the workpiece while cutting. Use only enough
steady pressure on the blade (1) to keep the saw
cutting. Reduce pressure as the blade comes to
the end of the cut.
7. Cutting stroke rates should vary with the work -
piece. Hard materials such as metals require low-
er stroke rates, for softer materials use higher
stroke rates.
8. Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc.
for foreign objects (nails, screws, etc.) before
sawing and remove them, if necessary.
9. Position the pivoting footplate onto the surface
of the work and saw through the work applying
uniform contact pressure of feed.
If the saw blade jams, switch off the tool immediately.
Widen the saw cut with a suitable tool and pull out the
saw blade.
PLUNGE CUTTING (image 1, 2)
WARNING: Plunge cutting is only suitable when
working softer materials such as wood or plaster
board! However, this requires a degree of practice
and is only possible with short saw blades.
1. Place the tool via the pivoting footplate onto the
work piece and switch on (6) . Pay attention that
the bottom side of the pivoting footplate faces
against the surface of the work piece.
2. Slowly plunge the saw blade (1) into the work
piece at an angle. After the saw blade (1) pen-
etrates through the work piece, move the tool
to a vertical position and continue to saw along
the cutting line.
3. Switch off (6) the tool and remove it from the
work piece.
FLUSH CUTTING (image 3)
With the use of flexible bimetal saw blades, project -
ing items (i.e. water pipes, etc.) can be sawed off
flush to the wall. Pay attention that the saw blade
(1) always extends beyond the diameter of the pipe
being sawed. Danger of kickback.
1. Position the saw blade (1) sidewards against the
wall and apply some lateral pressure via the tool
so that the edge of the pivoting footplate faces
against the wall.
2. Switch the tool on (6) and make the cut, applying
constant lateral pressure.
