5.5 Adjusting the splitter (Fig. 19-20)
• Caution! Pull out the power plug.
• The setting of the saw blade has to be checked each time after chan-
ging the saw blade.
• Set the blade (5) to max. cutting depth, move to 0° position and lock
in place (see 6.2).
• Remove the saw blade guard (see 5.3).
• Take out the table insert (6) (see 5.4).
• Slacken the fixing screw (27).
• Push up the splitter (4) up or down until the gap between the splitter
(4) and the saw blade (5) is between 3 and 5 mm.
• The maximum gap of 5 mm must not be exceeded. (Fig. 20)
• Retighten the screw (27) and mount the table insert (6) (see 5.4).
• Remount the blade guard (2) (see 5.3).
5.6 Fitting/replacing the saw blade (Fig. 21)
• Important! Pull out the power plug.
• Dismantle the saw blade guard (2) (see 5.3).
• Remove the table insert by undoing the two countersunk head
screws (see 5.4).
• Undo the nut with a size 24 wrench on the nut itself and a second
fork wrench (size 10) on the drive shaft to apply counter-pressure.
• Important! Turn the nut in the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
• Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw blade off the inner flan-
ge by dropping the blade at an angle.
• Clean the saw blade flange thoroughly with a wire brush before fit-
ting the new saw blade.
• Mount and fasten the new saw blade in reverse order.
• Important! Note the running direction. The cutting angle of the teeth
must point in running direction, i.e. forwards (see the arrow on the
blade guard).
• Refit and set the table insert (6) and the saw blade guard (2). (See 5.3,
5.4)
• Check to make sure that all safety devices are properly mounted and
in good working condition before you begin working with the saw
