•
Undo the interlock (13).
6. Assembly
Important! Always pull out the power plug
before carrying out maintenance, resetting or
assembly work.
6.1 Transport brace / carry-handle (Fig. 1 / 2)
•
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle
(2) and pull out the interlock (13).
•
Slowly raise the saw head (1). Important!
The resetting spring lifts the saw head (1)
automatically. Therefore, do not simply let go
of the handle (2) after cutting, but allow the
saw head (1) to rise slowly by applying slight
counterpressure.
•
Fig. 1 shows the saw head (1) in its upper
position.
•
Whenever you want to transport the machine
you should use the interlock (13) to anchor
the saw head (1) again in its lower position.
•
The saw is equipped with a carry-handle (8)
to make it easier to transport.
6.2 Vise (Fig. 3)
Every workpiece must be fastened in the vise (15)
before it is cut.
•
Flip up the top half of the nut (a).
•
Pull out the spindle (5) far enough for the
workpiece to be clamped between the clam-
ping faces (4/7) of the vise (15).
Note: There is no need to turn the spindle
(5) when the top half of the nut (a) has been
fl ipped up. The spindle (5) can be pulled out
or pushed in to the exact amount required.
•
Push forward the spindle (5) to the point
where the clamping face (4) touches the
workpiece.
•
Flip down the top half of the nut (a) again so
that the spindle (5) and both halves of the nut
engage with each other.
•
Turn the hand crank (6) to safely secure the
workpiece in the vise (15).
6.2.1 Clamping large workpieces (Fig. 4)
To be able to machine large workpieces you
must remove both screws (16/17) and move the
clamping face (7) to the rear onto the holes b and
c. Then the clamping face (7) must be secured
again with the screws (16/17).

6.3 Miter cuts (Fig. 4)
The vise can be swiveled from -15° to 45° in order
to make miter cuts.
•
Slacken the two screws (16/17).
•
Turn the clamping face (7) of the vise (15) to
the required angle.
•
Retighten the screws (16/17).
•
When you clamp the workpiece, the front
clamping face (4) will automatically swing into
the correct position and align itself with the
workpiece in order to ensure that the workpie-
ce is safely fastened.
6.4 Adjusting the stop screw (Fig. 5)
The downward movement of the cutting-off wheel
can be adjusted with the stop screw (21). This is
necessary to compensate wheel wear – as the
cutting-off wheel becomes smaller in diameter it
would no longer be able to cut right through the
workpiece.
•
Undo the lock nut (22).
•
Turn the stop screw (21) in or out as required.
•
Lower the saw head (1) to check whether the
cutting off wheel (11) reaches the clamping
face (7) of the vise (15).
•
Retighten the lock nut (22).
Important!
If you fi t a new wheel some time later, it is essen-
tial to check the adjustment of the stop screw (21)
in order to prevent the wheel from cutting into the
surface on which the equipment is standing.
6.5 Changing the cutting wheel (Fig. 6/7)
•
Pull out the power plug.
•
Move the saw head (1) to its upper position
of rest.
•
Swing up the adjustable guard (3) for the
cutting-off wheel.
•
Press in the shaft lock (9) and turn the cut-
ting-off wheel (11) slowly with the other hand
until the shaft lock (9) engages.
•
Use the supplied universal wrench (20) to
turn out the shaft screw (23) in counterclock-
wise direction.
•
Remove the shaft screw (23), washer, outer
flange (24) and worn cutting-off wheel (11).
•
Install the new cutting-off wheel in reverse
order and tighten.
Important: The fl anges have to be thorough-
ly cleaned prior to mounting the cutting-off
wheel.
•
Note the direction arrow.
•
Use only recommended, reinforced cutting-
off wheels and take care to tighten the shaft
