MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Fitting a saw blade
The machine is equipped with a quick fit
system.
•
Turn the clamping ring (3) of the saw blade
holder as far to the left as possible and
hold it there.
•
Place the saw blade in the blade holder.
•
Let go of the clamping ring.
•
Make sure when changing the saw blade
that the blade holder is free of material
debris (such as splinters of wood or
metal).
•
Before use, always check that the saw
blade is securely fixed.
Removing the saw blade
•
Turn the clamping ring of the saw blade
holder as far to the left as possible and
hold it there.
•
Remove the saw blade from its holder.
•
Let go of the clamping ring.
OPERATION
Always follow the safety notes and
the relevant safety code.
Make sure that the saw blade does
not rest on or touch any objects
when the machine is switched on.
To switch on
•
Press the trigger switch lock (7) and the
trigger switch (6).
•
Press the trigger switch (6) further in to
increase the stroke rate.
To switch off
•
Release the trigger switch (6) and the
trigger switch lock (7).
Sawing tips
•
Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit
the material to be processed. For right
radius curves it is best to use a narrow
saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to
deal with the fluttering produced along the
cut line when sawing metal.

•
Check wood, chip boards, building materi-
als etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws
etc.), before sawing and remove them, if
necessary.
•
Clamp material well. Do not support the
workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch
objects or the floor with the saw running
(danger of backlash).
•
Put the footplate on the surface of the
workpiece, and saw through it with con-
stant contact pressure or feed. If the saw
blade seizes switch the machine off imme-
diately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool
and pull out the saw blade.
•
After finishing work, switch off the machine
and only put down after it has come to a
complete standstill.
Plunge cutting
•
Plunge cutting may only be used on soft
materials such as wood, aerated concrete,
gypsum plaster boards, etc.
•
However, this requires a certain practise
and is only possible with short saw blades.
•
Place the saw onto the workpiece and
switch it on.
•
Ensure that the bottom edge of the foot-
plate rests on the workpiece surface.
•
Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle,
moving the saw to a vertical position and
continue to saw along the cutting line.
•
Switch the saw off and lift off the work-
piece when the work is complete.
Flush sawing
•
Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to
saw protruding objects (e,g, water pipes,
iron bars, etc,) nearby the wall.
•
Apply the saw blade directly to the wall
and bend slightly so that the footplate
rests against the wall.
•
Switch the machine on and saw off the
workpiece keeping constant lateral pres-
sure against the wall.
