Sawing
DANGER! Risk of kick back! Always
guide the saw, never the work piece!
Always hold the unit tightly with both hands.
Never pull the saw backwards!
Never tilt the blade!
DANGER! Risk of injury! Never hold the
work piece that you are working with in your
hand, on your lap, or against other body
parts.
Always clamp the work piece firmly in place.
Do not process work pieces that are too
small to be clamped.
NOTICE! Risk of damage to the unit!
Only use saw blades that are appropriate for
the material you are processing.
Always operate the saw with gentle force.
– Turn on the device.
– Wait until the blade has reached the full stroke
rate.
– Position the foot plate on the workpiece. The foot
plate should always be in contact with the work-
piece.
– Allow the saw blade to bite into the workpiece.
– Guide the saw blade with a moderate, constant
pressure through the workpiece.
– Switch the device off and allow the saw blade to
come to a complete standstill.
– Remove the saw blade from the workpiece.
Plunge sawing
► P. 5, fig. 8
NOTICE! Risk of damage to the unit! A
plunge cut can only be made in softer mate-
rials (e. g. wood, plasterboard). For harder
materials, a hole must be drilled that is suit-
able for the saw blade.
– Only use short saw blades for plunge cuts.
– Place the device with the edge of the foot plate (6)
on the work piece in such a way that the saw
blade does not touch the work piece.
– Turn on the device.
– Press the device firmly up against the work piece
and slowly plunge the blade into the work piece.
– As soon as the foot plate is positioned flat on the
work piece, continue sawing along the required
cutting line.
Tips for sawing
– When sawing, the foot plate must rest safety and
fully on the work piece.
– When sawing metal, apply coolant or lubrication
to the cutting line.
– When sawing small or thin work pieces always
use a stable surface or a work bench.
Things to note when sawing plastic
– When sawing plastic, if possible, use a new blade.

– When sawing, ensure speedy operation. If you
saw too slowly, the plastic will heat up, become
soft and adhere to the teeth of the blade. The cut
will be untidy and you will need to clean the blade.
Things to note when sawing metal
– When sawing metal, use a special blade.
– Saw with a low but even speed.
– When cutting profiles, start cutting at the thin side.
– When cutting U-shaped profiles, start cutting at
the closed side.
