Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive 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 B)
Clean the shank of the saw blade before in-
serting it. An unclean shank cannot be fas-
tened securely.
Insert the saw blade 11 into the stroke rod 17
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 9.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-
ries.
