sharpened. A sharp saw blade is an essential re-
quirement for a perfect cut.
7.1.1 Removing the saw blade 2
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Press the drive spindle lockbutton and hold it in
this position.
3. Turn the saw blade clamping screw with the hex.
socket wrench until the locking pin engages fully.
4. Release the clamping screw by turning the
wrench further clockwise.
5. Remove the clamping screw from the outer
clamping flange.
6. Open the pivoting guard by swinging it to the
side and then remove the saw blade.
7.1.2 Fitting the saw blade 3
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Clean the mounting flange and the clamping
flange.
3. Fit the mounting flange.
4. Open the pivoting guard.
5. CAUTION Only use blades which are suitable
for this saw. Observe the direction-of-rotation
arrow on the saw blade.
Fit the new saw blade.
6. Fit the outer clamping flange.
7. Press the drive spindle lockbutton.
8. Fasten the clamping flange with the clamping
screw by turning it anti-clockwise.
9. Before using the power tool, check that the saw
blade is securely attached.
7.2 Adjusting the cutting depth 4
NOTE
The cutting depth set should always be approx. 5 to
10 mm greater than the thickness of the material to
be cut.
The cutting depth can be infinitely adjusted between
0 and 57 mm.
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Place the power tool on a supporting surface.
3. Release the cutting depth adjustment clamping
lever.
The depth setting can be read from the raised
indicator mark at the rear of the blade guard.
4. Lift the power tool in a scissor movement and set
the desired cutting depth by closing the clamping
lever.
7.3 Setting the cutting angle 5
The saw can be set to any angle between 0 and 50|
for bevel cuts.
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Release the cutting angle adjustment clamping
lever.
3. Pivot the power tool to the desired position.
4. Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping
lever.
7.4 Sawing along a line
There is a cutting line indicator for straight cuts or
bevel cuts (0° and 45°) at the front section of the
base plate of the power tool. This permits precise
cuts to be made at the selected cutting angle. The
edge of the line indicator corresponds to the inside of
the saw blade. The viewing window provides a better
view of the cutting line and thus ensures a better cut.
Additional cutting line indicators are located at the
front opening for the saw blade and at the end of the
base plate.
1. Secure the workpiece so that it can not move.
2. Position the workpiece so that the saw blade is
free to move under the workpiece.
3. Check to ensure that the on / off switch on the
power tool is in the “off” position.
4. Fit the battery into the power tool.
5. Place the power tool with the base plate on the
workpiece in such a way that the blade still has
no contact with the workpiece.
6. If the switch-on interlock has been pressed,
switch the power tool on by pressing the on/off
button.
7. Guide the power tool along the cutting line on
the workpiece at a suitable speed.
7.5 Sawing using the rip fence (accessory)
Use of the single arm rip fence allows precise cuts to
be made along the edge of the workpiece, or strips of
even width to be cut.
The rip fence can be fitted on either side of the base
plate.
7.6 Fitting / adjusting the rip fence 6
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Screw the clamping screw into the baseplate,
leaving enough space to slide the rip fence guide
through.
