9.1.1
LED work lamp (14)
This product is equipped with an LED work lamp to illumi-
nate the immediate work area and improve visibility in
poorly lit environments.
CAUTION
Do not look directly into the LED work lamp or the light
source.
1. The LED work lamp (14) lights up automatically as
soon as the product is switched on.
Note:
The LED work lamp remains lit up for approx. 10 seconds
after the product is switched off.
9.2
Test run (Fig. 1)
Note:
Before the first work and after each tool attachment change,
carry out a test run without load. Switch off the product im-
mediately if the tool attachment runs out of round, there is
considerable vibration or abnormal noises are heard.
1. Before operation, check that the insert tool is correctly
fitted, i.e. centred in the chuck (11).
9.3
Overload switch-off
In the event of overloading, the motor will switch itself off.
After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be
switched back on again.
9.4
Setting the mitre angle (Fig. 1, 7)
Note:
Use of the chip guard is not possible with a mitre cut.
1. Remove the chip guard (18) from the sliding shoe
(19), as described in 8.4.
2. Open the lever (21).
3. Pull the base plate (7) back slightly.
4. Set the base plate (7) to the desired position (-45° -
+45°).
There are a total of 5 levels that can be set (-45°,
-22.5°, 0°, 22.5° and 45°).
5. Slide the base plate (7) forward into one of the latch
stops.
6. Close the lever (21) again.
9.5
Setting the pendulum stroke (Fig. 8)
With the pendulum stroke switch (6) it is possible to set
the pendulum movement of the saw blade (15).
The following positions are available for the pendulum
stroke switch (6):
0 -
No stroke
1 -
Low stroke
2 -
Moderate stroke
3 -
Powerful stroke
The optimum stroke strength can be determined by practi-
cal testing, with the following recommendations:
• Fine and clean cutting edges can be achieved with lit-
tle or no pendulum movement (level 1 or 0).
• For thin material, hard material (e.g. steel) and for
curve cutting also use level 0.
22 | GB
• Soft material (wood, plastic, etc.): Set the pendulum to
level 2 or 3.
Note:
With the pendulum stroke activated, work progress be-
comes increasingly faster.
9.6
Using chip blowing/suction
function (Fig. 9)
Chips can be blown away to the front or extracted via an
optionally connected hoover (not included in the scope of
delivery).
Note:
The chip blow-off function starts automatically as soon as
you switch on the product.
1. Switch on the product as described under 9.1.
9.6.1
Note:
If necessary, you can connect a vacuum cleaner's vacu-
um hose directly to the product without a suction adapter.
1. Push the suction connection (17) into the rail between
the product and the base plate (7) as far as it will go.
2. Connect an approved dust extraction unit (not includ-
ed in the scope of delivery) to the extraction connec-
tion (17).
3. If the external dust extraction unit does not fit, use the
additional suction adapter (16) if necessary.
4. Switch on the product as described under 9.1.
9.6.2
1. Take off the vacuum hose from the suction adapter
(16) or from the suction connection (17).
2. Take the suction adapter (16) off from the product.
3. Remove the suction connection (17).
9.7
Plunge cuts (Fig. 1, 10)
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials such as
wood, aerated concrete, plasterboard, etc. However, this
requires some practice and is only possible with short
saw blades. Plunge cuts are only permitted if the mitre
angle is 0°.
1. Place the front edge of the base plate (7) flush on the
workpiece.
2. Slowly saw into the workpiece with a downward mo-
tion until the base plate (7) rests completely on the
workpiece.
3. Continue sawing along the cut line.
4. Switch off the saw and lift it off the workpiece when
finished.
9.8
Metal cuts
• Use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when machining met-
al. Violations can lead to significant blade wear. The un-
derside of the workpiece can be greased instead of us-
ing a coolant. The scope of delivery includes a saw
blade for wood, use suitable saw blades for metal cuts.
