Assembly
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
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.
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
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.
Prevent dust accumulation at the work-
place. Dusts can easily ignite.
Operation
Operating Modes
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.
