Besides this, the foot plate can also be
used for adjusting maximum saw depth,
especially useful when sawing in hollow
walls.
• The footplate can be extended by
loosening the two footplate mounting
screws (5) using the 4 mm hexagon
key and then pulling the footplate out
to the required length.
Ensure the footplate adjustment screws
are secure before resuming work.
4. OPERATION
Always follow the safety notes and
the relevant safety code.
Make sure that the saw blade
does not come into contact with
other objects when the device is
being turned on. Control over the
device can be lost at start-up.
Bodily injury and property damage
may occur!
The On/Off switch
Fig. A
• Switch the machine on by pressing the
triggerswitch (3). When you release
the triggerswitch (3) the machine will
turn off.
Locking the switch
• You can lock the on/off switch (3).
To do this, press the lock button for
the on/off switch (4), when the on/off
switch is activated. The On/Off switch
is then set for continuous operation.
Press the on/off switch again to unlock
it. Note: Locking is possible only at
maximum stroke speed.
Sawing tips
• Set the saw blade and the stroke
speed appropriately to the material
you are working with. You can control
the stroke speed continuously through
the position of the on/off switch (3): If
the switch is pressed lightly, the device
runs more slowly. If the switch is
pressed down fully, the device runs at
maximum speed. For precise, circular
curves, it is best to use a narrow blade.
When sawing metal, apply cooling or
lubrication oil along the cutting line to
prevent heating.
• Check wood, chip boards, building
materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails,
screws etc.), before sawing and
remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support
the workpiece with hand or foot. Do
not touch objects or the floor with the
saw running (danger of backlash).
• Put the footplate on the surface of the
workpiece, and saw through it with
constant contact pressure or feed.
If the saw blade seizes switch the
machine off immediately.
Spread the gap with a suitable tool and
pull out the saw blade.
• After finishing work, switch off the
machine and only put down after it has
come to a complete standstill.
Plunge cutting
Fig. C
• Plunge cutting may only be used on
soft materials such as wood, aerated
concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
• However, this requires a certain
practise and is only possible with short
saw blades.
• Place the saw onto the workpiece and
switch it on.
