5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 2/Item 12)
•
The safety guard (12) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (10) but
still gives you an unobstructed view of the
cutting area.
•
The safety guard (12) must always be fitted
and in position before starting any sawing
work.
•
The safety guard (12) can be pulled up as
shown in Fig. 2.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 3/Item 10)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or re-
place a saw blade.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Set the selector switch for pendulum action
(7) to position A (see Fig. 11).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Remove the safety guard (12).
•
Press the blade holder (11) and insert the
saw blade (10) into the blade holder (11) as
far as the stop (Fig. 3). The teeth on the saw
blade must be pointing forwards.
•
Allow the blade holder (11) to slide back to
starting position. The saw blade (10) must sit
in the guide roller (9).
•
Check that the saw blade (11) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
•
To remove the saw blade, follow the instruc-
tions above in reverse order.
5.3 Removing the cover (Fig. 4+5/Item 6)
The adjustable soleplate (5) is equipped with a
removable cover (6) to protect sensitive surfaces.
To remove the cover (6), press the two corners
outwards and pull the cover down and off (Fig. 4).
Now push the cover (6) forwards (Fig. 5).
To fi t the cover, proceed in reverse order.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 7)
•
Use the hexagon key (15) to loosen the
screws for the soleplate (13) on the bottom of
the adjustable soleplate (5) (Fig. 7).
•
Pull the soleplate (5) backwards slightly. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum
45° to the left and right.

•
If the soleplate (5) is pushed back to the
front again it will only function in the locking
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are
marked on the graduated scale for the sole-
plate (8) (Figure 1). Move the soleplate into
the required position and refasten the screw
securing the soleplate (13).
•
However, the soleplate (5) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate
(5) to the rear, set the desired angle and re-
fasten the screw securing the soleplate (13).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Fig. 6/Item 4)
•
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner
using the adaptor for dust extraction (4). This
will ensure optimum dust extraction from the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will pro-
tect both the equipment and your own health.
Your work area will also be cleaner and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be dange-
rous. Refer to the section entitled "Safety
information".
•
Fit the adapter (4) as shown in Fig. 6. The
adapter (4) must audibly engage to ensure
that it is secure in the soleplate (5). The adap-
ter for chip extraction (4) cannot be used for
miter cuts.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the adaptor opening (4). Check that the
connections are air-tight.
5.6 Splinter guard (Fig. 7/Item 14)
The splinter guard ensures that the material you
want to cut does not splinter or crack during sa-
wing. Insert it into the soleplate from underneath
as shown in Fig. 7.
Note! The splinter guard can be used only for 0°
cuts and must be removed for miter cuts up to
45°!
5.7 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 8-9)
1. Remove the battery pack (d) from the handle,
pressing the pushlock button (c) downwards
to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(e) into the mains socket outlet. The green
LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-
ger.
