To prevent the splintering of the surface when sawing
wood, insert the splintering protector into the base
plate
5
from below.
The splintering protector can be used only with certain
types of saw blades.
After working for a long period with a low stroke rate,
allow the machine to cool by running for approx.
3 minutes without a saw blade and at maximum stroke
rate.
For narrow curves, use a thin saw blade.
When sawing metal or similar material, apply a cooling
or lubricating agent along the cutting line.

Plunge Sawing
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materi-
als such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum
plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the work-
piece and switch on. Press the machine firmly against
the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into
the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate
rests on the work piece, continue to saw along the
cutting line.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
■
For safe and efficient working, always keep the ma-
chine and the ventilation slots clean.
To avoid malfunctions, do not work with materials that
produce large amounts of dust from below or over-
head. Clean the saw blade holder regularly, for exam-
ple, by lightly tapping the machine on a flat surface.
■
In extreme working conditions, conductive dust
can accumulate in the interior of the machine when
working with metal. The protective insulation of the
machine can be degraded. The use of a stationary
extraction system is recommended in such cases
as well as the frequent blowing out of the ventilation
slots and the installation of a residual current circuit
breaker (FI).
Lubricate the guide roller

from time to time with a
drop of oil and check for wear. If it is worn, it must be
replaced.
