should not be used for precision work. Use scrap wood
for saw tests, adjust the bench if neces sary.
Note: The bench should not be on the motor block, this can
cause undesireable noise.

Changing the saw blades
Warning: Switch off the saw and remove the mains supply plug
before installing saw b!ades in order to avoid injuries caused
by unintentiona! activation of the saw.
A. Flat saw blades
A.1 Removing the saw blades, Fig. 7
1 First af all, release the tension via the tensianing tap ta
remave the saw blade.

3 Undo the lower holder. To do this, use the spanner which
you can feed through the saw blade slot.

holders and by pulling it through the access hole in the
bench(Fig.9).
A.2 lnstalling the saw blade

the saw blade slot in the work bench.
Note: In order to avoid tearing or lifting of lightweight work-
pieces, the saw blade teeth should always face down towards
the work bench.
2 Guide the saw blade into the lower holder and fasten the
screws(Fig.9).
3 Guide the other end of the blade into upper holder and
fasten the screws. Push the upper arm of the saw slight-

Note: It is difficult to open the tensioning tap again if the blade
is too tightly tensioned.
Saw blade with pins
Note: The upper and lower holders should not be tightened
too much when using saw blades which have pins. The gap
between the holding blocks must be slightly wider than the
saw blade. After installation, the blade is held in place by the
tensioning device.
