5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 3/Item 12)
•
The safety guard (12) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (10) but
still gives you an unobstructed view of the
cutting area.
•
The safety guard (12) must always be fitted
and in position before starting any sawing
work.
•
The safety guard (12) can be pulled up as
shown in Fig. 3.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 4/Item 10)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or
replace a saw blade.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Set the selector switch for pendulum action
(7) to position A (see Fig. 11).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Remove the safety guard (12).
•
Press the blade holder (11) and insert the
saw blade (10) into the blade holder (11) as
far as the stop (Fig. 4). The teeth on the saw
blade must be pointing forwards.
•
Allow the blade holder (11) to slide back to
starting position. The saw blade (10) must sit
in the guide roller (9).
•
Check that the saw blade (10) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
•
To remove the saw blade, follow the
instructions above in reverse order.
5.3 Removing the cover (Fig. 5+6/Item 6)
The adjustable soleplate (5) is equipped with a
removable cover (6) to protect sensitive surfaces.
To remove the cover (6), press the two corners
outwards and pull the cover down and off (Fig. 5).
Now push the cover (6) forwards (Fig. 6).
To fi t the cover, proceed in reverse order.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 8)
•
Use the hex key (15) to loosen the screws
for the soleplate (13) on the bottom of the
adjustable soleplate (5) (Figure 8).
•
Pull the soleplate (5) backwards slightly. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum
45° to the left and right.

•
If the soleplate (5) is pushed back to the
front again it will only function in the locking
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which
are marked on the graduated scale for the
soleplate (8) (Figure 1). Move the soleplate
into the required position and refasten the
screw securing the soleplate (13).
•
However, the soleplate (5) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate
(5) to the rear, set the desired angle and
refasten the screw securing the soleplate
(13).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Fig.
7/Item 4)
•
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner
using the adapter for dust extraction (4). This
will ensure optimum dust extraction from
the workpiece. The benefits are that you will
protect both the equipment and your own
health. Your work area will also be cleaner
and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be
dangerous. Refer to the section entitled
"Safety information".
•
Fit the adapter (4) as shown in Fig. 7. The
adapter (4) must audibly engage to ensure
that it is secure in the soleplate (5). The
adapter for chip extraction (4) cannot be used
for miter cuts.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the adapter opening (4). Check that the
connections are air-tight.
5.6 Splinter guard (Fig. 8/Item 14)
The splinter guard ensures that the material
you want to cut does not splinter or crack
during sawing. Insert it into the soleplate from
underneath as shown in Fig. 8.
Important! The splinter guard can be used only
for 0° cuts and must be removed for miter cuts up
to 45°!
