11.2.6 Tightening the drive belt
The drive belt, which is located behind a plastic cover at the right-hand side of the saw head,
must be tensioned when there is more that 8 mm of play (when pushing on the middle
between the two wheels), or if drive power is no longer transmitted.
11.2.7 Checking the tension
 Turn the saw head completely towards the top.
 Set the support arm to 0° (vertical) and tighten the bevelling lock nut.
 Loosen the bolt with which the saw blade guard is attached and then remove the saw
blade guard.
 Release the topmost saw blade screw and remove the topmost sawing table.
 Remove the cover (F1) next to the motor.
 Use your fingers to check the tension of the drive belt through the opening. Tighten the
drive belt if there is more than 8 mm of play (see Paragraph 9.2.8 “Renewed tensioning” in
this regard).
11.2.8 Renewed tensioning (Fig. 23-26)
 Loosen the two screws (J1) between the motor and the support arm.
 For tensioning the drive belt, use the hexagonal screw (K1) to move the motor
backwards.
 Tighten the screws (J1) crosswise while holding the motor in position.
 Replace the topmost saw table and tighten the screws.
 Reinstall the saw blade guard and tighten the screw that fixes the saw blade guard in
position.
 Let the saw head come down completely.
- The moveable saw blade guard must open without touching the saw blade.
- When the saw head returns to the starting position, then the movable saw blade guard
must automatically enclose the saw blade.
- In the topmost starting position of the saw blade, the safety lock of the movable saw guard
must be engaged, so as to prevent an undesirable opening.
- Check the saw blade lock; the saw blade must be able to rotate freely.
11.2.9 Replacing the saw guide (21)
HAZARD!
 If the saw guide has been damaged, then small pieces can become jammed between the
guide and the saw, which can block the saw blade. Immediately replace a defective saw
guide. (Fig. 7).
 Remove the saw guide (13).
 Remove the defective piece by dislodging it with a screwdriver.
 Insert a new piece and click it in position.
 Reinstall the saw guide (13).
