In case of use in the area of pallet repair, no claims

can be asserted.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage

caused by unspecified use.

Generally accepted accident prevention

regulations and the enclosed safety information

must be observed.

For your own protection and for the

protection of your power tool, pay

attention to all parts of the text that are

marked with this symbol!

WARNING – Reading the operating

instructions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow all safety

warnings and instructions may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information for

future reference.

Pass on your power tool only together with these

documents.

Hold the power tool only on the insulated

gripping surfaces when performing tasks

where the cutting accessory could hit

concealed power lines. Cutting accessory

contacting a "live" wire may also energise metal

parts of the power tool, resulting in an electric

shock.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead,

some wood species, minerals and metal may be

harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may

cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases

to the operator or bystanders.

Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic

such as oak and beech dust especially in

conjunction with additives for wood conditioning

(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing

asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

- The work place must be well ventilated.

- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is

recommended.

Follow national requirements for the materials you

want to work with.

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any

adjustments or servicing are performed.

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy

shoes when working with this tool.

Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free

of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.

using a metal detector).

When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not

contain any water.

Wear ear muffs when working for long periods

of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period

of time may affect your hearing.

Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may

be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be

processed.

Do not reach under the workpiece while the

machine is in operation.

Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.

Clamp the workpiece firmly. Under no

circumstances should you hold the workpiece with

your hand or foot.

Only use sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not

use saw blades that are cracked or that have

changed their shape.

For sawing, the guide must make secure contact

with the workpiece.

Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off

when the plug is removed from the mains socket or

if there has been a power cut.

Always hold the machine with both hands at the

intended handles, take a secure stance and

concentrate on the work.

Always route the connecting cable away from the

tool towards the rear.

Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade.

Do not touch the moving saw blade! Remove chips

and similar material only with the machine at a

standstill.

Before plugging in, check to see that the rated

mains voltage and mains frequency,

as stated on the rating label, match your power

supply.

Always install an RCD with a max. trip current

of 30 mA upstream.

Australia: Always use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply with a rated residual

current of 30 mA or less.

6.1 Inserting / replacing the saw blade

Do not touch the saw blade immediately

following operation of the tool, as it can be

extremely hot and can lead to skin burns.

For access to the saw blade quick-clamping

device (2), it must be in its outermost position.

If required: press the trigger switch (7) lightly to

move the saw blade quick-clamping device into its

outermost position.

Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

For access to the saw blade quick-clamping

device (2), adjust the guide (1) if required.

1 Turn the clamping sleeve (3) in the direction

of the arrow and hold it.

2 Insert the saw blade as far as it will go or remove

it.

3 Release the clamping sleeve (3) (the clamping

sleeve rotates back to its original position).

4 Check that the saw blade is securely seated.

Note: Should it occur that a saw blade has broken

off and it cannot be removed by hand from the saw

blade quick-clamping device, turn the clamping

sleeve in the direction of the arrow and hold.

Engage the tip of a saw blade in the broken section

and pull it out. A fine-toothed metal saw blade is

best suited for this task. See Fig. A, page 2.

Note: Should it occur that, with the saw blade

inserted, the clamping sleeve cannot be turned:

move the saw blade upwards and downwards by

hand and simultaneously turn the clamping sleeve

in the direction of the arrow.

6.2 Setting the guide

The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the

guide (1) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall).

Occasionally shift the guide (1) to achieve even

wear of the saw blade.

Release the clamping lever (4) and shift the guide

(1) along the length of the machine. Secure the

guide again using the clamping lever.

Note: If the guide is pulled out too far, the clamping

lever cannot be closed and locked for reasons

related to safety

S

ecure the guide firmly using the clamping

lever. The clamping lever must lock into place.

6.3 Pendulum action of the saw blade

The pendulum action of the saw blade increases the

sawing power (particularly in the case of soft

materials such as wood and plastics). Furthermore,

the pendulum action reduces the stress applied to

the saw blade, as it is raised when emerging from

the workpiece.

Use the rotary switch (6) to switch the pendulum

action on and off.

Pendulum action ON

Pendulum action OFF

For particularly exact sawing cuts and for

processing metals: switch off the pendulum action.

7.1 Switching on and off

To switch on: press the trigger switch (7).

To switch off: let go of the trigger switch (7).

7.2 Stepless stroke rate setting

The stroke rate can be changed steplessly by

varying the pressure applied to the trigger switch

(7), thus adapting it to the material and working

conditions.

7.3 Working Directions

Sawing:

Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.

Depending on the use case, switch the pendulum

action on or off.

Press the machine with the guide (1) against the

workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then

guide the saw blade against the workpiece.

Do not make contact with any objects or with the

ground with the moving saw blade (danger of

recoil!)

Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.

Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade

(particularly in the case of long saw blades).

If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off

immediately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a

suitable tool and take out the machine.

After completing the sawing cut, switch off the

machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to

place it down once the saw blade has come to a

standstill (danger of recoil).

Plunge cuts:

Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials

such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.

Hold the machine with both hands at the intended

handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on

the work.

See Fig. B, page 2. The machine is pressed with the

edge of the guide (1) against the workpiece. The

saw blade does not make contact with the

workpiece. Switch on the machine. The corner of

the guide serves as a pivot point around which the

machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade

cuts into the workpiece.
