Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
f Before any work on the power tool, remove
the battery.
f When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
f When changing the saw blade, take care
that the saw blade holder is free of material
residue, e. g. wood or metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material be-
ing worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can
be found at the beginning of these operating in-
structions. Use only saw blades with single-nose
shank. The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Press the saw blade 1 firmly into the saw blade
holder 3 until it can clearly be heard to engage.
This causes the locking sleeve 4 to turn by ap-
prox. 90° and locks the saw blade.
If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking
sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the direction of the ar-
row until it locks in the open position and a
“click” can be heard. Then press the saw blade
1 into the saw blade holder 3 again.
f
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-
ries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be
turned through 180° (with the teeth pointed up-
wards) and re-inserted again.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
f
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the ma-
chine in such a manner that no persons or
animals can be injured by the ejected saw
blade.
Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the di-
rection of the arrow. The saw blade 1 is ejected.
Dust/Chip Extraction
f Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Operation
Operating Modes
f Before any work on the power tool, remove
the battery.
Pivoting Footplate (see figure D)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2
adapts to the required angular position of the
surface.
Utility Hook (see figure E)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 6 for
hanging it, e. g., to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out
the utility hook 6 to the required position.
f
When the tool is hanging by the utility hook,
ensure that the saw blade is protected
against unintended contact. Danger of inju-
ry.
Fold the utility hook 6 back in again when you
are ready to continue working.
