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 (17) clockwise as far as possible so that the saw blade (28) is in the highest possible position above the saw table.
Fold the protective cover (6) backwards.
Lift the table insert (8) by the gripping hole (54) and remove it from the tool chamber.
Unscrew the hexagon screw (56) anticlockwise with the ring spanner (35) while holding the clamping flange (55) in place with the hook spanner (36).
Remove the washer (57) and the clamping flange (55).
Remove the saw blade (28).

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 fitting the saw blade, make sure that the cutting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the saw blade) matches the direction of the arrow on the protective cover.

Fit the clamping flange (55), the washer (57) and the hexagon screw (56).
Tighten the hexagon screw (56) clockwise with the ring spanner (35) while holding the clamping flange in place with the hook spanner (36).
Reinsert the table insert (8).
Fold the protective cover (6) forwards.
