• Turn the flange screw (31) right out and remove the external flange (32).
• Take the blade (7) off the inner flange (38) and pull out downwards.
• Carefully clean the flange screw (31), outer flange (32) and inner flange (38).
• Fit and fasten the new saw blade (7) in reverse order.
• Important! The cutting angle of the teeth, in other words the direction of rotation of the saw blade (7) must co-incide with the direction of the arrow on the housing.
• Move the guide bar (37) into position and tighten the screw (e) again.
• Before continuing your work make sure that all safety devices are in good working condition.
• Important! Every time that you change the saw blade (7), check to see that it spins freely in the table insert (11) in both perpendicular and 45° angle settings.

Using the laser (Fig. 3/19/20)

• To switch on: Move the ON/OFF switch of the laser (34) to the “1” position. A laser line is projected onto the material you wish to process, providing an exact guide for the cut.
• To switch off: Move the ON/OFF switch of the laser (34) to the “0” position.
• Replacing the battery: Switch off the laser (33). Re-move the battery compartment cover (36). Remove the batteries and replace with new batteries (2 x 1.5 Volt Type LR 03 Micro, AAA) Check that the battery terminals are positioned correctly when inserting new batteries. Close the battery compartment (35) again.

Adjusting the laser (Fig. 21)
If the laser (33) ceases to indicate the correct cutting line, you can readjust the laser. To do so, open the screws (38) and set the laser by moving sideways to that the laser beam strikes the teeth of the saw blade (6).

Transport

• Tighten the set screw (26) in order to lock the rotary table (14)
• Activate the release lever (3), press the machine head (4) downwards and secure with the safety pin (23). The saw is now locked in its bottom position.
• Fix the saw’s drag function with the locking screw for drag guide (20) in rear position.
• Carry the equipment by the fixed saw table (15).
• When reassembling the equipment proceed as de-scribed under section 7.

Maintenance

Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or service work disconnect the mains power plug!

General maintenance measures
Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the motor.
When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive products.

Brush inspection
Check the carbon brushes after the first 50 operating hours with a new machine, or when new brushes have been fitted. After carrying out the first check, repeat the check every 10 operating hours.

If the carbon is worn to a length of 6 mm, or if the spring or contact wire are burned or damaged, it is necessary to replace both brushes. If the brushes are found to be usable following removal, it is possible to reinstall them.

Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children. The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30˚C. Store the electrical tool in its original packaging.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.

Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the ap-plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations.

• The product meets the requirements of EN 61000-3-11 and is subject to special connection conditions. This means that use of the product at any freely selectable connection point is not allowed.
• Given unfavorable conditions in the power supply the product can cause the voltage to fluctuate temporarily.
• The product is exclusively intended for use at con-nection points that have a continuous current-carrying capacity of at least 100 A per phase.
• As the user, you are required to ensure, in consulta-tion with your electric power company if necessary, that the connection point at which you wish to operate the product meets the specified requirements.

Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. After a cool- down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again.

Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:

• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.

Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life- threatening due to the insulation
damage.

Check the electrical connection cables for damage regu-larly. Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking „H05VV-F“.

The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.

AC motor

• The mains voltage must be 230 V~

• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-section of 1.5 mm2.
  Connections and repairs of electrical equipment may only be carried out by an electrician.
  Please provide the following information in the event of any enquiries:

• Type of current for the motor

• Machine data – type plate

• Machine data – type plate
