CAUTION
Risk of crushing hands and fingers
If you switch on the power tool when the
clamping lever is open, the clamping lever is
closed by spring force. Open clamping jaws
are spring-loaded.
► Never switch on the power tool with the
clamping lever open.
► Never reach into the area around the
clamping jaws.
Removing the insertion tool [3a]
► Open the clamping lever [3-1].
The insertion tool drops down.
► Close the clamping lever until it clicks into
place.
If the power tool switches on without the
insertion tool, the clamping jaws [3-2] may
open. This makes a popping sound.
Inserting the insertion tool [3b]
If the clamping jaws [3-2] are open, open and
close the clamping lever [3-1].
► Close the clamping lever until it clicks into
place.
► Push the device onto the tool until it clicks
into place.
The tool can be offset in 30° increments
and secured in the most effective working
position.
The protection (against accidental contact)
on the saw blade may become twisted if
wear has occurred, see fig. [4]

Working with the machine

Observe the following information:
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– A significant increase in the force required
to advance the machine and slow working
progress are indicators that the blades are
worn.
– Hold the power tool by the gripping sur­
face [1-3] with both hands to ensure safe
guidance. Do not cover the cooling air
openings [1-4] with your hand. Otherwise
there is a risk of the machine overheating.
– Do not hold the power tool by the battery
pack.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
