5.4 Dust removal using a dust removal system
-NOTE-
Use of a dust removal system reduces exposure to dust,
increases safety at the workplace by ensuring better vis-
ibility of the cutting line and helps to keep the workplace
tidy by greatly reducing the amount of dust and wood
en
chips in the working area.
Connect the dust removal system before working with
the tool for long periods when cutting wood or other
materials that may cause considerable dust.
The dust removal hood must be fitted when the tool is
being used with a dust removal system.
5.4.1 Connecting the system
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Fit the dust removal adapter into the opening on the
tool.
3. Push the dust removal adapter toward the tool from
below until it engages.
4. Connect the vacuum cleaner hose to the dust removal
adapter.
5.4.2 Disconnecting the system
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner hose from the dust
removal adapter.
3. Push the dust removal adapter downwards and pull
it out of the tool.
5.5 Dust removal hood
5.5.1 Fitting the dust removal hood
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Push the dust removal hood onto the tool from the
front until it engages.
5.5.2 Removing the dust removal hood
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Tilt the dust removal hood slightly and pull it away
from the tool toward the front.
5.6 Sawdust blower
The blower keeps the cutting line free of dust and chips
by directing a jet of air toward the saw blade.
5.7 Adjusting the orbital action
The four orbital action settings permit cutting perfor-
mance and quality of cut to be adjusted to suit the mate-
rial being cut.
Orbital action adjustment lever is used to set the tool to
one of the four orbital action settings.
Please observe the following recommendations:
The lower the orbital action setting, the finer and clean-
er the cut.
The optimum setting can be determined by making test
cuts.
Setting 0: No orbital action

Setting III: High orbital action
Please refer to the information provided with the saw
blade for details of correct settings.
5.8 Adjusting the stroke rate

blade for details of correct settings.
5.9 Adjusting the cutting angle
5.9.1 Setting the cutting angle
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Remove the dust removal system adapter.
3. Release the screw.
4. Pull the baseplate slightly toward the front of the tool.
5. Set the baseplate to the desired angle according to the
6. Tighten the screw.
5.9.2 Resetting the cutting angle
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Release the screw.
3. Return the baseplate to the 0° position.
4. Push the baseplate back to its original position (toward
5. Tighten the screw.
5.10 Offsetting the baseplate
To facilitate sawing close to edges, the baseplate can be
repositioned as follows:
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Release the screw.
3. Push the baseplate back as far as it will go.
4. Tighten the screw.
5.11 Anti-splinter insert
-NOTE-
The anti-splinter insert cannot be used with certain types
of saw blades (e.g. offset blades).
Use of the anti-splinter insert helps prevent splintering
of the surface when sawing wood materials.
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Press the anti-splinter insert into the baseplate from
5.12 Low-friction baseplate cover
-NOTE-
Use the low-friction baseplate cover to minimize
scratching sensitive materials.
1. Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2. Hook the cover onto the front edge of the baseplate.
3. Press the cover against the baseplate until it snaps into
