Protection class
The values given are valid for nominal voltages [U] 127/220 V. These values can vary in case of lower voltage and models specific countries.
Observe the article number on the type plate of your power tool. The trade names of individual power tools may vary.
Assembly
u Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
u When mounting the saw blade, wear protective 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.
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)
Insert the saw blade 8 (teeth in cutting direction) into the
stroke rod 11 until it latches. The SDS lever 12 automatically
snaps to the rear and the saw blade is locked. Do not
manually press the lever 12 toward the rear, otherwise you
could damage the machine.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that the back of
the saw blade is positioned in the groove of the guide roller 7.
u Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure A2)
u When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in
such a manner that no persons or animals can be
injured by the ejected saw blade.
Turn the SDS lever 12 toward the front in the direction of the
contact protector 9. The saw blade is released and ejected.
Splinter Guard (see figure B)
The splinter guard 13 (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 5
must not be moved back for cuts that are close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard 13 from the bottom into the base
plate 5.

Dust/Chip Extraction
u Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can
cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections 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.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
u Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts
can easily ignite.

Operation

Operating Modes
u Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Orbital Action Settings
The four orbital action settings allow for optimal adaptation
of cutting speed, cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the
material being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 6,
even during operation.
Setting 0 No orbital action
Setting I Small orbital action
Setting II Medium orbital action
Setting III Large orbital action
The optimal orbital action setting for the respective
application can be determined through practical testing. The
following recommendations apply:
– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a
finer and cleaner cutting edge.
