Step 4: Wearing protective gloves, remove the saw 

blade and insert the new blade in its place on the 
contact flange. Make sure that the teeth are 
pointing forwards. In case of doubt, check the di-
rectional display printed on the saw blade. 

Step 5: Position the outer saw blade flange with the flat 

side facing the saw blade; then fit the fastening 
screw and hand-tighten (Fig. 3). 

Step 6: Use a hexagon socket wrench to turn the fasten-

ing screw clockwise. Press the saw blade lock 
while doing so, and turn the saw blade support 
with the wrench until you notice it engage. 

Step 7: After the saw blade lock has engaged, tighten 

the fastening screw to final torque by turning 
clockwise.

Step 8: Before operating the saw, make sure that the 

saw blade lock is back in its original position.

7.2 Setting the cutting depth

Adjust the cut so that the saw blade can penetrate the 
entire depth of cut.

Step 1: Lift the cutting depth adjustment lever. 

Step 2: Raise or lower the saw housing until you reach 

the desired cutting depth. You can read off the 
set value at the pointer on the integrated scale. 

Step 3: Push the clamping lever fully down to ensure suf-

ficient clamping.

7.3 Setting the bevel angle

When setting the bevel angle make sure that the saw 
blade can penetrate through the entire material thick-
ness. 

Step 1: Loosen the clamping screws for the bevel angle 

at the front and rear (Fig. 6). 

Step 2: Set the desired bevel angle. 

Detents for bevel angles of 

0°, 15°, 30° and 45°

 are 

provided on the front. If 

other angles

 are required, 

clamp the clamping screw at the desired position 
outside the detents.

Step 3: Firmly tighten the clamping screw on the back.
