The specifications apply to a rated voltage [U] of 230 V. These specifications may vary at different voltages and in country-specific models.
Assembly
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Inserting/changing the saw blade
When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protect-
u
ive gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when
used for prolonged periods of time.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades
with single lug shank (T shank). The saw blade should not be
longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
u
A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Push the saw blade (11), with the teeth in the cutting direc-
tion, into the saw blade receptacle (15) until it clicks into
place.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (10).
Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose
u
saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the saw blade (see figure B)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the power tool in
u
such a manner that no persons or animals can be in-
jured by the ejected saw blade.

Turn the SDS lever (9) as far as it will go in the direction of
the shock protection guard (13). The saw blade is released
and ejected.
Adjusting the base plate (see figures C−D)
When sawing with a mitre/bevel angle of 0°, if the base
plate (6) is not precisely at a right angle to the saw
blade (11), the base plate will need to be readjusted:
– Insert a saw blade (11) into the saw blade recept-
acle (15).
– Slide the anti-splinter guard (16) into the base plate (6)
from the front.
– Insert an additional short saw blade (11) into the front re-
cess of the anti-splinter guard as shown in the figure C.
– Open the clamping lever (17) of the base plate.
– Turn the screw (18) of the base plate clockwise or anti-
clockwise until both inserted saw blades are in a line one
after the other.
– Close the clamping lever (17) of the base plate.
– Remove the saw blade (11) from the anti-splinter
guard (16).
Glide shoe (see figure E)
The plastic guide plate (5) of the base plate (6) reduces
scratching on sensitive surfaces. Use the steel glide
shoe (19) when machining metal.
Fit the steel glide shoe (19) by sliding it onto the base
plate (6) from the front.
The plastic guide plate (5) should be replaced if it is worn.
