Mounting the Locking Knob
(see figure B)
– Screw the locking knob 13 into the corre-
sponding threaded hole below the insert
plates 12.
Always tighten the locking knob 13 firmly
before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can
become wedged in the workpiece.
Inserting the Batteries
(see figure C)
– Open the battery compartment 34.
– Insert the batteries provided according to
the specified polarity.
– Close the battery compartment.
Stationary or Flexible Mounting
To ensure safe handling, the machine must
be mounted on a level and stable surface
(e. g., workbench) prior to using.
Mounting with Base Unit
(see figures D1 – D2)
For mounting, use the base-unit fastening kit 41.
(24 screws with nuts for assembly, 4 screws
with nuts for fastening of the machine, 4 wash-
ers)
– Screw the base unit 40 together. Tighten the
screws firmly.
– Fasten the power tool to the supporting sur-
face of the base unit. For this, use the mount-
ing holes 16 of the power tool as well as the
slots in the base unit.
Mounting without Base Unit
(see figure E)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
16 serve for this purpose.
Dust/Chip Extraction
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 reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
1 609 929 J50 | (27/11/07)
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– 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.
Integrated Dust Extraction
(see figure F)
– Mount the dust bag 1 onto the sawdust ejec-
tor 2.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come in-
to contact with the movable machine parts.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size
Ø 36 mm) can also be connected to the dust
ejector.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Changing the Tool
(see figures G1 – G4)
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted
speed is higher than the no-load speed of the
power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the
characteristic data given in these operation in-
structions and that are tested and marked in ac-
cordance with EN 847-1.
