11.5 Cutting particle boards
To prevent the cutting edges from cracking when
working with particle boards, you should not set the
saw blade (4) more than 5 mm greater than the thick-
ness of the workpiece.
11.6 After sawing
1.
Switch off the circular table saw first and then the
suction system. The saw blade continues to run
for a longer time.
2.
Do not remove the cut waste on the saw table until
the saw blade has returned to its resting position.
3. Disconnect the circular table saw from the mains
by pulling the mains plug out of the power socket.
4.
Allow the circular table saw to cool down com-
pletely.
11.7 Removing trapped material
m WARNING! Danger of injury!
Improper handling of the circular table saw may result
in serious injury.
• Switch off the circular table saw immediately and
disconnect the mains plug from the power socket if
the saw blade is jammed in the workpiece or other
blockages occur.
• Use protective gloves and do not touch the saw
blade with your bare hands.
Vibrations can loosen screws and change the posi-
tion of the parallel stop.
11.7 Fitting/replacing the saw blade (fig. 9+12)
m WARNING: Pull out the mains plug and wear
protective gloves.
1.
Remove the saw blade guard (2) (see 9.2).
2. Remove the table inlay (5) by loosening the two
countersunk head screws (23).
3. Insert the Allen key (h) (HX 6) in the screw and
hold the motor shaft in place with the ring span-
ner (f) (size 22).
ATTENTION: Turn the screw in the direction of
rotation of the saw blade. Remove the loosened
screw.
4.
Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw
blade down and off the inner flange at an angle.
5.
Clean the saw blade flange carefully with a wire
brush before installing the new saw blade.
6.
Insert the new saw blade in the reverse sequence
and tighten.
ATTENTION: Observe the running direction,
the cutting angle of the teeth must point in the
running direction, i.e. forwards.
7.
Fit and set the table inlay (5) and the saw blade
guard (2) again (see 9.2+13.2).
8.
Before working with the saw again, check that the
protective devices are functioning properly.

12. Transporting the equipment (fig. 24)
1.
Turn off the power tool before any transport and
disconnect it from the power supply.
2.
Lower the saw blade as far as possible.
3.
Wind up the mains cable.
4.
Always carry the electric tool with at least one oth-
er person. Only lift the machine by the housing.
5.
Protect the power tool from knocks, bumps and
strong vibrations, such as during transport in ve-
hicles.
6.
Secure the power tool against overturning and
sliding.
7.
Never use the safety devices for handling or
transporting purposes.
13. Maintaining the equipment
m WARNING! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance
or service work disconnect the mains power plug!
13.1 General maintenance measures
• Keep protective devices, air vents, suction open-
ings and the motor housing as free of dust and dirt
as possible. Remove shavings and dust with a vac-
uum cleaner and a brush. In addition, blow it out
with low-pressure compressed air.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment im-
mediately after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment.
• In order to extend the service life of the tool, oil the
rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the motor.
13.2 Replacing the table insert (fig. 9)
m WARNING: In the event of wear or damage the
table insert (5) must be replaced; otherwise there is
an increased danger of injury.
1. Remove the two countersunk head screws of the
table inlay (23) using a Phillips screwdriver (not in-
cluded in the scope of delivery).
2. Remove the worn table inlay (5).
3. Installation of the new table inlay takes place in
reverse order.
13.3 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by an electrical specialist. IM-
PORTANT: The carbon brushes must not be replaced
by anyone but an electrical specialist.
