Transport (see figure V)
Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must
be carried out:
– Loosen the locking screw 25 if tightened. Pull the tool arm
completely to the front and tighten the locking screw
again.
– Screw the depth stop 23 all the way up or turn the depth
stop lever 47 in clockwise direction back to the stop.
– Bring the machine into the transport position.
– Remove all accessories that cannot be mounted firmly to
the power tool.
If possible, place unused saw blades in an enclosed con-
tainer for transport.
– Carry the machine by the transport handle 2 or hold it by
the recessed handles 59 on the sides of the saw table.
The power tool should always be carried by two per-
sons in order to avoid back injuries.
When transporting the power tool, use only the trans-
port devices and never use the protective devices.
