j
The footplate
g
must always be set against the
workpiece surface.
j
Saw through the workpiece using even pressure
and speed of progress.
Flush sawing:
With so-called elastic bi-metallic saw blades, pre-
supposing the appropriate length, projecting work-
pieces such as pipework protruding from the wall can
be sawn off adjacent to the wall (see also Fig. D).
Follow these steps:
1. Place the saw blade directly on the wall surface.
2. Bend the blade by sideways pressure so that
the footplate
g
comes up against the wall.
3. Switch on the tool as described above and trim
the workpiece using constant sideways pressure.
Plunge sawing:
Plunge sawing can be used only in soft materials
(such as wood etc.).
Follow these steps:
1. Place the sabre saw onto the workpiece. Ensure
that the lower edge of the footplate
g
is resting
on the upper surface of the workpiece. Switch
the appliance on.
2. Slowly cut into the workpiece with the saw blade.
3. Place the sabre saw upright and saw further
along the cutting line as soon as you have
reached the required depth.
4. At the end, switch the sabre saw off and remove
it from the workpiece.
L
Cleaning
Always remove the plug from the power socket
before cleaning the appliance.
j
Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots
clean.
This will maximise the service life of the tool
and ensure your safety.
j
Clean the saw frequently. For best results, do
this immediately after you have finished using it.
j
Never permit fluids to permeate inside the ap-
pliance. Use a soft cloth to clean the appliance
housing. Never use fuel, solvents or cleansers
which attack plastic.
j
Clean out the saw blade mounting recess by
tapping the tool lightly (without an inserted saw
blade) by the footplate
g
on a level surface.
Clean any remaining dirt from the saw blade
mounting recess using a thin paintbrush or
compressed air.
