maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 1/Item 15)
•
The safety guard (15) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (12) but
still gives you an unobstructed view of the
cutting area.
•
The safety guard (15) also serves to release
the blade (12) (see section 5.2).
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 2/Item 12)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or re-
place a saw blade.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Set the selector switch for pendulum action
(8) to position A (see Fig. 16).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Pull the safety guard (15) forwards as shown
in Fig. 2. The blade holder (14) will be re-
leased as the result.
•
Now push the blade (12) into the blade holder
(14) as far as the stop and let the safety guard
(15) slide back slowly to the rear.
•
The teeth on the blade must be pointing for-
wards.
•
Make sure that the blade (12) is seated in the
guide roller (10).
•
Check that the blade (12) is firmly seated in
the blade holder (14).
•
To remove the blade (12), pull the safety gu-
ard (15) back to the front.
•
CAUTION! While you do this, a spring mecha-
nism will automatically press the blade (12)
out of the blade holder (14). To prevent the
blade from being catapulted out of the holder
when this happens, hold the blade firmly at
the same time!

5.3 Installing the parallel stop (Fig. 3/Item 11)
•
The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw
parallel cuts.
•
Undo the two locking screws for the parallel
stop (13) on the soleplate (7).
•
Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the
guides on the soleplate (7). You can fit the
parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of
the equipment.
•
The guide strip must always face downwards.
Set the required distance using the measu-
rement scale on the parallel stop (11) and
tighten the locking screws for the parallel stop
(13) again.
Important!
The blade (12) functions in this case as the read-
off point.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts
(Fig. 6-8)
•
Use the hexagon key (16) to loosen the
screws for the soleplate (a) on the bottom of
the adjustable soleplate (7) (Fig. 6).
•
Pull the soleplate (7) backwards slightly. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum
45° to the left and right.
•
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the front
again, this will work only at 0°. Move the so-
leplate into the required position and refasten
the screw securing the soleplate (a).
•
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate
(7) to the rear, set the desired angle and re-
fasten the screw securing the soleplate (a).
Important! The splinter guard (17) must be re-
moved during miter cuts.
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Fig. 4/5/Item 5/19)
•
Connect your cordless jigsaw to a vacuum
cleaner using the adapter for chip extraction
(5). This will ensure optimum chip extraction
from the workpiece. The benefits are that you
will protect both the equipment and your own
health. Your work area will also be cleaner
and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be dange-
rous. Refer to the section entitled "Safety
information".
•
Fit the adapter for chip extraction (5) as
shown in Fig. 4. The adapter for chip extrac-
tion (5) must audibly engage to ensure that it
is secure in the soleplate (7).
