Metabo STE 140 Notice Originale page 11

Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

7. Initial Operation
Before plugging in the device, check to see
that the rated mains voltage and mains
frequency, as specified on the rating label, match
your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making
any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
7.1 Fit the anti-splintering footplate
Fig. A
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
Remove the saw blade before fitting the anti-
splintering footplate insert (2).
Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces
upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from
the front, ensuring the following:
• The smooth side of the footplate faces upwards.
• The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains
cable).
If you are working with the protective plate attached (1)
(depending on fittings), fit the anti-splintering footplate
insert in the protective plate.
7.2 Fit the saw blade
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still
be hot. Wear protective gloves.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
- Turn the clamping lever (19) forwards to the stop
and hold in place.
- Insert the saw blade (16) against the spring force
until the stop. (The saw teeth are facing forwards).
Ensure that the blade is correctly positioned in the
groove of the saw blade support roller (17).
- Release the clamping lever (19). (It returns to its
initial position by itself. The saw blade is now
securely tightened).
7.3 Removing the saw blade
Caution: Be careful not to point the jigsaw at
anyone when removing it.
- Turn the clamping lever (19) forward until the stop;
the saw blade is ejected as a result of spring force.
7.4 Attach / remove the protective cap
Fig. A
Attachment: Push on the protective cap (4) from
the front until it engages
Removal: Grip both sides of the protective cap (4),
then pull forwards and remove.
7.5 Sawing with dust extraction
- Fit the extractor connection piece (11). Connect a
suitable extraction device.
- Attach the protective cap (4) for maximum
extraction efficiency.
- Switch off the chip blower (see chapter 8.1).
7.6 Sawing without dust extraction
- Work with the protective cap (4) removed (see
Removal chapter 7.4).
7.7 Diagonal cuts
Remove the protective cap (4), the protective plate
(1), anti-splintering footplate (2) and extraction
hose. These parts cannot be used for diagonal cuts.
