Replacing the saw blade (Fig. 12.2)
•
Remove the table insert by undoing the two countersunk head screws.
•
Undo the nut with a size 24 wrench on the nut itself and a second fork
wrench (size 13) on the motor shaft to apply counter-pressure.
•
Important! Turn the nut in the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
•
Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw blade off the inner flange by
dropping the blade at an angle.
•
Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fitting the new blade.
•
Mount and fasten the new saw blade 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 splitting wedge (13) and the protective cover.
•
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!
Switch the machine off and disconnect the pow-
er supply unit before making any adjustments or
carrying out maintenance works, or replacing the
saw blade.
Wear gloves when handling the saw blade.
