USE
• On/off 7
• Speed control for smooth starting 8
• Switch locking for continuous use 9
• Changing saw blades 0
! insert blade to full depth with teeth facing forward !
! use T-shank blades only
• Sawing at 15°/30°/45° @
• Adjusting sawing speed to material used #
! if the tool does not run with wheel D in position 1,
select a higher sawing speed and lower the
sawing speed while the tool runs
• Dust suction $
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension E
! do not use vacuum cleaner when cutting metal
• Selecting sawing mode %
Use lever F 2 for adjusting the orbital action from
accurate cutting (= 0) to fast cutting (= III)
- 1 setting ("0") for accurate cutting in all materials,
straight + curved
- 3 settings for fast cutting in different materials, straight
cuts only
I = metal
II = plastic
III = hard wood
! always select "0" when sawing splinter-sensitive
material
• Laser line ^
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the
workpiece
- switch on/off laser line by pressing switch G
- before starting a job, check the alignment of the laser
line with the actual line of cut by making a trial cut on a
piece of waste material
! do not attempt to adjust the laser line with screw
X which is pre-set at manufacturing
! do not remove or damage warning label A 2
• Operating the tool
- before switching on the tool, ensure that front end of
footplate rests flat on the workpiece
- hold tool firmly with both hands, so you will have full
control of the tool at all times

grey-coloured grip area(s) &
- ensure that complete surface of footplate rests firmly
on the workpiece
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
- keep ventilation slots H 2 uncovered
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate saw blades *
! use T-shank blades only
• When cutting metals, lubricate saw blade regularly with
oil
• Use parallel guide J for making parallel cuts (
• For an accurate straight cut, guide tool with footplate
along the edge of a straight piece of wood )
• Pre-drill a hole before making cut-outs ¡
• Splinter-free cutting
- cover cutting-line with several layers of wide tape
before cutting
- always face the good side of the workpiece down
