Dear Customer!
TACKLIFE confía
is confident of the quality of its products and offers n outstanding guarantee. Our
aim is to provide quality tools at an affordable price. We hope that you will enjoy sing this tool for
many years.
Intended use
The machine is intended for the sawing of wood, plastic and aluminum materials.
One to the comprehensive accessory and saw blade program, the machine can be used for many
applications and is very well suited for curved or circular cuts.
General safety hints for work with electric tools
Inserting / Replacing the saw blade
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Use the adjusting wrench to loosen both holding screws on the saw blade holder.Insert the saw blade
(teeth in cutting direction) until it latches in the stroke rod. When inserting the saw blade, take care
that the back of the saw blade rests in the groove of the guide roller 6.Tighten holding screws again.
The shafts of all conventional sabers saw blades fit in the universal saw blade holder.
Initial operating
Always use the correct supply voltage:
Thepower supply voltage must match the information quoted on the tool identification plate.
Switching On /Off
Brief activation
Press the on/off switch 2 and then let go again.
Continuous use Switching on:
Press on/off switch 2 and retain with locking button 3.
Switching off:
Press and release on/off switch 2.
Stroke rate selection
With the thumbwheel 1, the required stroke rate can be selected (also while running).
1-2 = low stroke rate;
3-4 = medium stroke rate;
5-6 = high stroke rate.
Dust vacuuming with external extractor device
Dust extraction prevents large accumula-tions of dust, high concentration of dust in the
ambient air, and facilitates disposal. For long periods of working with wood or for commercial use on
materials that produce dust that is detrimental to health, the machine is to be connected to a suitable
external dust extraction device.
Pendulum action settings
The saw blade pendulum action that is adjustable in four steps, makes possible the optimal
adaptation of sawing advancing (cutting speed), cutting performance and cut appearance of the
machined material.
For each downward movement, the saw blade is lifted off the material, which facilitates sawdust
ejection, reduces heat generated by friction and increases the service life of the saw blade. At the
same time, the reduction of the necessary advancing force provides fatiguefree working.
The adjustment lever 7 makes possible the adjustment of the pendulum action in four steps. The
switching can take place with the machine running:
Step 0:
No pendulum action;
Step I:
Small pendulum action;
Step II:
Medium pendulum action;
Step III:
Large pendulum action;
The following basic recommendations are to be observed:
Operating instruction
Sawing
Do not force the saw: this causes the saw blade to overheat and bend and/or break. If material to be
cut is thin, place it on an additional board/plate to dampen vibrations and improve cutting.
Cutting angle adjustment
To set the saw for bevel and angled cutting, undo the holding screws of the saw base with the
adjust¬ing wrench and push the base back out of its rest
position. Set the cutting angle by angling the base to the right or the left. The angles 0°, 15°, 30° and
45
。
are marked, but values in between these can be easily set. Firmly tighten both holdingscrews.
Plunge sawing
Only soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, plaster board, etc. may be worked with
the plunge method.
Cutouts in wood are possible without predrilling by piercing with the running machine. This requires
a certain amount of practice, however, and is possible only with short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the work piece and switch on. Press the machine firmly
against the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
After reaching the required cutting depth, bring the machine again to the normal working position so
that the complete surface of the base plate rests on the workpiece and continue to saw along the
cutting line.
After completing the cut, first switch off the machine and then pull it out of the cut.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
The guide roller 6 should occasionally be checked for wear and lubricated with a drop of oil. If worn
，
it should be replaced.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the rigorous manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should
be carried out by an authorized customer services centre.
Environmental protection
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as waste.
Machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmentfriendly recycling. The plastic
components are labeled for categorized recycling.These instructions are printed on recycled paper
manufactured without chlorine.

the smallerthe pendulum step selected (orswitched off), the finer and cleaner the cut edge;
when working with thin materials, like metal sheet, the pendulum action should be switched off
(step 0);
Materials such as soft wood cut in the direction of the grain, the maximum pendulum action can
be used.
