vided socket wrench (B) (Attention, left-hand thread).
• Remove screw and saw blade flange.
• Remove the saw blade carefully. Attention: Danger of
injuries from the saw blade.
• Set the new saw blade on the inner saw blade flange
observing the correct size and rotational direction of
the saw blade.
• Attach the outer saw blade flange and tighten die
screw firmly.
• Set the saw blade cover back to the correct position.
Maintenance
WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch off
and remove the plug from the power source outlet
before maintaining or lubricating your mitre saw.
General Maintenance
Occasionally use a cloth to wipe off chips and dust from
the machine. Oil the rotary parts once a month to extend
the tool life. Do not oil the motor.
Brush Inspection
Check the motor brushes after the first 50 hours of use
for a new machine or after a new set of brushes have
been installed. After the first check, examine them every
10 hours of use.
When the carbon is worn to 6 mm in length or if the
spring or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both
brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after re-
moving, reinstall them.
Electrical connection
The installed electric motor is completely wired
ready for operation.
The customer's connection to the power supply sys-
tem, and any extension cables that may be used,
must conform with local regulations.
Important remark:
The motor is automatically switched off in the event of
an overload. The motor can be switched on again after a
cool ing down period that can vary.
Defective electrical connection cables
Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam-
age.
Possible causes are:
• Pinch points when connection cables are run through
window or door gaps.
• Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying of
the connection cable.
• Cuts resulting from running over the connecting cable.
• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling out
of the wall socket.
• Cracks through aging of insulation.
Such defective electrical connection cables must not be
used as the insulation damage makes them extremely
hazardous.

Check electrical connection cables regularly for damage.
Make sure the cable is disconnected from the mains
when checking.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the regu-
lations applicable in your country.
Single-phase motor
• The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage
specified on the motor's rating plate.
• Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm2, and beyond 25 m at least
2.5 mm2.
• The connection to the mains must be protected with
a 16 A slow-acting fuse.
Only a qualified electrician is permitted to connect the
machine and complete repairs on its electrical equip-
ment.
In the event of enquiries please specify the following
data:
• Motor manufacturer
• Type of current of the motor
• Data recorded on the machine's rating plate
• Data recorded on the switch's rating plate
If a motor has to be returned, it must always be dis-
patched with the complete driving unit and switch.
