Intended use
The tool is intended for the sawing of wood, plastic and
metal materials. As a result of the extensive accessory
and saw blade program, the tool can be used for many
purposes and is very well suited for curved or circular
cuts.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply.
They are double-insulated in accordance with European
Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets
without earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
ENB062-1
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tools
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
3.
Do not cut hollow pipe.
4.
Do not cut oversize workpiece.
5.
Check for the proper clearance beyond the work-
piece before cutting so that the blade will not
strike the floor, workbench, etc.
6.
Hold the tool firmly.
7.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
8.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
9.

only when hand-held.
10. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.

Installing or removing saw blade (Fig.1, 2 & 3)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may
cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a
serious injury.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately

burn your skin.
• Tighten the saw blade securely. Failure to do so may
cause a serious injury.
Installing saw blade
Open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure.

Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the blade
clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade can not
be seen.
(Fig. 2)
Return the tool opener to its original position. After
installing the saw blade, always make sure that the blade
is securely held in place by trying to pull it out.
CAUTION:
Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it may cause
tool damage.
