Removing the Saw Blade
– Push the locking lever 32 and swing the re-
tracting blade guard 6 to the rear to the stop.
– Loosen the screw 33 with the Phillips screw-
driver 26 provided until the fastening ele-
ment of the retracting blade guard can also
be swung to the rear to the stop.
– Turn the Allen screw 35 with the Allen key 26
provided while at the same time pressing the

Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior
to assembly.
– Place the new saw blade onto the interior
clamping flange 38.
f When mounting the saw blade, pay atten-
tion that the cutting direction of the teeth
(arrow direction on the saw blade) corre-
sponds with the direction of the arrow on
the blade guard!
– Place on the clamping flange 36 and the Allen
screw 35. Press the spindle lock 34 until it
engages and tighten the Allen screw turning
in anticlockwise direction.

tracting blade guard down again.
Operation
f Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Transport Safety
(see figure E)
The transport safety-lock 27 enables easier han-
dling of the machine when transporting to vari-
ous working locations.
Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
– Push the tool arm by the handle 5 down a lit-
tle in order to relieve the transport safety-
lock 27.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 27 completely
outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Push the locking lever 32 and at the same
time move the tool arm by the handle 5
downward.
– Guide the tool arm downward until the trans-
port safety-lock 27 can be pushed complete-
ly inward.
Preparing for Operation
Enlarging the Fence
(see figure F)
For better positioning of especially large profile
strips, a higher fence is necessary. For this pur-
pose, the fence 18 is equipped with four holes
(Ø 6 mm) onto which suitable wood pieces can
be mounted.
f This auxiliary fence may be used only for 0°
mitre cuts. The functions of the machine
(especially of the retracting blade guard)
must not be impaired.
– Screw the wooden pieces (max. height
62 mm) onto the fence rails. The screw
heads must be flush with the wood surface
or countersunk.
