Prior to operation:
•
Mount the appropriate type of saw blade. Use narrow
saw blades for cutting curves. Use fl exible bimetal
saw blades for hard-to-reach positions (e.g. close
to walls, etc.).
Switching on and off (fi g. A)
•
To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
•
To stop the tool, release the switch. Always switch
off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Cutting wood
•
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails
and metal objects.
•
Holding the tool with both hands, work with the saw
shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Plunge cutting in wood (fi g. C)
•
Rest the saw shoe on the workpiece in such
a position that the blade forms an appropriate angle
for the plunge cut.
•
Switch the tool on and slowly feed in the blade. Make
sure that the saw shoe remains in contact with the
workpiece at all times.
Pocket cuts
•
Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
•
Using a narrow saw blade rest the bottom of the saw
shoe on the workpiece and make sure that the blade
is positioned on the cutting line. If necessary, e.g.
in confi ned spaces, use the outer edge of the saw
shoe as your guideline.
•
Switch on the tool and feed the blade into the
material at full speed, holding the tool fi rmly against
the workpiece.
Dust extraction
When the tool is used indoor for extended periods of time,
use a suitable dust extractor designed in compliance with
the applicable Directives regarding dust emission.
Cutting metal
•
When cutting thin metal always stabilize the
workpiece with wood on both sides. This guarantees
clean cuts and prevents damaging of the material.
•
For long, straight cuts draw a line on the
workpiece.
•
Apply a thin fi lm of lubricant along the cutting line,
switch on the tool and follow the cutting line.
Cutting plastics
•
Always work at reduced speed. Carry out a test cut
to check whether the material is sensitive to heat.
Cutting masonry
When sawing asbestos cement hazardous dust
may be produced. Follow the statutory guidelines
and observe the recommendations issued by
the asbestos cement manufacturers.
Sawing up to a projecting edge (fi g. D)
•
Using a conventional blade installed upside down,
cut up to the projected edge.
Parallel cutting (fi g. E)
With the blade installed in the horizontal orientation,
the tool can be used for parallel cutting close to fl oors,
walls or ceilings.
•
Make sure that the saw shoe remains in contact with
the workpiece at all times.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
