Setting / Adjustment

4.1 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

4.2 Chip extraction

Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The internal diameter of hose connector 3 (Fig. 3) is
28 mm ( 1 ½ in. ).

4.3 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts along and across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 120 x 1.8 x 20 ( 4 47/64
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 24 teeth
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 120 x 1.8 x 20 ( 4 47/64
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 12 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 120 x 1.8 x 20 ( 4 47/64
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 40 teeth
Order No. see special accessories.

4.4 Replacing the saw blade

Danger

service work.
•
Press the locking bolt 8 (Fig. 2).
•
Using the Allen-key 5 (brackets Fig. 1), unfasten
the flange screw 18 (Fig. 3) counter clockwise;
remove the screw as well as the front clamping
flange 12.
•
Now you can remove the saw blade after
opening the retractable saw guard 13.
•
The clamping flanges must be free of adhering
parts.
•
Pay attention to the sense of rotation when

4.5 Riving knife/splitter

Danger

service work.
The riving knife / splitter 15 (Fig. 3) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in (Fig. 7).
•
For adjustment, unfasten the screw 16 (Fig. 3)
with the Allen-key supplied with the saw 5 (Fig.
