USE
•
Charging battery
! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
•
Removing/installing the battery 2
•
Mounting saw blade 2
! remove battery from tool
- take hex key A from storage B
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while
you remove blade bolt D by turning hex key A
COUNTERCLOCKWISE (= in same direction as arrow
printed on saw blade)
! push spindle-lock button C only when tool is at a
standstill
- release spindle-lock button C
- remove flange E
! make sure that clamping surfaces H of flanges are
perfectly clean and face the blade
- open lower guard F with lever G and hold it while you
mount saw blade with saw teeth and arrow printed on
saw blade pointing in same direction as arrow on upper
guard
- release lower guard F
- mount flange E
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
tighten blade bolt with hex key 1/8 turn past finger tight
(ensures slippage of saw blade when it encounters
excessive resistance thus reducing motor overload and
saw kickback)
- release spindle-lock button C
•
Adjusting cutting depth (0-61 mm) 7
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
- loosen knob J
- raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator L
- tighten knob J
•
Battery level indicator 8
- press the battery level indicator button AC to show the
current battery level.
•
Adjusting cutting angle (0-50°) 9
- loosen knob M
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale using
indicator N
- tighten knob M
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
•
90° Cutting angle check 9
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 7
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, loosen knob M and use
adjustment screw P as illustrated
•
Line-of-cut indicator Q q
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the
workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the indicator
line concerned
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
! cutting width is determined by width of blade teeth
and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of
cut
•
Dust suction w
For using vacuum cleaner
- connect vacuum cleaner hose to vacuum cleaner
adapter R
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
Dust bag
- mount dust bag AD
Operating the tool
•
- mount battery
- always hold handle S firmly with one hand and handle T
firmly with the other hand
- place tool with front end of foot flat on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into the
workpiece
- switch on tool by first pressing knob W (= safety switch
which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger Y
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard F opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever G only for special cuts such as plunge cuts)
! do not force the tool (apply light and continuous
pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade
tips)
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing
trigger Y
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
