Hi everyone,
I do not find my manual anymore, and I've looked a bit on the internet and do not find anything. Does someone has that in pdf or whatever?
thanks in advance,

Martin, I checked the site I was reposting other manuals from and they do not have one for the Erika unfortunately. They do have a parts breakdown download if that helps.

Thank you. If you can post this site's URL, it will be useful to have the part name and numbers. And to answer to wrightwoodwork, for now I was trying to open the red protection around the blade to see if I could put a 254mm blade (instead of the 250mm that is delivered with the saw). It is not to gain the 2 more mm, but I had bought a pretty good blade for my previous saw, and it bothers me to not be able to use it. I tried to open it removing the screw I saw, but it still holds in there due to the attachment with the ... "long metal band" that "wind" when the blade go back into place after you've pulled it.. if you see what I mean I tried to just replace the blade without opening anything. And it touch the riving knifes, but really just a little bit. If I could move this just 2 mm it would be ok. How and when I was under there I saw two things I really wonder what they are for. There is some lever that I can turn on the front of this red protection, under the table. But I do not see what it is supposed to do. And just besides this there is another metal rods that can move a bit back and forth but.. what the hell is it for? It is not the stop for the pull move, so? And last but not least, I got the saw with a little problem. The blade angle indicated by the degree scale is correct. but the stops are not. the blade stops on 1° instead of 0, and 46 instead of 45. (or -1 and 44, i'm not sure). So I can put it into the right position using the "-3 / 48°" switch. but it is still annoying. I would have liked to check if I could adjust the stops. (sorry for the weird use of some English words... french speaker here)

OK I'll try to answer some of your questions long metal band" that "wind" when the blade go back into place after you've pulled it.. if you see what I mean The long metal band is what provides the spring return for the push pull mechanism To adjust the riving knife you have to tilt the saw to 45 degrees, on the right hand side of the saw you will see two slots where you can put in the Allen key and loosen the hex nuts holding the riving knife How and when I was under there I saw two things I really wonder what they are for. There is some lever that I can turn on the front of this red protection, under the table. But I do not see what it is supposed to do. And just besides this there is another metal rods that can move a bit back and forth but.. what the hell is it for? It is not the stop for the pull move, so? One of the rods will be the locking mechanism you have to push in to lock the blade to change And last but not least, I got the saw with a little problem. The blade angle indicated by the degree scale is correct. but the stops are not. the blade stops on 1° instead of 0, and 46 instead of 45. (or -1 and 44, i'm not sure). So I can put it into the right position using the "-3 / 48°" switch. but it is still annoying. I would have liked to check if I could adjust the stops. I'm not sure if you can adjust stops bit just Check there isn't some bit of debris stuck that is acting like a stop Here is a vid of changing the blade you should hopefully be able to see what one of the rods is for Read more: mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/post/new/186#ixzz2srHE97qzRead more: mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/post/new/186#ixzz2srFJLpIkRead more: mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/post/new/186#ixzz2srANgFQe
