Splintering Protector (see figure A)
The splintering protector 16 prevents the splinter-
ing of the surface when sawing in wooden mate-
rials.
Press the splintering protector from below into
the base plate 12.
The splintering protector cannot be
used for certain saw blade types (e.g.,
saw blades with set).
Glide Shoe for Base Plate
The aluminium base plate 12 with a steel inlay
provides the highest possible stability and is in-
tended for the working of metal or insensitive sur-
faces without the use of the glide shoe 13.
For the working of sensitive materials, the glide
shoe 13 prevents the scratching of the surface.
To attach the glide show, hook it onto the base
plate at the front, press it up at the back and latch.
Application Tips
Plunge Sawing
Only soft materials such as wood, aer-
ated concrete, plaster board, etc. may
be worked with the plunge method.
Cut-outs in wood are possible without predrilling
by piercing with the running machine. This re-
quires a certain amount of practice, however, and
is possible only with short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the
workpiece and switch on. Press the machine
firmly against the workpiece and plunge the saw
blade slowly into the workpiece (see figure E).
After reaching the required cutting depth, bring
the machine again to the normal working position
so that the complete surface of the base plate
rests on the workpiece and continue to saw along
the cutting line (see figure F).
After completing the cut, switch off the machine
first and then pull it out of the cut.
Circle cutter/Parallel guide
(Accessory - see Fig. C / D)
With
the
combined
guide 18 you can make circular cut-outs or par-
allel cuts in materials of up to 30 mm thickness.
For tight-radius curves it is best to use a narrow
saw blade.
Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the heat
produced along the cut line when sawing metal.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the plug from the socket!
Always keep the machine and the ventilation
slots clean.
To prevent malfunctions from excessive soil-
ing, materials that produce large amounts of
dust such as plaster board should not be
worked from below or overhead.
To ensure the long-term flawless operation of
the machine, the SDS saw blade holder should
be cleaned regularly. This can be done, for ex-
ample, by lightly tapping the machine with its
foot plate against a flat surface.
In extreme operating conditions (e.g.
when working with non-ferrous metals)
the interior of the machine can become
blocked with cuttings. In such cases it is
recommended to use a stationary ex-
tractor, reduce the cleaning cycles and
connect
an
breaker.
Guide roller 8 should occasionally be checked for
wear and lubricated with a drop of oil. If, after a
long period, it should display extensive wear, it
must be replaced by a professional or at an
authorised BTI Service Station for electric tools.
If the machine should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorised customer
services agent for BTI power tools.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders,
always include the 6 digit order number of the
machine!
WARNING!
Important instructions for connecting a new 3-pin
plug to the 2 wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to
the following code:
strain relief
live = brown
neutral = blue
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the
earth terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the plug is cut off of
the cable of this machine, it must be disposed of
safely and not left unattended.
