• Mounting saw blade 7
! disconnect the plug
- press blade clamp E forward and hold it in that position
- insert blade (with teeth facing down or up) to full depth
- release blade clamp E
- pull out blade somewhat until clamp E clicks into a
square position
- push in and pull out blade to check whether it is
locked correctly
! ensure that blade clamp E 2 is tight before
making a cut (a loose clamp may cause the tool
or blade to slip with loss of control as a result)
! ensure that the front end of the blade extends
through footplate F for the entire stroke length
• Removing saw blade 8
- press blade clamp E forward and hold it in that position
- pull
out blade
- release blade clamp E
• Orbital action for fast cutting 9
- for activating the orbital action of the saw blade use
switch D as illustrated
! do not activate the orbital action when cutting
metal
• Adjustable footplate 0
- footplate F tilts in order to keep as much of its
surface in contact with the workpiece
- adjust footplate by holding the saw fi rmly and turning
footplate to desired position
• Blade storage compartment !
- ensure that storage compartment G is closed to
prevent blades from falling out
• Operating the tool
! securely clamp the workpiece
- mark the cutting line on the workpiece
- select desired sawing speed with wheel C
2
- connect plug to power source (light B turns on
indicating that the tool is receiving power) @
- hold the tool with one hand on handle H 2 and the
other on the insulated barrel grip J 2
- switch on the tool
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters the workpiece
- guide the tool along the marked cutting line
- keep
footplate F 2 fi rmly against the workpiece to
minimize counter-force and vibration
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s) #
- keep ventilation slots K 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
! ensure that the saw blade extends beyond the
work throughout the stroke $
• Adjusting effective stroke length %
- use both adjustment screws L for sliding footplate F
forward/backwards in order to enlarge/reduce the
effective stroke length
! do not attempt to adjust the effective stroke length
with screw M which is pre-set at manufacturing
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Plunge cutting ^
Plunge cuts can be made in wood and other soft
materials without pre-drilling a hole
- use a thick saw blade
- mount the blade with the teeth facing upward
- hold the saw upside down as illustrated
- mark desired cutting line on the workpiece
- select position 1, 2 or 3 with wheel C
- tilt the tool so that the blade does not touch the
workpiece
- switch on the tool and carefully engage the moving
saw blade into the workpiece
- after the blade has penetrated through the workpiece
continue sawing along the marked cutting line
! do not make plunge cuts in metal materials
! do not activate the orbital action when plunge
cutting
• When cutting metals, lubricate saw blade regularly with
oil
• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual (indicated by an asterisk) has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with
another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to
vibration when using the tool for the applications
mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the
ventilation slots K 2 )
! disconnect the plug before cleaning
• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool
undismantled together with proof of
purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service
station (addresses as well as the service diagram of
the tool are listed on www.skileurope.com)
ENVIRONMENT
• Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and
packaging together with household waste material
(only for EU countries)
