Guiding the sabre blade safely
To adapt to the workpiece and for safe placement,
the footplate can be swivelled. It must always
be in contact with the workpiece when the appli-
ance is running.
Practical advice on sawing
♦
Check the material to be worked to make sure
that all foreign objects have been removed, e.g.
nails, screws, etc..
♦
Ensure that the ventilation slits are not covered.
♦
Switch the appliance on before moving it
towards the material to be worked.
♦
Switch the appliance off immediately if the saw
blade jams.
Open up the sawn gap using a suitable tool
and pull out the sabre saw.
■
Use the appropriate saw blade and stroke rate
for the material to be worked.
■
Saw blades optimised for your sabre saw are
available from retail stores in different lengths
for various purposes.
■
Saw the material at a constant speed.
Sawing flush to edges:
Using flexible saw blades with a suitable corre-
sponding length, you can saw off protruding work-
pieces such as pipes flush to the wall.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the saw blade directly against the wall.
2. Bend it by applying lateral pressure to the sabre
saw so that the footplate makes contact with
the wall.
3. Switch the appliance on as described and saw
off the work piece by applying constant pres-
sure.
