CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when changing blades. The blade, the clamping flange and the clamping screw get hot.
CAUTION
Check that the blade to be fitted complies with the technical requirements and that it is well sharpened. A sharp saw blade is an essential re- quirement for a perfect cut.
7.1.1Removing the saw blade 2
1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2.Press the drive spindle lockbutton.
3.Turn the saw blade clamping screw with the hex. socket wrench until the locking pin engages fully.
4.Use the hex. socket wrench to release the clamp- ing screw by turning it counterclockwise.
5.Remove the clamping screw from the outer clamping flange.
6.Open the pivoting guard by swinging it to the side and then remove the saw blade.
7.1.2Fitting the saw blade 3
1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2.Clean the mounting flange and the clamping flange.
3.Fit the mounting flange.
4.Open the pivoting guard.
5.Fit the new saw blade (observe the direction of rotation arrow on the blade).
6.Fit the outer clamping flange.
7.Secure the clamping flange by tightening the clamping screw in a clockwise direction. When doing so, press the spindle lockbutton as before (see “Removing the blade”).
8.Before using the power tool, check that the saw blade is securely attached.
7.2Adjusting the riving knife 4
Check to ensure that the riving knife is adjusted correctly. The gap between the riving knife and the teeth of the blade should be no more than 5 mm and the teeth should project no more than 5 mm below the lower edge of the riving knife.
The riving knife prevents the blade sticking when making longitudinal cuts. The saw may therefore be used only when the riving knife is correctly fitted and adjusted.
1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2.Release the hex. socket screw with a hex. socket wrench.
3.Adjust the riving knife as shown in the illustration.
4.Tighten the hex. socket screw with a hex. socket wrench.
7.3Adjusting the cutting depth 5
NOTE
The cutting depth set should always be approx. 5 to 10 mm greater than the thickness of the material to be cut.
The cutting depth can be adjusted stepplessly between 0 and 55/70 mm.
1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2.Place the power tool on a supporting surface.
3.Release the cutting depth adjustment clamping lever
The depth set can be read from the scale at the arrow on the guide.
4.Lift the power tool in a scissor movement and set the desired cutting depth by closing the clamping lever.
7.4Adjusting the cutting angle 6
The power tool can be set to any angle between 0 and 45for bevel cuts. Angles of up to 50° can be set after lifting the angle extender.
1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2.Release the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
3.Pivot the power tool into the desired position or, respectively, lift the angle extender to allow angles up to 50° to be set.
4.Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
7.5Sawing along a line
There is a cutting line indicator for straight cuts or bevel cuts (0° and 45°) at the front section of the base plate of the power tool. This permits precise cuts to be made at the selected cutting angle. The edge of the line indicator corresponds to the inside of the saw blade. The viewing window provides a better view of the cutting line and thus ensures a better cut. Additional cutting line indicators are located at the
