7.2 Adjusting the pendulum motion
Set the required pendulum motion using the adjust-
ment lever (13).
Position "0" = pendulum motion is switched off
. . .
Position "III" = maximum pendulum motion
See page 2 for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 Setting maximum speed
Set the machine to maximum speed using the
setting wheel (17). This is also possible during
operation.
See page 2 for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.4 On/Off switch, continuous activation
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore always hold the machine with
both hands using the handle provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
Switching on: Push the slide switch (15) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt downwards until
it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide

8 Cleaning, Maintenance

Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Clean the saw blade clamping fixture regularly and
thoroughly by blowing with compressed air.
If necessary, clean the openings behind the saw
blade support roller (3).
Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller
(3) from time to time.

9 Tips and Tricks

Sawing different materials
When sawing metal, lubricate the saw blade with a
Metabo lubricating stick. Wet the cutting line with
water when sawing plexiglas. Saw metal sheets
less than 1 mm thick on a wooden base.
Curved cuts
When making curved cuts, we recommend using
narrow, specially designed saw blades.
Plunging
The jigsaw blade can plunge into workpieces
made from thin, soft materials without the neces-
sity of drilling a hole beforehand. Only use short
saw blades. Only at 0° angle setting.
See illustration on page 3. Set the adjustment lever
(13) to position "0" (pendulum motion is switched
off). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the
footplate (9) on the workpiece. Hold the operating
jigsaw firmly and guide slowly downwards. Once
the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the
pendulum motion can be activated.
In thicker workpieces, a hole for inserting the saw
blade must be drilled first.

10 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they
need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.
See page 4.
A Saw blades with single lug bayonet shank. Use
a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
B Anti-splintering footplate insert (replacement)
C Protective plate for attaching to the jigsaw foot-
plate. The protective plate prevents work-
pieces with sensitive surfaces from becoming
scratched.
D Guide fixture for using the jigsaw with the guide
rail
E Guide rail (overall length: 1500 mm)
F Connector for easy joining of 2 guide rails
6.31213

piece or work bench
