Assembly

Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade

f Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

f When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-

tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching

the saw blade.

f When changing the saw blade, take care

that the saw blade holder is free of material

residue, e. g. wood or metal shavings.

Selecting a Saw Blade

An overview of recommended saw blades can

be found at the beginning of these instructions.

Use only ½" universal shank saw blades. The

saw blade should not be longer than required

for the intended cut.

Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.

Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A)

Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the di-

rection of the arrow and hold. Push the saw

blade 1 into the saw blade holder 3. Release the

locking sleeve 4 again.

f Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A

loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-

ries.

For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be

turned through 180° (with the teeth pointed up-

wards) and re-inserted again.

Removing the Saw Blade (see figure B)

Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the di-

rection of the arrow and hold. Remove the saw

blade 1.

Dust/Chip Extraction

f Dusts from materials such as lead-containing

coatings, some wood types, minerals and

metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-

ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-

gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-

tions 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.

– Provide for good ventilation of the work-

ing place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-

class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your

country for the materials to be worked.

f Prevent dust accumulation at the work-

place. Dusts can easily ignite.

Operation

Operating Modes

f Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

Pivoting and Retractable Footplate

(see figure C)

Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2

adapts to the required angular position of the

surface.

Depending on the saw blade being used and the

application, the footplate 2 can be moved in

lengthway direction in three steps. Press the re-

lease button for the footplate 9 and slide the

footplate 2 to the required position. Release the

footplate release button 9 and check that the

footplate 2 is firmly latched. Slide the footplate

2 as required until it is firmly latched.
