[. . . ] Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). - Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used. [. . . ] A Attachment: Push on the protective cap (5) from the front until it engages Removal: Grip both sides of the protective cap (5), then pull forwards and remove. 6 Sawing without dust extraction - Work with the protective cap (5) removed (see Removal chapter 7. C Remove the protective cap (5), the protective plate (2), anti-splintering footplate (3) and extraction connection piece (11). - Push the footplate (10) forward in the angles provided until it engages. Figures Illustrations are provided at the beginning of the operating instructions. 31213)* 2 Protective plate for use with sensitive tool surfaces (attach as shown) * 3 Anti-splintering footplate insert * 4 LED lights 5 Protective cap * 6 Protective rod for preventing unintentional contact with the saw blade 7 Adjustment lever for pendulum motion 8 Switch button on the chip blower 9 Sliding on/off switch 10 Footplate 11 Extractor connection piece * 12 Setting wheel for speed adjustment 13 Battery pack release button 14 Battery pack 15 Capacity and signal indicator 16 Capacity indicator button 17 Saw blade 18 Saw blade support roller 19 Saw blade clamping fixture 20 Clamping lever for securing the saw blade 21 Scale for reading off the cutting angle 22 Clamp lever for diagonal cuts 23 Locking screw 24 Clamping force screw * depending on equipment/not in scope of delivery 7. Remove the saw blade before fitting the antisplintering footplate insert (3). Insert the anti-splintering footplate from the front, ensuring the following: • The smooth side of the footplate faces upwards. If you are working with the protective plate attached (2) (depending on fittings), fit the anti-splintering footplate insert in the protective plate. 10 ENGLISH en - Press the button (16); the LEDs indicate the charge level. (15) - (15)If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged. A To remove: Press the battery pack release (13) button and pull the battery pack (14) upwards. E Plunging You can plunge the jigsaw blade into workpieces made from thin, soft materials without needing to drill a hole beforehand. Set the adjustment lever (7) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (10) on the workpiece. Once the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion can be activated. The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial. Setting wheel position "A" = automatic start-up system: during the sawing process, the speed automatically increases to the maximum speed. Recommended settings: The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial. A The machine must not be allowed to draw in additional dust and shavings. When switching the machine on and off, keep it away from dust deposits. After switching off the machine, only place it down when the motor has come to a standstill. [. . . ] The actual values may be higher or lower, depending on the particular application and the condition of the tool or power tool. In estimating the values, you should also include work breaks and periods of low use. Based on the estimated emission values, specify protective measures for the user - for example, any organisational steps that must be put in place. Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745: ah, CM = Vibration emission value (sawing sheet metal) ah, CW = Vibration emission value (sawing wood) Kh, .
