Setting the pendulum stroke (fi g. D)
The adjustable pendulum stroke guarantees a perfect
cutting stroke for different materials. The tool can be
used in the following operating modes:
Straight reciprocating motion: for cutting metal
and tubes and for fi nishing wood.
Orbital motion: for fast cutting of wood.
Turn the selector (3) into the required position
aligning the mark (9) with the arrow (10).
Instructions for use
Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
Ensure the material to be sawn is secured
in place.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
and do not exert side pressure on the
saw blade. If possible, work with the saw
shoe pressed against the workpiece. This
prevents damage to the blade and stops
the tool from jerking and vibrating.
When sawing in walls or fl oors be aware
of the location of pipework and wiring.
Always hold the tool by its handle.
Avoid overloading.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut. Never switch on
the tool when the saw blade is jammed
in the workpiece or in contact with the
material.
Prior to operation:
Mount the appropriate type of saw blade. Use narrow
saw blades for cutting curves. Use fl exible bimetal
saw blades for hard-to-reach positions (e.g. close
to walls, etc.).
Switching on and off (fi g. A)
To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
To stop the tool, release the switch. Always switch
off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Setting the electronic sawing speed (fi g. A)
The speed control dial (2) can be used for advance setting
of the required range of speed.
Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required
level. The required setting depends on the thickness
and kind of material.
Use high speeds for sawing soft materials such as
wood. Use low speeds for sawing metal.
After using the tool for an extended period on
low speed settings, run it for approx. 3 minutes
on maximum no-load speed.
Cutting wood
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails
and metal objects.
Holding the tool with both hands, work with the saw
shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Plunge cutting in wood (fi g. E)
Rest the saw shoe on the workpiece in such a
position that the blade forms an appropriate angle
for the plunge cut.
Switch the tool on and slowly feed in the blade. Make
sure that the saw shoe remains in contact with the
workpiece at all times.
Pocket cuts
Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
Using a narrow saw blade rest the bottom of the saw
shoe on the workpiece and make sure that the blade
is positioned on the cutting line. If necessary, e.g.
in confi ned spaces, use the outer edge of the saw
shoe as your guideline.
Switch on the tool and feed the blade into the
material at full speed, holding the tool fi rmly against
the workpiece.
Dust extraction
When the tool is used indoor for extended periods of time,
use a suitable dust extractor designed in compliance with
the applicable Directives regarding dust emission.
Cutting metal
When cutting thin metal always stabilize the
workpiece with wood on both sides.
This guarantees clean cuts and prevents damaging
of the material.
For long, straight cuts draw a line on the
workpiece.
Apply a thin fi lm of lubricant along the cutting line,
switch on the tool and follow the cutting line.
Cutting plastics
Always work at reduced speed. Carry out a test cut
to check whether the material is sensitive to heat.
