Instructions for use

and applicable regulations.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is
secured in place.

This prevents damage to the blade and
stops the tool from jerking and vibrating.

of the location of pipework and wiring.
Always hold the tool by its handle.

• Mount the appropriate type of saw blade.
Use narrow saw blades for cutting curves.
Use flexible bimetal saw blades for hard-to-reach
positions (e.g. close to walls, etc.).
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
