tiles and diagonal cuts.
1. Hold the water collector in position to the right-hand side of the sliding table.
2. Slide the arms 39 underneath the edges
locate behind the lugs.
3. Tilt the rear of the water collector slightly until the collector snaps in position.
Mounting the Cutting Disc (Fig. F1–F3)
When mounting the saw blade, pay attention that the cutting direction (arrow direction
on the cutting disc) corresponds with the direction of the arrow on the blade guard! The
maximum diameter cutting disc that can be fitted is 254 mm.
Using the hex key 42 supplied, loosen the screw
1. Pull back the rubber side flap 44 and lift the guard
2. Depress the spindle lock button 45 with one hand, then take the supplied spanner
the other hand to loosen the locking nut

by hand until you feel the lock engage. Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the
spindle from turning.
3. Remove the locking nut 47 and the outside flange collar
4. Install the cutting disc with the arrow facing the same way as the arrow on the guard.
5. Replace the outer flange collar 48 . Refer to Material Thickness for proper flange use.
6. Tighten the locking nut 47 by turning clockwise while holding the spindle lock engaged
with your other hand.
7. Put the guard 9 back in position.
8. Tighten the screw 43 on the side of the guard.

WARNING: Never press the spindle lock while the cutting disc is rotating.

Checking and Adjusting the Cutting Depth (Fig. G)
The rim of the cutting disc should always be at least 5 mm below the table surface.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment knob
2. Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc into its lowest position.
3. Tighten the depth adjustment knob
4. Make a dry run by pushing the table entirely through the cutting disc. Check that the
cutting disc does not foul the table.
5. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the depth adjustment knob
b. Loosen the wingnut 49
c. Adjust the cutting depth stop
