7. Initial Operation, Setting

IRemove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make
sure that the machine is switched off.
7.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use (12).
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity
and signal indicator: (26)
- Press the (27) button, the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.

7.2

Setting depth of cut

Loosen the locking screw (19). Read the depth of
cut that has been set from the scale (18). Tighten
the locking screw again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 3.
7.3 Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts
Loosen the locking screw (2). Tilt the motor part
against the guide plate (7). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (1). Tighten the locking
screw again.
7.4 Correcting the saw blade angle
If, at 0°, the saw blade is not at right angles to the
guide plate: release lock nut (17) and correct saw
blade angle with adjusting screw (16). Then
retighten the lock nut.
7.5 Extraction connection piece / dust
ejection
Sawdust extraction:
connect a suitable dust extraction unit with suction hose
to the connection piece to extract the sawdust. (6)
Sawdust ejection:
Turn the nozzle (6) to the desired position (away from
body if possible).
8. Use
8.1 The machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous
beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30
seconds or when the trigger is released (5).
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
