Risk of injury, even with the blade at standstill. Wear gloves when chang- ing blades.

When fitting a saw blade, observe the direction of rotation!

1.Raise saw blade fully.

2.Remove blade guard.

3.Loosen table insert (61) and remove from table.

7.Clean clamping surfaces of saw spindle and saw blade.

ADanger!

Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to remove resin residue) that could corrode the light metal compo- nents of the saw; the stability of the saw would be adversely affected.

8.Put on a fresh saw blade (observe direction of rotation!).

ADanger!

Use only suitable saw blades (see “Technical Specifications”) – when using unsuitable or damaged blades parts could be explosive-like hurled from it by centrifugal force.

ENGLISH

Do not use:

saw blades which permissible maximum speed is below the rated no-load speed of the saw spindle (see “Technical Specifi- cations”);

saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS);

saw blades with visible damage;

cut-off wheel blades.

ADanger!

Mount saw blade using only gen- uine parts.

Do not use loose-fitting reducing rings; the saw blade could work loose.

Saw blades have to be mounted in such way that they do not wob- ble or run out of balance and can- not work loose during operation.

9.Slide on outer blade collar (63).
