Mounting the saw blade
Make sure the blade holder is free of material debris (such as splinters of wood or metal).
Turn the clamping lever (9) as far to the left as possible and hold it in this position.
Insert the saw blade in the chuck (8). Check that the saw blade is securely fixed and that the
teeth are pointing downwards.
Let go of the clamping lever. Check whether the saw blade is locked in place.
Make sure to use the right sawblade for the corresponding material. Included with the machine is a
coarse sawblade for wood and a fine sawblade for metal and plastics.
Removing the saw blade
Turn the clamping lever (9) as far to the left as possible and hold it in this position.
Remove the saw blade from the chuck (8).
Let go of the clamping lever.
Switching the machine on/off (Fig. A)
The on/off switch (2) is used for activating the machine and adjusting speed.
• To start the machine, press and hold the lock-off button (1) and press the on/off switch (2).
• The further the on/off switch (2) is being pushed, the faster the blade will move. The required
speed depends on the material and can be determined by practical testing.

To stop the machine, release the on/off switch (2).
Adjusting the base plate (Fig. B)
Due to its movability, the baseplate (7) angle adapts to the workpiece. Furthermore, the length of the
baseplate can be adjusted depending on the required sawing depth.
Loosen the baseplate bolts (11) using the hex key (10) provided.
Adjust the baseplate (7).

Tighten the baseplate bolts (11) using the hex key (10) provided. It is possible to store the hex key
onto the machine, as shown on Fig. B.
Plunge cutting (Fig. D)
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.
Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface as shown.
Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving the saw to a vertical position and continue
to saw along the cutting line.
Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the work is complete.
