7.2 Setting maximum speed
Set the machine to maximum speed using the
setting wheel (11). This can also be done during
operation.
See page 3 for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 On/Off switch, continuous activation
On: Press the trigger switch (12).
Off: Release the trigger switch (12).
Continuous operation:The trigger switch (12) can
be locked using the lock button (13) for continuous
operation. Press the trigger switch (12) again to
stop the machine.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore always hold the machine with
both hands using the handle provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Clean the saw blade clamping fixture regularly and
thoroughly by blowing with compressed air.
If necessary, clean the openings behind the saw
blade support roller (2).
Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller (2)
from time to time.

9. Tips and Tricks

Plunging
The jigsaw blade can plunge into workpieces made
from thin, soft materials without the necessity of
drilling a hole beforehand. Only use short saw
blades. Only at 0° angle setting.
See illustration on page 2. Set the adjustment lever
(6) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is
deactivated). Position the jigsaw with the front edge
of the footplate (5) on the workpiece. Hold the
operating jigsaw firmly and guide slowly
downwards. Once the saw blade has penetrated
the workpiece, the pendulum motion can be
activated.
In thicker workpieces, a hole for inserting the saw
blade must be drilled first.
10. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
Fit accessories securely. If the machine is operated
in a holder: Secure the machine well. Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
See page 4.
A Circular-cutting and parallel guide
B Protective plate (prevents workpieces with
sensitive surfaces from becoming scratched)
10.1 Attaching the circular-cutting and
parallel guide
For sawing circles (dia. 100 - 360 mm) and making
cuts parallel with edges (max. 210 mm).
Attach circular guide (see Fig. I)
- Slide the rod on the circular-cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the footplate (centre point (c)
faces downwards).
- Set the desired radius (d).
- Tighten screw (b).
Attach parallel guide (see Fig. II)
- Slide the rod on the circular cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the footplate
(the centre point (c) faces upwards).
- Set the dimension (e)
- Tighten screw (b).
In order to minimise saw blade drifting, we
recommend using extra-thick saw blades: 6.23694,
6.23679, 6.23685
See www.metabo.com or the catalogue for a
complete range of accessories.
