• A wood underlay can be used to achieve a<br />

better cutting quality. The wood underlay will,<br />

however, be damaged.<br />

6.6 Extraction of dust and splinters (Figure 6)<br />

Attention! When working with items coated in leadcontaining<br />

paint, for example, or with some types of<br />

wood, harmful or poisonous dust particles may be<br />

generated. This presents a danger both for the user<br />

and for other people nearby. Protect yourself with<br />

suitable personal safety clothing and equipment and<br />

keep other people away from the working area.<br />

Connect an extraction system or a vacuum cleaner to<br />

the electric power tool. This will provide you with<br />

optimum extraction of dust and splinters from the<br />

workpiece.<br />

Advantages: You preserve both the electric power<br />

tool and your health. Moreover, you're working area<br />

remains clean and safe.<br />

• Connect the suction hose (9) to the dust<br />

extraction connection (6).<br />

• Make sure that the seal inside the smaller of<br />

the connecting pieces on the hose (9) fits on to<br />

the dust extraction connection (6).<br />

• Turn the suction hose to the right until it engages.<br />

Attach a suitable dust extraction device.<br />

Notes:<br />

1. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is suitable<br />

for use with the electric power tool. Most dry<br />

vacuum cleaners for domestic use are wellsuited<br />

to this purpose.<br />

2. The vacuum cleaner is particularly useful if<br />

many cuts are being performed successively.<br />

It means that less frequent stops are required<br />

to clean the electric power tool and the<br />

workplace.<br />

3. When you are cutting materials which may<br />

produce dangerous dust, always use a<br />

vacuum cleaner. This applies, in particular, to<br />

hardwoods, MDF sheets and ceramics.<br />

6.7 Auxiliary handle (Figure 4)<br />

Screw the auxiliary handle (12) into the<br />

attachment point on the upper side of the<br />

housing.<br />

Attention! Always use the electric power tool with<br />

the auxiliary handle attached.<br />

7. Operation<br />

7.1 General instructions<br />

• Select a suitable tool insert for the material<br />

that is to be worked on.<br />

• Check the condition and sharpness of the tool<br />

insert.<br />

• Always hold the electric power tool with a firm<br />

grip.<br />

• Exert no force! Push the electric power tool<br />

forwards, gently and evenly.<br />

• The electric power tool must not be braked<br />

with the hand or by applying lateral pressure.<br />

• The safety guard may not be blocked and<br />

must be returned to the starting position after<br />

the final working step.<br />

• Before use of the electric power tool, inspect<br />

the function of the safety guard with the tool<br />

unplugged from the mains.<br />

• Before each use of the electric power tool,<br />

make sure that the safety mechanisms such<br />

as the safety guard, flanges and adjustment<br />

devices are functioning and/or are correctly<br />

installed and fastened.<br />

• A suitable dust extraction system is to be<br />

connected to the dust extraction connection<br />

(6). Make sure that the dust extraction is<br />

correctly and securely attached.<br />

7.2 Set the rotation speed<br />

• Before starting work, set a suitable rotation<br />

speed for the application. For example, when<br />

working with soft materials a higher rotation<br />

speed will be set than for hard materials.<br />

• To adjust the rotation speed, turn the<br />

adjustment wheel (14) according to the<br />

application. For the lowest rotation speed set<br />

the wheel to "1"; the maximum rotation speed<br />

is achieved with a setting of "6".<br />

7.3 Switching On and Off<br />

Switching on: Slide the On/Off switch (1) towards<br />

the rear, press and hold.<br />

Switching off: Release the On/Off switch (1).<br />

7.4 Overload protection<br />

The electric power tool is equipped with an overload<br />

protection. The overload indicator (2) displays the<br />

operating condition of the electric power tool.<br />

Overload indicator (2) flashing: The electric power<br />

tool is approaching the limiting load – reduce the<br />
