knife.

10.2 Saw blade alignment

The saw blade must be exactly parallel
with the edge of the saw table. The di-
stance between the saw blade and the
table edge on the right must not exceed
3 mm.
Adjustment is carried out from the top
with adjusting nuts. Then the settings
made by means of the adjusting nuts
are fixed with two hexagon socket
screws on the underside of the saw:
1. Unscrew the fastening screws (80)
of the table insert and remove the
table insert.
2. Remove blade guard.
3. Raise the swivel box lid slightly and
swing to the side. The swivel box lid
is hinged on the bottom and cannot
come off.
4. Counter-tighten the adjusting nuts
(81) (two on each of the two swivel
segments).
A
Caution!
The adjusting nuts (81) on the two swi-
vel segments should not be tightened
during operation; this ensures that no
mechanical stresses arise during sa-
wing.
5. Lower saw blade fully.
6. Turn the saw over and place it on
the saw table.
7. Loosen two hexagon socket screws
(82) inside the saw about one turn.

10.3 Drive belt tensioning

The drive belt runs between motor and
saw spindle. The drive belt must be re-
tensioned:
– if it gives more than 5 mm;
– if the saw blade continues rotating
for more than 10 seconds after
switch-off.
Checking and re-tensioning
1. Turn the saw over and place it on
the saw table.
