw blade guard (2) (see 9.2, 9.4).
9.4 Fitting/changing the saw blade guard (Fig. 9)
▪ Mount the saw blade guard (2) on the splitter (5) so that the screw fits through the hole
(18) in the splitter.
▪ Then insert the screw on the saw blade guard (2) through the hole (18) and tighten it.
▪ Important! The maximum depth that the screw can be screwed in has been pre-set at the
factory, so that the saw blade guard (2) is always able to move freely.
Warning! The saw blade guard (2) must always lower to the workpiece
automatically under its own weight.
9.5 Fitting/changing the saw blade (Fig. 10)
Before changing the saw blade: Remove the rechargeable battery from the
equipment!
▪ Wear work gloves to prevent injury when changing the saw blade.
▪ Using the hand wheel (8), set the saw blade (4) to the maximum cutting height.
▪ Remove the saw blade guard, table insert and splitter (see 9.4, 9.2, 9.3).
▪ Undo the screw (15) with a wrench (30) on the screw (15) itself and a second wrench
(31) on the motor shaft to apply counterpressure.
▪ Caution! Turn the screw (15) in the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
▪ Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw blade (4) off the inner flange.
▪ Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fitting the new blade.
▪ Fit and fasten the new saw blade (4) in reverse order.
▪ Important! Note the running direction. The cutting angle of the teeth must point in running
▪ direction, i.e. forwards (see the arrow on the blade guard).
▪ Refit and set the splitter, table insert and saw blade (see 9,3, 9.2, 9.4).
▪ Check to make sure that all safety devices are properly mounted and in good working
condition before you begin working with the saw again.
Warning! Every time that you change the saw blade, check that the saw
blade guard (2) opens and closes again in accordance with requirements.
Also check that the saw blade (4) spins freely in the saw blade guard (2).
Warning! Every time that you change the saw blade (4), check to see that it
spins freely in the table insert (6) in both perpendicular and 45° angle
settings.
