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 reactions 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 containing asbestos may only be machined by
specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material 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 easily ignite.
Hood (see figures F and G)
Fit the hood (12) before you connect the power tool to the dust extraction system.
Position the hood (12) on the power tool so that the two outer brackets engage in the recesses of the housing.
Remove the hood (12) when working without a dust extraction system and for miter cuts. To do this, push the hood
together at the level of the outer brackets and remove it by pulling it forwards.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Push the dust extraction adapter (6) (accessory) onto an extraction hose (7) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (6) to the extraction outlet (8) on the power tool and the extraction hose (7)
to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the antisplinter guard (21).
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
Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally 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 (11).
No pendulum action
Low pendulum action
Moderate pendulum action
High pendulum action
Adjusting the miter angle (see figure H)
The base plate (10) can be swiveled to the right or left to make miter cuts up to 45°.
The hood (12) and anti-splinter guard (21) cannot be used while miter cuts are being made.
– Remove the hood (12) and the anti-splinter guard (21).
– Pull the saw blade storage compartment (9) out of the base plate (10).
– Loosen the screw (24) and push the base plate (10) slightly towards the extraction outlet (8).
The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on the left and right so that the precise miter angle can be
adjusted. Swivel the base plate (10) to the desired position according to the scale (23). Other miter angles can be
adjusted using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (10) towards the saw blade (15) as far as it will go.
