Setting / Adjustment

4.1 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

4.2 Chip extraction

Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inside diameter of hose connector 6 (Fig. 1) is 58
mm (2 9/32 in.).

4.3 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts across the grain in soft and hard wood,
plywood, chipboard and coreboards:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 330 x 3.6 x 30 mm (13 x
9/64 in. x 30 mm), 40 teeth
For cuts along the grain in soft and hardwood:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 330 x 3.2 x 30 mm (13 x
1/8 in. x 30 mm), 24 teeth
For cuts in composite materials:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 330 x 2.6 x 30 mm (13 x
7/64 in. x 30 mm), 54 teeth, alternate tooth with
chamfer

4.4 Replacing the saw blade

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Proceed as follows to replace the saw blade:

Press the stop lever 15 (Fig. 2) to lock the saw
blade.

Place the hexagon head socket wrench that is
available in a bracket on the machine into the
flange screw 4 (Fig. 1) and turn it until the stop
lever has engaged completely. Turn the wrench
counter clockwise to release the flange screw.
Remove the screw and the front clamping flange
5. After opening the rectractable saw guard 1,
you can now remove the saw blade by lifting it
to the front and then pulling it in a downward
direction.

Before mounting the new saw blade, both
clamping flanges must be checked for adhering
parts and cleaned. Pay attention to the sense of
rotation when inserting the saw blade. The saw
blade teeth must point in the same direction as
the arrow on the upper saw guard. Afterwards,
mount the clamping flange, attach the flange
screw and tighten it by clockwise turning. In
doing so, the stop lever can be used in the
same way as when the screw was released.
Do not press the locking bolt 15
(Fig. 2) with the machine running!
The machine may get damaged.

4.5 Riving knife / splitter

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
The riving knife / splitter 2 (Fig. 1) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in Fig. 3.

For adjustment, unfasten the two cylinder-head
screws 3 (Fig. 1) with the hexagon head socket
wrench supplied, adjust the riving knife / splitter
by moving it accordingly in its longitudinal slot
and afterwards retighten the two cylinder-head
screws.
