Do not use force to do so.

4.4 Chip extraction

Danger
Substances that are harmful to
health must be taken up with an M-
suction device.
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inside diameter of hose connector 1 (Fig. 3) is 35
mm (1 3/8 in.).
The chip bag can be used for self-generated dust
extraction when briefly carrying out work that
generates a low amount of dust.

4.5 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 1.8 x 20 mm
(7.28 x 0.07 x 0.79 in.), 16 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 1.8 x 20 mm
(7.28 x 0.07 x 0.79 in.), 32 teeth

4.6 Saw blade change

Danger
Unplug the rechargeable battery for
all service work.

Press the push-button 2 (Fig. 2) and pull the
locking lever 3 (Fig. 2) upwards. Now the saw
shaft is locked in position and the shift lever
locked.

Using the Allen key 4 (brackets Fig. 3) release
the flange screw 5 (Fig. 3) counter clockwise.
Remove the screw and the front clamping flange
6 (Fig. 3).

Now you can remove the saw blade after
opening the retractable saw guard.

The clamping flanges must be free of adhering
parts.

Pay attention to the sense of rotation when
inserting the saw blade.

Afterwards, mount the clamping flange, attach
the flange screw and tighten it by clockwise
turning.

4.7 Riving knife/splitter

Danger
Unplug the rechargeable battery for
all service work.
The riving knife/splitter 7 (Fig. 3) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in (Fig. 4).

For adjustment purposes, release the screw 8
(Fig. 3) with the Allen key 4 that is included in
the supply (Fig. 3).

Adjust the riving knife/splitter by moving it in its
longitudinal groove and retighten the screw
afterwards.

machine will only run for as long as this switch trigger
is pressed.
The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free
acceleration when the machine is switched on and
under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting.
In addition, this electronic system adjusts the motor
down in case of overload, i.e. the saw blade will stop.
