Original instructions
▪ Make sure the power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the name plate with technical
data of the tool.
▪ Always check the position of ON/OFF switch. The
power tool must be connected to the power supply
socket only when this switch is in OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
▪ Make sure that the cord and the plug are in order. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
▪ Always inspect the blade. Use only well grinded
blades. Never use blades with cracks and indents or
HSS-blades.
▪ Check if the blade is tightened reliably and moves
freely.
▪ Check if the mobile guard moves freely.
▪ Make sure the work piece or the material is well se-
cured.
▪ Let the machine operate at no load for 30 seconds.
Replace the blade in case vibrations are observed.

REPLACING THE BLADE

WARNING: Unplug the power tool!
1. Press the spindle lock button (21).
Whilst depressing the spindle lock button (21) using

2. Ensure blade flanges and bolt is clean of sawdust,
grease, etc.
3. Move the lower blade lever (12) anti-clockwise, to lift
the lower guard (20) toward the upper blade guard
(6). While performing this step check the proper func-
tioning of the lower guard spring. (Fig. 2)
4. Make sure the blade teeth and arrow on the blade (1)
point in the same direction as the arrow on the upper
blade guard (6).
5. Slide the new blade (1) through slot in the base plate
(5) and mount it against the inner blade flange (3a) on
the shaft. Make sure the large diameter of the blade
flanges lay flush against the blade (1).
6. Tighten the outer blade flange (3).
First tighten blade bolt (4) to finger tight. Engage
spindle lock button (21).
Whilst depressing the spindle lock button (21), tight-
en blade bolt (4) firmly with the blade spanner sup-
plied with the machine.

sure that:
- The spindle lock button (21) is released;
- The blade (1) rotates freely;
