Inserting/changing the saw blade
- When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protective gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when used for prolonged periods of time.
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades with a single lug shank (T shank) or with a 1/4" universal shank (U shank). The saw blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
- Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it. A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Loosen the saw blade fastening screw (8) using the hex key (4) provided.
Push the saw blade (10), with the teeth in the cutting direction, into the saw blade receptacle (13) ➊ until it clicks into place.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (9).
Firmly tighten the screw (8) with the hex key (4) ➋.
- Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
