additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Hood (see figure D)
Fit the hood (16) before you connect the power tool to the
dust extraction system.
Attach the hood (16) to the power tool so that the bracket
locks into place on the safety guard (11).
Remove the hood (16) when working without a dust extrac-
tion system and for mitre/bevel cuts. To do this, pull the
hood forwards off the safety guard (11).
Connecting the dust extraction (see figures E–F)
Fit the extraction outlet (17) in the recesses of the base
plate (9).
Ensure that the cam on the extraction outlet slots into the
corresponding recess of the base plate (9) as shown in the
figure E.
Connect a dust extraction hose (18) (accessory) to the ex-
traction outlet (17). Connect the dust extraction hose (18)
to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-
splinter guard (15).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Operating modes
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Pendulum action settings
The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different
settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the
cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you
want to cut.
You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation
using the adjusting lever (8).
Level 0
No pendulum action
Level I
Low pendulum action
1 609 92A 8WA | (02.11.2023)
Level II
Moderate pendulum action
Level III
High pendulum action
The optimum pendulum level for each application can be de-
termined by a practical test. Note the following recommend-
ations:
– Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner
cutting edge.
– Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin ma-
terials (e.g. sheets).
– Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum ac-
tion.
– You can work on soft materials and saw wood using max-
imum pendulum action.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure G)
The base plate (9) can be swivelled to the right or left to
make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The hood (16) and anti-splinter guard (15) cannot be used
while mitre cuts are being made.
– Push the extraction outlet (17) gently upward and pull it
out of the base plate (9).
– Remove the hood (16) and the anti-splinter guard (15).
– Loosen the screw (19) with the hex key (4) and slide the
base plate (9) slightly towards the saw blade (10).
– The base plate has lock-in points at 0° and 45° on the left
and right so that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set.
Swivel the base plate (9) to the required position accord-
ing to the scale (20). Other mitre/bevel angles can be ad-
justed using a protractor.
– Then push the base plate (9) towards the rechargeable
battery as fas as it will go.
– Retighten the screw (19).
Starting Operation
Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off button (2)
next to the symbol
first, thereby deactivating it. Then
press the on/off switch (3) and keep it pressed.
The worklight lights up when the on/off switch (3) is lightly
or fully pressed allowing the work area to be illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
u
you.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3).
Activate the lock-off button (2) by pressing the lock-off but-
ton next to the symbol .
Controlling/preselecting the stroke rate
You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool
when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (3) to varying
extents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (3) results in a
low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch
increases the stroke rate.
