REPLACING/INSERTING THE SAW BLADE (Fig.3)
Remove the battery from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves. Danger of injury when touching the
saw blade. When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw blade holder is free of
material residue, e. g. wood or metal shavings.
Selecting a saw blade
Use only saw blades with single-nose shank. The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Inserting a saw blade
Rotate the tool-free blade clamp ring anti-clockwise and hold. Insert the blade into the
saw’s blade clamp and make sure that the blade attaches to the blade pin inside the clamp.
Release the blade clamp ring and ensure the blade is locked securely in place.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade.
A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to
injuries. For certain work, the saw blade can also be turned through 180° (with the teeth
pointed upwards) and reinserted again.
Removing a saw blade
Rotate the tool-free blade clamp ring anti-clockwise and hold. Pull the blade out and
release the clamp ring.

Operation
Pivoting blade foot
Due to its movability, the adjustable pivoting blade foot adapts to the required angular
position of the surface. It must be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce saw
vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
