Changing the saw blade (see figures k1−k4)

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves. This poses a risk of injury.

Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of which is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.

Only use saw blades that match the specifications given in this operating manual and that are tested and marked in accordance with EN 847-1

Only use saw blades that are recommended by the power tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on the material you want to saw. This prevents the saw tooth tips from overheating and the plastic you want to saw from melting.

Removing the saw blade

Turn the crank (18) clockwise as far as possible so that the saw blade (26) is in the highest possible position above the saw table.
Open the clamping lever (37) and pull the protective cover (6) out of the groove on the riving knife (7).
Use a screwdriver to lift the table insert (25) at the front and remove it from the tool chamber.
Turn the clamping nut (46) using the ring spanner (22) while pulling the spindle locking lever (47) until it engages.
Keep pulling the spindle locking lever and unscrew the clamping nut anti-clockwise.
Remove the clamping flange (48).
Remove the saw blade (26).

If required, clean all the parts you want to fit before installing them.

Note: Use sufficiently large saw blades. The radial clearance between the saw blade and the riving knife must not exceed 3−8 mm (max.).

When mounting the saw blade, ensure that the cutting direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow on the saw blade) matches the direction of the arrow on the riving knife.

Fit the clamping flange (48) and the clamping nut (46).
Turn the clamping nut (46) using the ring spanner (22) while pulling the spindle locking lever (47) until it engages.
Tighten the clamping nut by turning it clockwise.
Reinsert the table insert (25).
Refit the protective cover (6).
