Fitting the table insert (see figure c)
– Place the table insert (25) over the riving knife (4) and
into the tool chamber.
– Turn the locking screw (38) as far as it will go in the
"Lock" direction using the tip of the ring spanner (9).
The front side of the table insert (25) must lie flush with or a
little below the saw table; the rear must lie flush with or a
little above the saw table.
Fitting the protective cover (see figures d1–d2)
Note: Only fit the protective cover when the riving knife is in
the top position directly over the centre of the saw blade
(see figure b2). Do not fit the protective cover when the riv-
ing knife is in the bottom position (position when delivered/
position for sawing grooves) (see figure b1).
– Loosen the clamping lever (39) and remove the protect-
ive cover (3) from the bracket (11).
– Hold the saw blade guard (upper metal rail) of the pro-
tective cover (3) with one hand, while using the other
hand to move the clamping lever (39) up.
– Push the guide pin (40) backwards into the groove on the
riving knife (4).
– Move the protective cover (3) down until the saw blade
guard (upper metal rail) is parallel with the surface of the
saw table (23).
– Push the clamping lever (39) down. The clamping lever
must be felt and heard to engage; the protective cover (3)
must be securely and safely fitted.
Always check that the blade guard can move properly
u
before use. Do not use the power tool if the blade
guard cannot move freely and does not close immedi-
ately.
Fitting the parallel guide (see figure e)
The parallel guide (5) can be positioned on either the left or
the right of the saw blade.
– Loosen the clamping handle (41) of the parallel guide
(5). This lightens the load on the V guide (42).
– First insert the parallel guide with the V guide into the
guide groove (32) of the saw table. Then position the par-
allel guide in the front guide groove (27) of the saw table.
The parallel guide can now be moved freely.
– To secure the parallel guide, push the clamping handle
(41) down.
Fitting the additional parallel guide (see figure f)
To saw narrow workpieces and bevel angles, you must fit
the additional parallel guide (43) on the parallel guide (5).
The additional parallel guide can be fitted on the left or right
of the parallel guide (5) as required.
Use the "additional parallel guide" fastening set (44) (two
fastening screws, two washers, two wing nuts) for fitting the
guide.
– Slide the fastening screws through the lateral holes on the
parallel guide (5).
– The heads of the screws are used to guide the additional
parallel guide.

– Slide the additional parallel guide (43) over the heads of
the fastening screws.
– Place the washers on the fastening screws and tighten the
screws using the wing nuts.
Fitting the angle guide (see figure g)
– Push the rail (45) of the angle guide (2) into one of the
guide grooves (30) provided in the saw table.

Battery Charging

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Removing the Battery

The battery (17) is equipped with two locking levels to pre-
vent the battery from falling out if the battery release
button (28) is pressed unintentionally. The battery is held in
place by a spring when fitted in the power tool.
– To remove the battery (17), press the release
button (28) and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do
not use force to do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.
