neutralised (Fig. ZZ).
4. Retighten the locking screws
61
ensuring that the head automatically goes into the
restposition.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade guard as well as
the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or
workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage of one of thefunctions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards disconnect the
machine from the power supply and follow the instructions given in section Mounting the
Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassembling the sawblade.

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen
collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust
mask when performing thisprocedure.


Dust Extraction

WARNING: Always connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with
relevant regulation regarding dust emission. The air velocity of external connected system
shall be 20m/s +/–2m/s. Velocity to be measured in the connection tube at the point of
connection, with the tool connected but notrunning.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carcinogenic, especially
in connection with wood-treatmentadditives.
• Always use dustextraction.
• Provide for good ventilation of the workspace.
• It is recommended to wear an appropriaterespirator.
NOTE: The dust extraction device must be switched on before operating the saw.
Transporting (Fig. AAA, BBB)
To transport the machine be sure the saw head is safely locked. Please be aware the table is
not suitable to lift the machine up. Always use a fork-lift (manual fork lifts may also be used) for
transporting. For safe lifting set the fork under the lower traverse rails of the leg-stand.
1. Remove all bolts anchoring the machine to the floor. NOTE: Ensure the forks are long
enough to support the legs andmachine.
2. From behind the unit, fully insert the forks under the traverse rails to balance the weight of
the machine as shown in FigureAAA. Avoid contact with the dust chute and main switch
box. FigureBBB shows the unit being moved using a manual forklift.
