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. 3/Item 12)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or
replace a saw blade.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Set the selector switch for orbital action (8) to
position D (see Fig. 17).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Pull the safety guard (15) forward as shown in
Fig. 3. The blade holder (14) will be released
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
forward.
•
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
guard (15) back to the front.
•
CAUTION! While you do this, a spring
mechanism 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 Fitting the edge guide (Fig. 4/Item 11)
•
The edge guide (11) enables you to saw
parallel cuts.
•
Undo the two lock knobs (13) on the soleplate
(7).
•
Now slide the edge guide (11) into the guides
on the soleplate (7). You can fit the edge
guide (11) on either the left or right side of the
equipment.
•
The guide strip must always face downwards.
Set the required distance using the
measurement scale on the edge guide (11)
and tighten the lock knobs (13) again.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig.
7-9)
•
Use the hex. key (16) to loosen the screws
for the soleplate (A) on the bottom of the
adjustable soleplate (7) (Fig. 7).
•
Pull the soleplate (7) backwards slightly. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum of
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 soleplate 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
refasten the screw securing the soleplate (A).
Important! The splinter guard (17) must be
removed during miter cuts.
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Fig.
5-6/Item 5/19)
•
Connect your cordless jigsaw to a vacuum
cleaner using the adapter for dust extraction
system (5). This will ensure optimum dust
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
dangerous. Refer to the section entitled
"Safety information".
•
Fit the adapter for dust extraction system (5)
as shown in Fig. 5-6. The adapter for dust
extraction system (5) must audibly engage to
ensure that it is secure in the soleplate (7).
•
Using the angle adapter for sawdust
extraction (19), you can also extract sawdust
from the side of the machine.
•
To do so, insert the angle adapter for sawdust
extraction (19) into the adapter for dust
