standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Fitting
Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of
u
which is higher than the no-load speed of the power
tool.
Inserting/changing the circular saw blade
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade.
u
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades the maximum permitted speed of
u
which is higher than the no-load speed of the power
tool.
Do not use abrasive wheels as the application tool un-
u
der any circumstances.
Open and close the base plate (3) carefully to prevent
u
injuries and material damage
Only use saw blades that match the specifications
u
given in this operating manual and that are tested and
marked in accordance with EN 847-1
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions.
Choose the saw blade which is appropriate for the material
being sawn in order to prevent the saw teeth overheating
when sawing.
Removing the saw blade (see figure A)
– Maintain enough distance between the power tool and
the workpiece to prevent any damage.
– Hold the power tool by the handle (11).
– Push the unlocking lever (4) for the base plate (3) down.
The base plate opens.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button (12).

Do not press the spindle lock button (12) while the
u
saw spindle is moving. The power tool may become
damaged if this happens.
– Use the hex key (16) to undo the clamping bolt with
clamping flange (15) in rotational direction ➊.
– Remove the saw blade (14) and the mounting flange (13)
from the saw spindle.
Fitting the saw blade (see figure A)
– Maintain enough distance between the power tool and
the workpiece to prevent any damage.
– Hold the power tool by the handle (11).
– Push the unlocking lever (4) for the base plate (3) down.
The base plate opens.
– Clean the saw blade (14) and all the clamping elements
to be fitted.
– Insert the mounting flange (13).
– Place the saw blade (14) on the mounting flange (13).
The cutting direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow
on the saw blade) must match the rotational direction of
the arrow on the saw.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button (12).
– Use the hex key (16) to tighten the clamping bolt with
clamping flange (15) in rotational direction ➋. The tight-
ening torque should be 6–9 Nm, which corresponds to
hand-tight plus ¼ turn.
– Close the base plate (3) again. You will hear it click into
place.
Inserting/replacing the diamond cutting disc
(for applications such as cutting tiles)
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Wearing protective gloves while inserting and repla-
u
cing diamond cutting discs is recommended.
Diamond cutting discs become very hot while work-
u
ing; do not touch them until they have cooled.
Use only diamond-tipped cutting discs. Do not use
u
segmented cutting discs or bonded, reinforced cut-
ting discs.
Open and close the base plate (3) carefully to prevent
u
injuries and material damage
Select a diamond cutting disc
You will find an overview of recommended diamond cutting
discs at the end of these operating instructions.
Removing the diamond cutting disc (see figure A)
– Maintain enough distance between the power tool and
the workpiece to prevent any damage.
– Hold the power tool by the handle (11).
– Push the unlocking lever (4) for the base plate (3) down.
The base plate opens.
– Press and hold the spindle lock button (12).
