Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Make sure your workpiece is well
secured. Remove nails, screws and other
fasteners that may damage the blade.
• Check that there is sufficient space for
the blade underneath the workpiece.
Do not cut materials that are thicker than
the maximum cutting depth.
• Use sharp saw blades only. Damaged or
bent saw blades must be removed
immediately.
• Do not use the tool for sawing pipes
or tubes.
• Never run your tool without a saw blade.
• For optimal results, move the tool
smoothly and constantly over the
workpiece. Do not exert lateral pressure
on the saw blade. Keep the shoe flat on
the workpiece and lead the cord away in
line with the tool. When sawing curves,
circles or other round shapes, push the
tool gently forward.
• Wait until the tool has come to a
standstill before removing the saw blade
from the workpiece.
After sawing the blade may be very hot.
Do not touch.
