CAUTION
!
Check whether the blade is well seated. A loose blade can fall
out and hurt the user.
ź
In order to release the blade, pull the mount wheel (
18
) in the
direction of the arrow and remove the blade.
NOTE:
Do not touch a blade that has just been used, as it can be hot and
cause injury. Use protective gloves.

Foot pad
The device is equipped with a plastic foot pad (
11
) that prevents
scratches on the cut surface. If the pad is damaged during work, it should
be replaced with a new one.

Plunge cutting
(
see Fig.
E-F
)
NOTE:
The plunge cutting process can be used only on soft
materials, such as wood, plasterboards or similar!
Use only short blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is
only possible with an angle of 0°.
Place the power tool with the front of the foot (
10
) on the workpiece and
switch it on. For power tools with stroke control, select the maximum
number of movements.
Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and slowly introduce
the blade into the workpiece. The moment the foot (
10
) contacts the
workpiece with its entire surface, continue to cut along the desired line.
