and can be screwed into the threaded hole 19.
Before tightening the screw 17, press the base plate
to the rear until it latches.

Tips
After working for a long period with a low stroke rate,
allow the machine to cool by running for approx.
3 minutes without a saw blade and at maximum stroke
rate.
For narrow curves, use a thin saw blade.
When sawing metal or similar material, apply a cooling
or lubricating agent along the cutting line.

Plunge Sawing

Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materi-
als such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum
plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the work-
piece and switch on. Press the machine firmly against
the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into
the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate
rests on the work piece, continue to saw along the
cutting line.
