or with a dysfunctional lubricating system, the oil
feed pump will be damaged, as well as the tool’s
entire cutting assembly!
The oil reservoir cap
[1-9] has an opening with a
one-way suction valve for air pressure compensa-
tion. If you use the machine in other than the verti-
cal position, the chain may not get lubricated. The
outlet of the oil reservoir is located down at the
back, and when the machine rotates, the pump
is not able to suck up the oil. The quantity of oil
in the reservoir is indicated by the level in the oil
gauge
[1-8] .
8.3 Electrical connection
WARNING
If the tool is used with an incorrect power supply,
there is a risk of injury.
The IS 330 EB insulation saw can only be connect-
ed to a single-phase power supply with 220-240V/
50/60Hz alternating current. The machine has a
class II protective covering according to EN 60 745-1
and has noise suppression according to EN 55 014.
Before operating the machine, make sure that the
voltage of the socket corresponds to the voltage
information stated on the label of the machine.
The portable cord can be extended in the following
manner, if necessary:
- Length 20 m, cross-section of wires 3 × 1.5
mm
2
- Length 50 m, cross-section of wires 3 × 2.5
mm 2
Use only appropriately marked extension cords
intended for use outdoors.
9 Operation
WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock

Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
9.1 Switching on and off
Before switching the machine on, tighten all
clamping and fi xing bolts. Handle the machine
with both hands, and put it on the cutting piece
so that the chain is loose and will not stick inside
the cut after activation.
To turn on
Press the unlocking button [1-1] on the top of the
handle and hold it; then press the motor switch
button
[1-2] .
To turn off
Let up on the motor switch button [1-2] . The un-
locking button [1-1] will return to its initial posi-
tion and prevent an unwanted start-up. When the
machine is turned off, an electric brake activates
and signifi cantly shortens the run-down time of
the chain.
Do not remove the machine from the cutting piece
until the chain is at a standstill.
9.2 Controlling chain and guide bar lubrica-
tion
The quantity of lubricating oil can be controlled
using a feed pump
[5-2] . When you press the feed
pump, [5-2] the 0, 1, 2 and MAX positions can be
set at a notch [5-1] . Position 0 ensures minimum
lubrication for clean cuts, but must not be used
permanently , and after such cuts the chain and
plate must be lubricated with an increased quan-
tity. For permanent operation the quantity should
be set to level 2 and MAX.
9.3 Cut indicator
When cutting without the guide rail , adjust the
chain’s internal cutting plane using all of the in-
dicators on the guide runner:
- Indicator
0° [4-1] for rectangular cuts
- For bevel cuts:
• indicator 45° [4-4]
• indicator 60° [4-5]
To determine the chain’s external cutting plane,
use cutting profi le indicators
[4-6] .
For cutting with the guide rail (GRP 800/1400/
3000-2; Fig. [8]), adjust the chain’s inner cutting
plane using
only cut indicator 0° [4-1] .
9.4 Guide ruler
Slide the guide ruler [1-3] into the holders in the
runner [1-6] and secure it with the hand screws
[1-5] . The guide ruler allows parallel cuts along
an even edge.
9.5 Exhaust
WARNING
Dust hazard

Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
workwith a dust extractor.

Always read applicable national regulations
be-fore extracting hazardous dust.
10 Accessories
On the bottom part of the suction runner, the
machine has a longitudinal groove for mounting
on the guide rail. Thus larger dimensions can be
made more easily and more precisely.
10.1 The guide system
When cutting larger work pieces, and to
achieve accurate angled cuts, use of the
guide system is recommended for easy and safe
handling.
