To illustrate the further operations required when changing the saw blade more clearly (Photo KS 2) shows the circular saw section of the Emco-Star with the saw table removed. First take off the cover plate and saw arm. This is done by unscrewing the two M 6. - Page 7 - 4 - The removal of the saw blade nut on the saw spindle is illustrated in Photo KS 4 and Sketch l . The spindle must first be secured by insert ing the locking pin M 6.00-24 from above through a transverse hole in the spindle.

Page 10: Mitre Cutting
- 7 - MITRE CUTTING: The circular saw is especially suitable for cutting mitres in flat frame members (see Sketch). The mitre fence, against which the wood is held, must first be set to the re9uired angle. Sketch 9 If many mitre cuts are to be made, a deflector should be fitted. RABBETING ON THE CIRCULAR-SAW: For rabbeting, the ripping fence should be fitted with an extension to its bearing surface (Sketch A). - Page 11 - 8 - When the suw blade has been correctly adjusted, the nut is tightened up firmly using the box spanner while the spindle is held by the locking pin. For grooving, the projection of the saw blade above the table should be e9ual to the desired depth of groove. The groove width will be correct if it is about one-third the width of the wood.
