Assembly
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Inserting/changing the saw blade
When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protect-
u
ive gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when
used for prolonged periods of time.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades
with a single lug shank (T shank) or with a 1/4" universal
shank (U shank). The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
Inserting the saw blade (see figures A and E)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
u
A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Push the saw blade receptacle (14) upwards in the direction
of the arrow. Push the saw blade (9), with the teeth in the
cutting direction, into the saw blade receptacle as far as it
will go.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (8).
Precise cuts are only possible if the guide roller (8) fits
closely – but not too tightly – against the back of the saw
blade (ensure that the saw blade (9) is not bent by the guide
roller). If necessary, loosen the screw (18) and slide the
bracket (17) for the guide roller so that the guide roller fits
closely against the back of the saw blade. Retighten the
screw (18).
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 (14) upwards in the direction
of the arrow and remove the saw blade (9).
If the saw blade jams during removal, press the saw blade re-
ceptacle (14) slightly forward (max. 2 mm).
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°. When sawing with the anti-splinter guard, the
base plate (6) must not be moved to the rear for sawing
close to edges.
Push the anti-splinter guard (15) into the base plate (6)
from below (as shown in the figure with the groove facing up-
wards).
Cut Control
Cut Control enables the power tool to be guided precisely
along a cutting line marked on the workpiece. Cut Control
1 609 92A 9H2 | (23.05.2024)
includes the viewing window (10) with cut marks and the
base (11) for securing to the power tool.
Securing Cut Control to the base plate (see figure D)
Firmly insert the viewing window for Cut Control (10) into
the brackets on the base (11). Then push the base together
gently and allow it to click into place in the accessory holder
(16) on the base plate (6).
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.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Insert the dust extraction adapter (4) into an extraction
hose (3) until you hear it click into place. Connect the dust
extraction adapter (4) to the extraction outlet (5) on the
power tool and the extraction hose (3) to a dust extractor
(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).
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have con-
nected the dust extraction system.
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
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Operating modes
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Adjusting the mitre angle (see figures E–F)
The base plate (6) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
