Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can be
found at the end of these instructions. Use only
T-shank saw blades or saw blades with 1/4" uni-
versal shank (U-shank). 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 A1)
Clean the shank of the saw blade before
inserting it. An unclean shank cannot be fas-
tened securely.
If required, remove the dust cover 9 (see "Dust
Cover").
Push the saw blade holder 13 upward in the
direction of the arrow. Insert the saw blade 15
(teeth in cutting direction) to the stop into the
saw blade holder.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that
the back of the saw blade is positioned in the
groove of the guide roller 14.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade.
A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to in-
juries.
Removing the Saw Blade (see figure A2)
Push the saw blade holder 13 upward in the di-
rection of the arrow and remove the saw blade
15.
Saw Blade Storage (see figure B)
Up to six saw blades with lengths to 110 mm
can be stored in the saw blade storage 5. Insert
the saw blades with the T-shank into the recess
of the saw blade storage intended for this. Up to
three saw blades can be placed on top of each
other.
Shut the saw blade storage and slide it to the
stop into the opening of the base plate 6.

Splinter Guard (see figure C)
The splinter guard 16 (accessory) can prevent
fraying of the surface while sawing wood. The
splinter guard can only be used for certain saw
blade types and only for cutting angles of 0°.
When sawing with the splinter guard, the base
plate 6 must not be moved back for cuts that are
close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard 16 from the bottom into
the base plate 6.
"Cut Control"
"Cut Control" enables precise guiding of the
power tool along a cutting line marked on the
workpiece. The "Cut Control" kit includes the
viewing window 11 with cutting marks and the
base 10 for attachment to the power tool.
Attaching "Cut Control" to the Base Plate
(see figure D)
Clamp the "Cut Control" 11 viewing window in-
to the holders of the base 10. Then, lightly press
the base together and allow it to engage into the
lead 17 of the base plate 6.

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.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– 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.
