Adjusting the cutting support
WARNING!
Remove the battery before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
The cutting support should always rest on
the material when sawing so as to avoid
excessive vibrations.
It is possible, for example, to limit the saw
blade cutting depth by adjusting the cutting
support.
Push cutting support lock (1.).
Adjust the cutting support to the required
depth (2.).
Release cutting support lock.
Switching the power tool on/off
The power tool switch allows the operator
to increase the stroke rate slowly up to the
maximum setting.
Press and hold down the switch.
The power tool starts.
The LED illuminates the working area when
the power tool is switched on.
To switch off the tool:
Release the switch.

Operating instructions
WARNING!
Always hold the power tool firmly with both
hands!
Whenever possible, clamp the workpiece
to be cut in a vice.
The saw has a cutting support. This helps
to reduce vibrations. It also enables
square cuts to be made.
After the power tool has been switched off,
the saw blade continues running briefly.
Never touch the saw blade straight after
use as it may be very hot.
Sawing metal
When sawing metal, use lubricant along the
cutting line. This stops the material from
overheating.
Sawing wood
Place the saw square on the workpiece.
Guide the saw with uniform pressure
through the wood, pressing the cutting
support against the workpiece in the
process.
Sawing directly at the wall
Thanks to the elasticity of bi-metal saw
blades it is possible to cut pipes flush with
the wall. To do so, use a saw blade of
sufficient length that exceeds the diameter
of the pipe. Position the saw blade flush with
the wall so that the kink point is outside the
workpiece to be sawn.
