Sawing
Do not cut materials containing asbestos.
Adjust saw blade stroke rate and orbital action to the material to be cut.
Check the workpiece for foreign objects such as nails, screws, etc. and remove
them before sawing.
Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not
touch foreign objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of kick-back)!
Switch the machine on and approach the workpiece to be cut.
Put footplate (2) on workpiece surface and saw through it using constant contact
pressure.
If the saw blade seizes, switch machine off immediately. Spread gap (kerf) with a
suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade
out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill (danger of kick-back)
For extreme conditions when working with metal, conducting dust can collect on
the interior of the machine. The protective insulation of the machine can be
degraded. In such cases, it is recommended that the ventilation slots be blown
out frequently and that a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) be connected in
series with the machine.
To ensure long term flawless operation of the machine, the saw blade holder
should be cleaned regularly. This can be done by lightly tapping the machine with
the foot plate on a flat surface without a saw blade inserted. if necessary, the saw
blade holder should be cleaned by blowing it out with compressed air.
Repairs to the tool should be carried out by an authorized service technician
using orignal replacement parts.
Practical advice
For cutting tight-radius curves, it is best to use a narrow saw blade.
When sawing metal, apply a suitable lubricant along the cutting line for
cooling purposes.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on the saw, pull the plug from
the power source. Always keep the machine clean and properly maintained
for safety and performance purposes.
Important: If for any reason the plug is cut off of the power cord of this machine. It
must be disposed of safely and not left unattended.
If the power cord becomes damaged and must be repaired, do not connect
the blue or brown wire of the power cord to the earth terminal of the plug.
