Inserting/changing the circular saw blade
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade.
u
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades that match the specifications
u
given in this operating manual and that are tested and
marked in accordance with EN 847-1
The permitted speed of the application tool must be at
u
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. If accessories run faster than their rated
speed, they may break and fly off.
Do not use abrasive wheels as the application tool un-
u
der any circumstances.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions.

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.
Chip ejector (see figure B)
The chip ejector (4) can turn freely.
An extraction hose with a diameter of 35 mm or a dust/chip
box (29) can be connected to the chip ejector (4).
An extraction hose with snap fasteners can also be connec-
ted to the chip ejector (4). To do so, turn the chip ejector an-
ticlockwise and pull out the adapter. Turn the chip ejector
clockwise to lock it. Insert the extraction hose with snap
fasteners into the chip ejector until it audibly clicks into
place.
To ensure optimum extraction, the chip ejector (4) must be
cleaned regularly.
