Installing And Changing The Saw Blades - Westfalia 56 73 39 Bedienungsanleitung

Installing and Changing the Saw Blade
Always use a sharp blade.
If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it cuts very slowly or
unsmooth the most common cause is a dull blade.
It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is dull. If in doubt use a new
blade.
Blades are consumable items.
Always use blades recommended by Westfalia.
Beware when changing blades as they can become hot enough to
burn.
1. Make sure the unit is not connected to
the power supply.
2. Unscrew the knurled nut (8) and pull the
screw (4) out.
3. Lift the cutting guard (2) off the unit.
4. Insert one hex spanner into the free end
of the drive shaft and the other hex
spanner into the cutting blade retaining
screw. Hold the shaft in place with one
spanner and unscrew the retaining screw
by turning it clockwise.
5. The blade and the mounting rings can
now be removed or inserted.
6. Make sure the rotating direction arrows
on the blade correspond to the arrows on
the housing and all mounting rings are in
place.
7. Hold the shaft in place with one spanner
and tighten the retaining screw by turning
counter clockwise.
8. Reattach the cutting guard. Make sure the nose on the inside of the cutting
guard is inserted into the slot in the housing.
