If the saw blade jams during removal, press the saw blade receptacle (14) slightly forward (max. 2 mm).
Anti-splinter guard (accessory) (see figure C)
The anti-splinter guard (15) (accessory) can prevent splintering of the surface while sawing wood. The anti-splinter
guard can only be used with certain saw blade types and only at a cutting angle of 0°. When sawing with the anti-
splinter guard, the base plate (6) must not be moved to the rear for sawing close to edges.
Push the anti-splinter guard (15) into the base plate (6) from below (as shown in the figure with the groove facing
upwards).
Cut Control (accessory)
Cut Control enables the power tool to be guided precisely along a cutting line marked on the workpiece. Cut Control
includes the viewing window (10) with cut marks and the base (11) for securing to the power tool.
Securing Cut Control to the base plate (see figure D)
Firmly insert the viewing window for Cut Control (10) into the brackets on the base (11). Then push the base together
gently and allow it to click into place in the accessory holder (16) on the base plate (6).
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood
treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by
specialists.
Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Push the dust extraction adapter (4) (accessory) onto an extraction hose (3) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (4) to the extraction outlet (5) on the power tool and the extraction hose (3)
to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti splinter guard (15).
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have connected the dust extraction system.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual
current of 30 mA or less.
Operating modes
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Adjusting the mitre angle (see figures E–F)
The base plate (6) can be swivelled to the right or left to make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The anti-splinter guard (15) cannot be used while mitre cuts are being made.
Insert a saw blade (9).
Remove the anti-splinter guard (15).
Loosen the screw (18) and push the base plate (6) slightly towards the extraction outlet (5).
The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on the left and right so that the precise mitre angle can be
adjusted. Swivel the base plate (6) to the desired position according to the scale (19). Other mitre angles can be
adjusted using a protractor.
