mains plug. Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable.

Inserting/Changing the Saw
B
Blade
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
s
mains plug.
For inserting or changing the saw blade 10, the
s
wearing of protective gloves is recommended.
Inserting the Saw Blade
Insert the saw blade (teeth in the cutting direction) into
the stroke rod 14 until it latches. The SDS clamping
lever 8 springs to the rear and locks the saw blade.
Take care when inserting the saw blade that the rear
edge of the saw blade rests in the groove of the guide
roller 9 .
Ejecting the Saw Blade
To eject the saw blade, turn the SDS lever 8 to the
front in the insertion position. The saw blade is re-
leased and ejected.
Dust/Chip Vacuuming
Dust produced while working can be detrimental to
s
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protec-
tion measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are considered to be carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust protection mask.
Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep
s
the work place clean since material mixtures are
especially dangerous.
Cover Guard
When using a vacuum cleaner, always mount the dust
cover 12 and slide it completely downward.
Attaching: Insert the cover guard from above into the
guide and slide downward until it latches.
Removing: Take hold of the cover guard on the sides
and pull off in the upward direction.
Connection for a Vacuum Cleaner
(Accessory pages)
Connect the vacuum hose 4 (19 mm dia., accessory)
directly to the vacuuming connection piece.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material
to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimen-
tal to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum
cleaner.
