Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Work area safety ▶ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. ▶ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. ▶ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. ▶ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. ▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. Battery tool use and care ▶ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. ▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
▶ Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. ▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
▶ Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. ▶ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. ▶ Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut.
▶ When working with the power tool, always guide it away from your body. ▶ Never work overhead with the product. ▶ Do not attempt to brake the product by applying lateral pressure to the saw blade. ▶ Do not touch the clamping flange or the clamping screw while the power tool is running. ▶ The line of cut must be free of obstructions. Do not saw into screws, nails etc. ▶ Never press the drive spindle lock button while the saw blade is rotating.
water pipes are present. External metal parts on the power tool can become live, for example if you inadvertently damage electric wiring. This presents a serious risk of electric shock. 2.4 Battery use and care ▶ Observe the special regulations and instructions applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries. ▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire. ▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.

Press the battery compartment release button. ◁ The battery compartment cover opens. 2.
5.2 Removing the saw blade WARNING Risk of burning injury. A hot accessory tool, clamping flange or clamping screw and the sharp edges of the saw blade present hazards. ▶ Wear protective gloves when changing saw blades. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 16 Remove the battery. → page 15 Insert the hex key into the saw blade clamping screw. Press and hold down the spindle lock button. Turn the saw blade clamping screw with the hex key until the spindle lock button engages fully.
5.3 Installing the saw blade Use only saw blades of a diameter corresponding to the markings on the saw. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the battery. → page 15 Clean the mounting flange and the clamping flange. Slip the mounting flange right way round on to the arbor. Open the pivoting guard. Insert the new saw blade. Note the direction-of-rotation arrows on the saw blade and on the product. They must point in the same direction. 6. Install the outer clamping flange the right way round. 7.
12.Insert the hex key into the hole provided for the purpose. 5.4 Adjusting the cutting depth 1. Release the cutting depth adjustment clamping lever. 2. Set the cutting depth. ◁ The cutting depth is shown on the cutting depth scale. For a clean-edged cut, set cutting depth to the thickness of the material plus 2 mm. 3. Secure the cutting depth adjustment clamping lever. 18 English Printed: 04.06.
