Danger: The laser is activated when the saw blade turns.

Do not look into the beam, even with optical instruments.

Do not remove the warning sign which is attached to the
saw blade cover. Avoid direct eye contact with the light
source.
Note:

The red laser beam appears as a dotted line when

the motor is activated and the saw blade Is in the highest

position. This dotted line allows you to adjust the markings

on the materials with the cutting line of the saw blade.

When the saw blade is brought downward, the protection

is removed and the dotted line becomes a continuous laser
beam.

Laser Warning Sign: Maximum output <1 mW Diodenlaser:
630 – 670 nm. Corresponds to the standard EN608251.

Laser Operation

With the saw blade unit in the most upright position:
•  Place your materials on the mitre box saw.
•  Switch the saw on to activate the laser beam.
•  Make sure that the laser beam and the markings on your

materials are in agreement. (

Warning: do not lower the

saw blade during adjustments.)

• Should the markings on the materials and the laser

beam not agree with each other, switch the machine off,

wait until the blade has come to a complete standstill,
and adjust the position of the materials.

• Switch the saw on and recheck the line.
• Once agreement has been reached, fasten the materials

with a screw vice and carry out the cut.

Changing the Saw Blade (fig. 24, 25, 26)

Warning: In order to prevent an unintentional start up of
the saw, always switch off and unplug the machine be-
fore changing the saw blade. Use correctly sharpened saw
blades. Conform to the maximum speed and the tooth type
indicated on the saw blade. Exchange of saw blades and in-
stallation must be carried out correctly. Only use saw blades
of the type recommended in the operating instructions.

Removal of the Saw Blades

•  Unplug the machine from the power source.
•  Raise the mitre box saw into the upright position.
•  Raise the lower, transparent, plastic saw blade cover into

the most upright position (1, fig. 24).

• While holding onto the lower saw blade cover, release

the screw of the cover (2, fig.24) with a Phillips screw

driver.

• Turn the cover (3) so as to reveal the frame screw (4,

fig.26).

• Put the blade key on the frame screw.
• Find the corrugated closure and hold this steady while

turning the blade in a clockwise direction. The corrugat-

ed closure will click in and adjust the guard. Continue

to hold the closure while turning the key in a clockwise
direction to release the closure.

• Remove the bracing clamp (5, fig. 26) from the bracing

cylinder (6) and the blade (7). Do not remove the inner

cylinder.

• Lift up the transparent, plastic saw blade protection (1,

fig. 24) to the upright position in order to remove the

blade.

Note:

Pay close attention to the parts which you remove

and the way they were installed. Clean any sawdust away
from the cylinders before you install a new blade. The 254
mm blade has a wave hole with a 16 mm reduction piece

in order to assemble it on the saw.

Installing the Saw Blade
Unplug the machine before changing or installing a saw
blade.

• Install a 254 mm saw blade with a 16 mm wave. Please

note that the directional arrow which points in a clock

wise direction and the upper saw blade must be in
agreement on the blade must correspond to each other
and the saw blade teeth have to point down.

• Put the bracing cylinder (4, fig. 26) onto the blade and

the wave. Screw the bracing cylinder (6) to the wave in
an anticlockwise direction. Important: Make sure that
the flat part of the cylinder and the flat part of the wave
shaft lock into each other. Equally, the flat side of the

bracing cylinder must meet the blade.

• Place the blade key into the wave screw.
• Press on the wave closure (5, fig. 25) and hold it tightly

while turning the blade in an anticlockwise direction.

When it clicks in, press the wave closure further down

and turn the bracing screw until it is tight.

• Return the covering plates (3, fig. 24) to their original

position until the slit in the cover is over the screw (2,
fig. 24). While holding on to the lower saw blade lid,
tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver.

Note:

The lower saw blade cover must be in the upright

position in order to achieve access to the covering plate

screw.

• Move the transparent saw blade protection cover (1, fig.

24) down and make sure that nowhere does It make con

tact with the blade.

• See that the wave closure is released so that the blade

can turn freely. Turn the blade until the closure is re-
leased.

Note:

Both cylinder parts must be clean and properly posi

tioned. Put the blade down into the lower table and ensure,
by turning it by hand, that it does not come into contact
with the body of the machine or the mounting table.

Electrical Connections

• Check the electrical connections. Do not use damaged

cables. See the section on electric cables.

• Only an electrical specialist should undertake installa

tion, repairs and maintenance work on the electric con

nections.

• To deal with power malfunctions, switch off the ma

chine. Pull out the plug.

• Switch off the motor when you leave the workplace. Pull

out the plug.

• Even when the machine is only being moved a small

distance, unplug it from external power sources! Before
operating the machine again, plug the machine in prop
