Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
f
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the ma-
chine in such a manner that no persons or
animals can be injured by the ejected saw
blade.
Turn the locking sleeve
4
approx. 90° in the di-
rection of the arrow. The saw blade
1
is ejected.
Dust/Chip Extraction
f
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Operation
Operating Modes
f
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Pivoting and Retractable Footplate
(see figure C)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate
2
adapts to the required angular position of the
surface.
Depending on the saw blade being used and the
application, the footplate
2
can be moved in
lengthway direction in three steps. Press the re-
lease button for the footplate
9
and slide the
footplate
2
to the required position. Release the
footplate release button
9
and check that the
footplate
2
is firmly latched. Slide the footplate
2
as required until it is firmly latched.
f
Do not press the footplate release button 9
during operation. This may lead to loss of
control over the power tool and personal in-
jury.
Utility Hook (see figure D)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook
6
for
hanging it, e. g., to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out
the utility hook
6
to the required position.
f
When the tool is hanging by the utility hook,
ensure that the saw blade is protected
against unintended contact. Danger of inju-
ry.
Fold the utility hook
6
back in again when you
are ready to continue working.
Starting Operation
f
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To
start
the machine, press the On/Off switch
7
and keep it depressed.
To switch off the machine,
release
the On/Off
switch
7
.
Controling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the
On/Off switch
7
enables stepless stroke-rate
control of the switched-on machine.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the
material and the working conditions and can be
determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when
the saw blade engages in the material as well as
when sawing plastic and aluminium.
