Noise/Vibration Information
Sound emission values determined according to EN
62841-1
Wear hearing protection!
The vibration level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 62841-1 and may be used to compare one tool with
another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used
for different applications, with different accessories or
insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration
emission may differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should
also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This
may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of
work patterns.
Assembly
Mounting/Replacing the Saw Blade
- Before any work on the machine itself, disconnect
the battery.
- When mounting the saw blade, wear protective
gloves. Danger of injury when touching the saw
blade.
- Only use saw blades that correspond with
the characteristic data given in the operating
instructions.
- Do not under any circumstances use grinding
discs as the cutting tool.
Removal of the Saw Blade (see figure A)
For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place the machine
on the face side of the motor housing.
- Press the spindle lock button 4 and keep it pressed.
- The spindle lock button 4 may be actuated only when
the saw spindle is at a standstill.
Otherwise, the power tool can be damaged.
* With the key 17, unscrew the clamping bolt 18 tur-
ning in rotation direction 1.
* Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.
* Remove the clamping flange 19 and the saw blade
20 from the saw spindle 22.
Mounting the Saw Blade (see figure A)

on the face side of the motor housing.
- Clean the saw blade 20 and all clamping parts to be
assembled.
- Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.
- Place the saw blade 20 on to the mounting flange 21.
The cutting direction of the teeth (direction or arrow on
saw blade) and the direction-of-rotation arrow on the
blade guard 15 must correspond.
- Mount the clamping flange 19 and screw in the clamping
bolt 18 turning in rotation direction 2. Observe correct
mounting position of mounting flange 21 and clamping
flange 19.
- Press the spindle lock button 4 and keep it pressed.
- With the key 17, tighten the clamping bolt 18 turning in
rotation direction 2. The tightening torque is between 6–9
Nm, which corresponds to hand tight plus ¼ turn.
Dust/Chip Extraction
- Before any work on the machine itself, disconnect
the battery.
- Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful
to one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts
can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections 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.
* As far as possible, use a dust extraction system
suitable for the material.
* Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
* It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
- Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Operation
Operating Modes
- Before any work on the machine itself, disconnect the
battery.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)
- Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever 24. For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate 12; for a larger
cutting depth, push the saw toward the base plate 12.
Adjust the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Tighten the clamping lever 24 again.
If the cutting depth cannot be fully adjusted after loosening
clamping lever 24, pull clamping lever 24 away from the
saw and swivel it downward. Release the clamping lever
24 again.
Repeat this procedure until the requested cutting depth
can be adjusted.
If the cutting depth cannot be sufficiently locked after
tightening clamping lever 24, pull clamping lever 24 away
from the saw and swivel it upward. Release the clamping
lever 24 again. Repeat this procedure until the cutting
depth is locked.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Loosen the wing bolts 6. Tilt the saw sidewards. Adjust the
desired measure on the scale 5. Tighten the wing bolts 6
