Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
u
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.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
u
break.
Removing the saw blade
– Turn the crank (20) clockwise as far as possible so that
the saw blade (33) is in the highest possible position
above the saw table.
– Open the clamping lever (49) and pull the protective
cover (6) out of the groove on the riving knife (7).
– Use a screwdriver to lift the table insert (32) at the front
and remove it from the tool chamber.
– Turn the clamping nut (59) using the ring spanner (15)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (60) until it en-
gages.
– Keep pulling the spindle locking lever and unscrew the
clamping nut anti-clockwise.
– Remove the clamping flange (61).
– Remove the saw blade (33).
Fitting the saw blade
If required, clean all the parts you want to fit before installing
them.
– Place the new saw blade on the mounting flange (62) of
the tool spindle (63).
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
u
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 (61) and the clamping nut (59).
– Turn the clamping nut (59) using the ring spanner (15)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (60) until it en-
gages.
– Tighten the clamping nut by turning it clockwise.
– Reinsert the table insert (32).
– Refit the protective cover (6).
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Transport position and work position of the saw
blade
Transport position
– Remove the protective cover (6), remove the table insert
(32) and place the riving knife (7) in the bottom position.
Reinsert the table insert (32).

– Turn the crank (20) anticlockwise until the teeth of the
saw blade (33) lie below the saw table (17).
– Push the saw table expansion (11) in fully.
Push the clamping handle (18) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Work position
– Position the riving knife (7) in the top position directly
over the centre of the saw blade, insert the table insert
(32) and fit the protective cover (6).
– Turn the crank (20) clockwise until the top teeth of the
saw blade (33) are approx. 3−6 mm above the work-
piece.
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure A)
The saw table expansion (11) increases the width of the saw
table (17) on the right.
– Pull the clamping handle (18) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (11) to the required
length.
– Push the clamping handle (18) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Saw table extension (see figure B)
The saw table extension (10) increases the length of the saw
table (17) to the rear.
– Loosen the locking screw (38) on the left guide rod.
– Pull out the saw table extension (10) to the required
length.
– To fix it in position, tighten the locking screw (38).
You may need to support the saw table extension when
working with heavy workpieces.
Slide carriage (see figure C)
The slide carriage (2) makes it possible to saw workpieces
up to a maximum width of 350 mm.
It also ensures greater sawing precision, in particular when
used in connection with the angle guide (3) (see "Sawing
mitre angles using the slide carriage", page 45).
– Pull the clamping handle (29) for the slide carriage all the
way up.
This makes it possible to move the slide carriage all the
way to the front or back.
Setting mitre and bevel angles
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Setting bevel angles (saw blade) (see figure D)
The bevel angle can be set between -1° and 47°.
– Loosen the locking lever (26) by turning it anticlockwise.
