Setting the pendulum stroke
– Set the pendulum stroke with the switch (7):
– Switch setting [0] = Hard material
– Switch setting [1–3] = Soft material
Note: A higher pendulum stroke setting
increases the cutting speed, but may lead to
rougher cut edges.
Setting the parallel stopper
► P. 5, fig. 8
– Fit the parallel stopper (19) into the holder on the
unit as shown.
– Set the parallel stopper to the required dimen-
sions and secure with the locking screw (9).
Blower
– Switch (5) in front position = Blower off (operation
with dust extraction)
– Switch (5) in rear position = Blower on (operation
without dust extraction)
Connecting the dust extraction mechanism
CAUTION! Risk of injury! When extracting
particular dangerous, carcinogenic or dry
dusts use a special extraction unit.
– Fit the suction hose of a suitable vacuum unit onto
the shaving rejection chute (4).
– If required, use the supplied adapter.
Sawing
WARNING! Risk of kickback! Always
guide the saw, never the work piece!
Always hold the device 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.
– Place the material to be cut on an even, suitable
surface and secure to prevent it slipping.
– Mark the cutting line.
– Hold the device firmly with one hand and place
the front edge of the foot plate on the work piece.
– Turn on the device.
– Press the device firmly up against the work piece
and saw slowly along the cutting line (never pull
the saw backwards!).

Tips for sawing
– When sawing, the foot plate must rest safety and
fully on the work piece.
– When making cut-outs (e.g. cutting out parts of
kitchen worktops) first drill a hole with a suitable
diameter in the work piece and start the saw in
this hole.
– 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.
– Curves, circles or similar shapes must be made at
a low speed.
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.
Cleaning

rechargeable battery before doing any work
on the device.
Cleaning and maintenance at a glance
Regularly and according to the operating condi-
tions
What?
Clean the ventilation slots
of the motor to remove
dust.
Clean the device.
Storage and transport
Storing
– Store the device and any accessories in a dry,
well-ventilated place.
– In case of longer periods without operation, pro-
tect the device and its accessories against soiling
and corrosion.
Transport
– Use the original packaging to ship whenever pos-
sible.
Storing the batteries
Note: The service life of the batteries is
longest when they are well maintained and
above all stored at the right temperatures.
However, as the batteries age, their capacity
will decrease, even if stored properly. A sig-
nificantly shorter operating time despite a full
battery indicates that the battery is depleted.
• Storing the battery for a long period of time when
empty may damage the battery and greatly
reduce its capacity.
How?
Use a vacuum, cleaning
brush or paint brush.
Wipe the unit with a damp
cloth.
