●The cutting edges of the saw blade
are sharp.
●The cutting edges may present a risk of injury.
●Wear protective gloves.
6.1Extension cords
If extension cords are used: Use only extension cords of a type approved for the intended purpose and of ade- quate cross section. Failure to observe this point may result in reduced performance and may cause the cord to overheat. Replace damaged extension cords. Use only correspondingly marked and approved extension cords for working outdoors. Recommended minimum cross sections and max. cord lengths:
Mains voltage Conductor cross section
|
| 1.5 mm2 | 2.5 mm2 |
| 110 V | 20 m | 30 m |
230 V | 50 m | 100 m | |
Extension cords for outdoor use
For outdoor work use only extension cords approved and correspondingly marked as suitable for outdoor use.
6.2Fitting the saw blade
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Press the saw blade release lever and hold it in this position.
3.Push the saw blade into the blade holder (teeth fac- ing cutting direction) until it engages.
4.Hold the blade against the resistance felt and then allow the blade release lever to return to its original position.
5.Check that the blade is held securely by gripping and pulling it.
6.3Changing the saw blade
When changing the saw blade, hold the tool in such a way that persons or animals cannot be injured by the saw blade as it is ejected.
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Press the saw blade release lever to the side as far as it will go. The saw blade is then released and ejected.
6.4Dust removal using an external dust removal system -NOTE-
Use of a dust removal system reduces exposure to dust, increases safety at the workplace by ensuring better vis-
ibility of the cutting line and helps to keep the workplace tidy by greatly reducing the amount of dust and wood chips in the working area.
Connect the external dust removal system before work- ing with the tool for long periods when cutting wood or other materials that may cause considerable dust.
The dust removal hood must be fitted when the tool is being used with a dust removal system.
6.4.1Connecting the system
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Fit the dust removal adaptor into the opening on the tool.
3.Push the dust removal adaptor toward the tool from below until it engages.
4.Connect the vacuum cleaner hose to the dust removal adaptor.
6.4.2Disconnecting the system
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Disconnect the vacuum cleaner hose from the dust removal adaptor.
3.Push the dust removal adaptor downwards and pull it out of the tool.
6.5Dust removal hood
6.5.1Fitting the dust removal hood
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Push the dust removal hood onto the tool from the front until it engages.
6.5.2Removing the dust removal hood
1.Unplug the supply cord from the electric socket.
2.Tilt the dust removal hood slightly and pull it away from the tool toward the front.
6.6Sawdust blower
The blower keeps the cutting line free of dust and chips by directing a jet of air toward the saw blade.
6.7 Adjusting the orbital action
The four orbital action settings permit cutting perfor- mance and quality of cut to be adjusted to suit the mate- rial being cut.
Orbital action adjustment lever is used to set the tool to one of the four orbital action settings.
Please observe the following recommendations:
The lower the orbital action setting, the finer and clean- er the cut.
The optimum setting can be determined by making test cuts.
Setting 0: No orbital action
Setting I: Low orbital action
Setting II: Medium orbital action
SettingIII: High orbital action
