OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for sawing wood,
plastic, metal and building materials while resting
firmly on the workpiece. It is suitable for straight
and curved cuts.
ASSEMBLY
Replacing / Inserting the saw blade (See Fig.
A)
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing
or maintenance.
When mounting the saw blade, wear
protective gloves. Danger of injury when
touching the saw blade. When changing the saw
blade, take care that the saw blade holder is free
of material residue, e. g. wood or metal shavings.
1. Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades with single-nose shank. The
saw blade should not be longer than required for
the intended cut. Use a thin saw blade for narrow
curve cuts.
2. Inserting a Saw Blade
Rotate the tool-free blade clamp ring (3) anti-
clockwise and hold. Insert the blade into the
saw’s blade clamp and make sure that the blade
attaches to the blade pin inside the clamp.
Release the blade clamp ring and ensure the
blade is locked securely in place.
Warning: Check the tight seating of the
saw blade. A loose saw blade can fall out
and lead to injuries.
For certain work, the saw blade (1) can also
be turned through 180° (with the teeth pointed
upwards) and reinserted again.
3. Removing a Saw Blade
Rotate the blade holder (3) anti-clockwise and
hold. Pull the blade out and release the clamp
ring.

OPERATION
1. PIVOTING BLADE FOOT ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. B1, B2)
Due to its movability, the adjustable pivoting
blade foot (2) adapts to the required angular
position of the surface. It must be held firmly
against the material being cut to reduce saw
vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
(See Fig. B1)
If you need to reduce the cutting capacity of your
tool (depth of cut), the pivoting blade foot (2) may
be adjusted as follows. Rotate the shank on the
underside of the front housing forwards. Slide the
pivoting blade foot (2) to the required position.
Rotate the grip back and check that the blade
foot (2) is firmly latched. (See Fig. B2)
2. CONTROLING THE STROKE RATE
For sawing appropriately to the material a
suitable stroke rate can be controlled with the
switch. The switch with variable speed control
delivers higher speed with increased trigger
pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of
switch trigger depression.
