Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
u
A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Push the saw blade (10), with the teeth in the cutting direc-
tion, into the saw blade receptacle (13) until it clicks into
place.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (12).
Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose
u
saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Removing the saw blade (see figure B)
Push the saw blade receptacle (13) upwards in the direction
of the arrow and remove the saw blade (10).
Anti-splinter guard (see figure C)
The anti-splinter guard (15) can prevent splintering of the
surface while sawing wood. The anti-splinter guard can only
be used with certain saw blade types and only at a cutting
angle of 0°.
Push the anti-splinter guard (15) into the base plate (9)
from below.
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Hood (accessory) (see figure D)
Fit the hood (16) before you connect the power tool to the
dust extraction system.
Attach the hood (16) to the power tool so that the bracket
locks into place on the safety guard (11).
Remove the hood (16) when working without a dust extrac-
tion system and for mitre/bevel cuts. To do this, pull the
hood forwards off the safety guard (11).
Connecting the dust extraction (accessory)
(see figures E–F)
Fit the extraction outlet (17) in the recesses of the base
plate (9).
1 609 92A 9K1 | (20.06.2024)
Ensure that the cam on the extraction outlet slots into the
corresponding recess of the base plate (9) as shown in the
figure E.
Connect a dust extraction hose (18) to the extraction outlet
(17). Connect the dust extraction hose (18) to a dust ex-
tractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (15).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Operating modes
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Pendulum action settings
The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.
You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation
using the adjusting lever (8).
Level 0
No pendulum action
Level I
Low pendulum action
Level II
Moderate pendulum action
Level III
High pendulum action
The optimum pendulum level for each application can be de-
termined by a practical test. Note the following recommend-
ations:
– Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner
cutting edge.
– Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin ma-
terials (e.g. sheets).
– Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum ac-
tion.
– You can work on soft materials and saw wood using max-
imum pendulum action.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure G)
The base plate (9) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The hood (16) and anti-splinter guard (15) cannot be used
while mitre cuts are being made.
– Push the extraction outlet (17) gently upward and pull it
out of the base plate (9).
– Remove the hood (16) and the anti-splinter guard (15).
