FITTING/REMOVAL AND SETTING OF THE REAMER
Caution: The distance between the reamer and the saw blade is not to be more than 5 mm. If the reamer is removed e.g. for plunging
then this distance must be reset.
Fitting/removal of the reamer ( ):
1. Release the wing nut on the depth stop and swing the saw to meet the stop. This reveals the fastening screw for the reamer and loosens it.
2. Screw out the fastening screw and remove the reamer.
CAUTION / IMPORTANT: After plunging, the reamer must be refitted before further use.
Setting the reamer ( ):
The distance between the reamer and the saw blade teeth is to be set to 5 mm max. and the gap between reamer and the deepest point
of the saw blade is to be set to 5 mm max.
