The sabre saw is suitable for sawing wood, metals,

plastics or similar materials such as hard rubber,

fibre glass, etc.

Warranty claims apply only to a limited extent for

applications with excessive wear (e.g. pallet

construction/repair).

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage

caused by inappropriate 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 by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation where

the cutting accessory may contact hidden

wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool

"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by your hand or against the body

leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any

adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy

shoes when working with this tool.

Wear ear protectors when working for long

periods of time. High noise levels over a

prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.

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).

Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not

use saw blades that are cracked or that have

changed their shape.

Always position the power cable so that it leads

away from the back of the machine.

Always hold the machine with both hands on the

intended handles, take a secure stance and

concentrate on the work.

Always work with the guide attached.

When sawing, the guide must make secure contact

with the workpiece.

When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not

contain any water.

Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.

Keep hands well away from the sawing area and the

saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

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.

After stopping work, the saw blade may still be hot.

Wear protective gloves.

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.

LED lights (6): Do not observe the LED radiation

directly with optical instruments.

CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.

Reducing dust exposure:

WARNING - Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead-based paints,

- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products, and

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopic

particles.

This also applies to dust from other materials such

as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),

metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.

allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let

dust enter the body.

Observe the relevant guidelines and national

regulations for your material, staff, application and

place of application (e.g. occupational health and

safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid

deposits in the surrounding area.

Use suitable accessories for special work. In this

way, fewer particles enter the environment in an

uncontrolled manner.

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

- do not direct the escaping particles and the

exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons

or on dust deposits,

- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,

- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep

clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or

blowing stirs up dust.

- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not

blow, beat or brush.

current of 30 mA upstream.

6.1 Fitting and removing the saw blade

Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade.

After stopping work, the saw blade may still be

hot. Wear protective gloves.

Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

For access to the saw blade quick-clamping device

(2), adjust the guide (9) if required.

1. Fold the lever (5) of the saw blade clamping

fixture upwards and hold.

2. Insert the saw blade (8) until the stop

or remove.

3. Release the lever (5).

4. Check that the saw blade is securely seated.

Note: In case the saw blade ever brakes off and

cannot be removed by hand from the saw blade

clamping fixture: Fold the lever (5) of the saw blade

clamping fixture upwards 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.

6.2 Setting the guide

The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the

guide (9) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall).

Occasionally shift the guide (9) to achieve even

wear of the saw blade.

1. Press the button (10) and shift the guide (9) to

the desired position.

2. Release the button (10) and shift the guide until

it engages.

Check the guide (9) to ensure that it is securely

fitted. It has to be engaged.

7.1 Set pendulum action (SSEP 1400 MVT)

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 motion reduces the stress applied to

the saw blade, as it is raised when emerging from

the workpiece.

Set the required pendulum motion using the

adjustment lever (4).

Recommended setting values:

0 = pendulum motion is deactivated.

for thin material, fine cuts, tight curves

1 = for hard materials (e.g. steel, chipboard)

2 = for thick materials (e.g. wood, plastic)

3 = maximum pendulum motion

for fast cuts (e.g. coniferous wood)

The best way to determine the ideal setting is

through a practical trial.

7.2 Setting maximum speed

(SSEP 1400 MVT)

Set the machine to maximum speed using the

setting wheel (3). This can also be done during

operation.

Recommended setting values:

Wood ....................................................... = 6

Light bricks ............................................... = 5 - 6

soft, unalloyed steel.................................. = 3 - 4

Aluminium................................................. = 3 - 5

Plastic....................................................... = 1 - 4

Stainless steel .......................................... = 1 - 2

The best way to determine the ideal setting is

through a practical trial.

7.3 On/Off switch, continuous activation

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.

Switching on: Press the trigger switch (1). The

stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the

trigger.

Switching off: Release the trigger switch (1).

Continuous operation: The trigger switch (1) can

be locked using the lock button (2) for continuous

operation. Press the trigger switch (1) again to stop

the machine.

In continuous operation, the machine

continues running if it is forced out of your

hands. Therefore always hold the machine with

both hands using the handle provided, stand

securely and concentrate.

7.4 Working Directions

Sawing:

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

SSEP 1400 MVT: Set pendulum motion according

to the applications.

Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.

SSEP 1400 MVT: Set maximum stroke rate

according to the applications.

Press the machine with the guide (9) 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!)

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.

Set the adjustment lever (4) to the "0" position

(pendulum motion is deactivated).

See illustration B, page 2:

The machine is pressed with the edge of the guide

(9) 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.

7.5 Sawing close to the wall

Set the adjustment lever (4) to the "0" position

(pendulum motion is deactivated).

See illustration D, page 2.

When sawing near the wall, the saw blade can be

put into the saw blade clamping fixture with the

teeth pointing upwards (contrary to the normal

working position). Ensure that the pendulum action

is deactivated.

To saw tight curves: Use narrow saw blades.

Sawing metal: To increase the life of the saw

blades, apply cooling lubricant (cooling lubricant

rod 6.23443) along the cutting line.

On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out

the machine through the rear ventilation slots.

Regularly clean the saw blade quick-clamping

fixture (2) and blow out with compressed air. Do not

oil or grease.
