Changing the saw blade (see figures B1−B4)
- Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
- Do not activate the spindle lock (3) while the tool spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged if you do this.
- Wear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade. There is a risk of injury when touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades that have a maximum permitted speed higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the power tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on the material you want to saw. This will prevent the saw teeth overheating when sawing.
