5. Before starting the equipment
Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making 
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 3/Item 12)
• 
The safety guard (12) protects the user from 
accidentally touching the saw blade (10) but 
still gives you an unobstructed view of the 
cutting area.
• 
The safety guard (12) must always be fitted 
and in position before starting any sawing 
work.
• 
The safety guard (12) can be pulled up as 
shown in Fig. 3.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 4/Item 10)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or 
replace a saw blade.
• 
You can fit or replace saw blades without 
using any other tools.
• 
Set the selector switch for pendulum action 
(7) to position A (see Fig. 11).
• 
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
• 
Remove the safety guard (12). 
• 
Press the blade holder (11) and insert the 
saw blade (10) into the blade holder (11) as 
far as the stop (Fig. 4). The teeth on the saw 
blade must be pointing forwards.
• 
Allow the blade holder (11) to slide back to 
starting position. The saw blade (10) must sit 
in the guide roller (9).
• 
Check that the saw blade (10) is securely 
mounted in the blade holder.
• 
To remove the saw blade, follow the 
instructions above in reverse order.
5.3 Removing the cover (Fig. 5+6/Item 6)
The adjustable soleplate (5) is equipped with a 
removable cover (6) to protect sensitive surfaces. 
To remove the cover (6), press the two corners 
outwards and pull the cover down and off  (Fig. 5). 
Now push the cover (6) forwards (Fig. 6).
To   fi t the cover, proceed in reverse order.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 8) 
• 
 Use the hex key (15) to loosen the screws 
for the soleplate (13) on the bottom of the 
adjustable soleplate (5) (Figure 8).
• 
 Pull the soleplate (5) backwards slightly. The 
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum 
45° to the left and right.
• 
 If the soleplate (5) is pushed back to the 
front again it will only function in the locking 
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which 
are marked on the graduated scale for the 
soleplate (8) (Figure 1). Move the soleplate 
into the required position and refasten the 
screw securing the soleplate (13).
• 
 However, the soleplate (5) is also easily set to 
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate 
(5) to the rear, set the desired angle and 
refasten the screw securing the soleplate 
(13).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Fig. 
7/Item 4)
• 
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner 
using the adapter for dust extraction (4). This 
will ensure optimum dust extraction from 
the workpiece. The benefits are that you will 
protect both the equipment and your own 
health. Your work area will also be cleaner 
and safer.
• 
Dust created when working may be 
dangerous. Refer to the section entitled 
“Safety information”.
• 
Fit the adapter (4) as shown in Fig. 7. The 
adapter (4) must audibly engage to ensure 
that it is secure in the soleplate (5). The 
adapter for chip extraction (4) cannot be used 
for miter cuts.
• 
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner 
onto the adapter opening (4). Check that the 
connections are air-tight.
5.6 Splinter guard (Fig. 8/Item 14)
The splinter guard ensures that the material 
you want to cut does not splinter or crack 
during sawing. Insert it into the soleplate from 
underneath as shown in Fig. 8.
Important! The splinter guard can be used only 
for 0° cuts and must be removed for miter cuts up 
to 45°!
