Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Do not activate the spindle lock (3) while the tool
u
spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged
if you do this.
Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade.
u
There is a risk of injury when touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades that have a maximum permitted speed
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the power
tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on the material
you want to saw. This will prevent the saw teeth overheating
when sawing.
Removing the saw blade
– Bring the power tool into the work position (see "Unlock-
ing the power tool (work position)", page 25)
– Loosen the fastening screw (26) (by approx. two turns)
using the cross-headed screwdriver (12).
Do not unscrew the screw completely.
– Loosen the fastening screw (27) (by approx. six turns)
using the cross-headed screwdriver (12).
Do not unscrew the screw completely.
– Press the locking lever (1) and swivel the retracting blade
guard (4) upwards as far as possible.
– Then pull the retracting blade guard (4) and the cover
plate (21) backwards from the fastening screw (27) until
the retracting blade guard is held in the bracket (22) by
the guide bolt (28).
– Turn the hex socket screw (29) using the hex key (12)
provided while pressing the spindle lock (3) until it en-
gages.
– Press and hold the spindle lock (3) and undo the screw
(29) by turning it anticlockwise.
– Remove the clamping flange (30).
– Remove the saw blade (31).
Fitting the saw blade
If required, clean all the parts you want to fit before installing
them.
– Place the new saw blade onto the inner clamping flange
(32).
When fitting the saw blade, make sure that the cutting
u
direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the saw
blade) matches the direction of the arrow on the pro-
tective cover.
– Put on the clamping flange (30) and the screw (29).
Press the spindle lock (3) until it engages and tighten the
screw by turning it clockwise.
– Loosen the spindle lock (3) again. If necessary, pull the
knob upwards manually as far as it will go.
– Press the locking lever (1) and push the retracting blade
guard (4) and the cover plate (21) back downwards be-
low the fastening screw (27).
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard (4) downwards
until the saw blade is completely covered again.

Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Transport safety lock (see figure C)
The transport safety lock (14) makes it easier to handle the
power tool when transporting it to various working locations.
Unlocking the power tool (work position)
– Press the tool arm down slightly by the handle (16) to re-
lease the transport safety lock (14).
– Pull the transport safety lock (14) all the way out.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Note: Make sure that the transport safety lock is not pushed
in when working, otherwise the tool arm will not be able to
be swivelled to the required depth.
Locking the power tool (transport position)
– Guide the tool arm downwards until you can press the
transport safety lock (14) all the way in.
Further information about transporting (see "Transport",
page 27).
Work preparation
Extending the saw table (see figure D)
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
The left side of the saw table can be extended using the saw
table extension (11).
– Push the clamping lever (10) downwards.
– Pull out the saw table extension (11) to the required
length.
– To lock the saw table extension, pull the clamping lever
(10) back up.
Setting the mitre angle (see figure E)
The mitre angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
Important settings are marked with corresponding markings
on the angle guide (6). The 0° and 45° positions are secured
by the respective end stop.
– Loosen the clamping handle (13) of the angle guide (6).
– Turn the angle guide (6) until the angle indicator (33) in-
dicates the desired mitre angle on the scale (34).
– Retighten the clamping handle (13).
Marking the cutting line (see figure F)
A laser beam shows you the cutting line of the saw blade.
This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing,
without having to open the retracting blade guard.
– To activate this, turn on the laser beam using the switch
(19).
– Align your mark on the workpiece with the right-hand
edge of the laser line.
