- Check whether the saw head returns to its starting position when it is released; replace the
corresponding springs, if necessary.
- Check whether the movable saw blade guard functions.
TIPS:
For long workpieces, use suitable supports at both sides of the machine.
Use an additional mitre and width guide when sawing small pieces (this can be a small
board, which is attached to the guide with screws).
When sawing a warped workpiece, make sure that you position the convex side (namely
the outer side of the curve) of the workpiece against the guide.
Do not saw workpieces that are standing on edge. Always position workpieces flat on the
turntable.
Always keep support surfaces clean; it is above all important to remove resin residues with
a suitable cleaner or maintenance spray.

Changing the saw blade (Fig. 19-21)
HAZARD!
The saw blade may be extremely hot and can cause burns, immediately
after you have stopped sawing. Always led a hot saw blade cool off. Never
clean saw blades with flammable liquids.
This can cause injuries, also when the saw blade is not turning. The
movable saw blade guard must cover the saw blade, whenever you tighten
or release the driveshaft bolt (E1).
Always wear gloves while changing the saw blade.
Set the support arm to 0° (vertical) and tighten the bevelling lock nut.
For removing the topmost sawing table, loosen the corresponding screws. Remove the
sawing table.
To prevent that the saw blade rotates, pull the saw blade lock (D1) forward. Use your hand
at the same time to turn the saw blade slowly, until the saw blade latch is activated.
Loosen the driveshaft bolt (E1) of the saw (left-turning thread).
Remove the shaft bolt (E1) and the outer saw flange (E2) from the saw shaft.
Remove the saw blade (18) from the saw shaft and lift it up to remove it from the machine.
Remove the shaft nut (E4) and the inner saw flange (E3) from the saw shaft.
Clean the surfaces of the following components:
-The saw shaft
-The inner saw flange
-The saw blade
-The outer saw flange
-The shaft nut
-The saw blade guard
HAZARD! Do not use any cleaning products (for instance for removing resin
residues) that have the tendency to cause corrosion on light metals; this
could damage the machine.
Fasten the shaft nut (E4) of the inner saw flange (E3) on the saw shaft.
