Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain resi-
dual risks cannot be rules out. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the
equipment's construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protec-
tion is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-
rations if the equipment is used over a pro-
longed period or is not properly guided and
maintained.
Limit the operating time.
All stages of the operating cycle must be conside-
red (for example, times in which the electric tools
are switched off and times in which the tool is
switched on but operates without load).
5. Before starting the equipment
Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 3a)
Warning!
Switch off the universal saw and pull out the bat-
tery pack each time before doing any work on the
machine and changing the blade.
Open the cover (Fig. 3a/Item A) by pressing it to-
gether slightly at the front and then swinging it up.
Turn the ring (B) on the blade holder (4) as
shown in Fig. 3a until the blade (6) lets itself be
slipped into the slot of the blade holder (4). When
you now let go of the ring (B) again, the ring (B)
should return to its starting position. If this fails to
happen, try turning the ring (B) by hand into its
starting position.
Now pull on the blade to check whether it is tightly
seated in the holder.
