Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adju-
stments or servicing are performed.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy
shoes when working with this tool.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not
contain any water.
Wear ear muffs when working for long periods
of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period
of time may affect your hearing.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Do not reach under the workpiece while the
machine is in operation.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
Clamp the workpiece firmly. Under no circum-
stances should you hold the workpiece with your
hand or foot.
Only use sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not
use saw blades that are cracked or that have
changed their shape.
For sawing, the guide must make secure contact
with the workpiece.
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.
Always hold the machine with both hands at the
intended handles, take a secure stance and
concentrate on the work.
Always route the connecting cable away from the
tool towards the rear.
Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade.
Do not touch the moving saw blade! Remove chips
and similar material only with the machine at a
standstill.

6 Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in, check to see that the
rated mains voltage and mains frequency,
as stated on the rating label, match your power
supply.
6.1

Inserting / replacing the saw blade

Do not touch the saw blade immediately
following operation of the tool, as it can be
extremely hot and can lead to skin burns.
For access to the saw blade quick-clamping
device (2), it must be in its outermost position.
If required: press the trigger switch (7) lightly to
move the saw blade quick-clamping device into its
outermost position.
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
For access to the saw blade quick-clamping
device (2), adjust the guide (1) if required.
1 Turn the clamping sleeve (3) in the direction
of the arrow and hold it.
2 Insert the saw blade as far as it will go or
remove it.
3 Release the clamping sleeve (3) (the clamping
sleeve rotates back to its original position).
4 Check that the saw blade is securely seated.
Note: Should it occur that a saw blade has broken
off and it cannot be removed by hand from the saw
blade quick-clamping device, turn the clamping
sleeve in the direction of the arrow and hold.
Engage the tip of a saw blade in the broken section
and pull it out. A fine-toothed metal saw blade is
best suited for this task. See Fig. A, page 3.
Note: Should it occur that, with the saw blade
inserted, the clamping sleeve cannot be turned:
move the saw blade upwards and downwards by
hand and simultaneously turn the clamping sleeve
in the direction of the arrow.
6.2

Setting the guide

The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the
guide (1) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall).
Occasionally shift the guide (1) to achieve even
wear of the saw blade.
Release the clamping lever (4) and shift the guide
(1) along the length of the machine. Secure the
guide again using the clamping lever.
Note: If the guide is pulled out too far, the clamping
lever cannot be closed and locked for reasons
related to safety
