004604

004605

First unplug the tool. Open the blade cover and replace

the existing cutter blade with an optional circular saw

blade 110 mm in diameter.

Refer to the "Removing or installing the blade" section

which was described previously. Remove the rubber

facing from the base. Then close and secure the blade

cover. Now the max. depth of cut is 25 mm.

CAUTION:

Be very careful that the blade has been properly

•

mounted on the tool spindle between the inner

flange and the lock nut. Be sure to securely tighten

the lock nut.

Set the depth of cut to "MAX". Rest the base on the floor

(when trimming the wall panels) or the wall (when

trimming the ceiling panels). Using the floor or wall as a

guide, trim wall or ceiling panels. Feed in the direction of

the arrow.

CAUTION:

Before trimming the panels, check the wall or

•

ceiling carefully to avoid cutting the electrical wires,

nails or other foreign materials.

Always reinstall the rubber facing after trimming

•

the panels. If cutting slots for biscuits without the

rubber facing installed properly on the tool, the tool

might slip unexpectedly on the workpiece, causing

dangerous loss of control of the tool. When

installing the rubber facing, always hook it onto the

inside of the front opening.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

•

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection

or maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes

001145

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same

time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.

Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones

and secure the brush holder caps.
