The vibration emission level given in this infor-
mation sheet has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration emission level repre-
sents the main applications of the tool. However
if the tool is used for different applications, with
different accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration emission may differ. This may signifi-
cantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the to-
tal working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can
be found at the end of these instructions. Use
only T-shank saw blades. The saw blade should
not be longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A)
If required, remove the dust cover 16 (see "Dust
Cover").
Insert the saw blade 13 (teeth in cutting direc-
tion) into the stroke rod until it latches 15.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that
the back of the saw blade is positioned in the
groove of the guide roller 12.

Note: If the grooves of the saw blade holder are
not in the position shown in the figure or when
the Precision-Control guide cheeks 11 are
closed, then the saw blade 13 cannot be insert-
ed into the stroke rod 15. Briefly press the SDS
clamping lever 17 toward the side and release it
again.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade.
A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to in-
juries.
