Orbital Action Setting
(PFZ 700 PE)
By means of the adjustable orbital ac-
tion, the contact of the saw blade can
be adapted to the material to be
worked. The saw blade is lifted from
the workpiece on the downward
stroke which improves chip ejection
and increases the service life of the saw blade.
The orbital action can be selected in 4 steps with the
knob 4. The switching can be made with the ma-
chine running:
Orbital action switched off
(Step 0):
For working thin or hard material such
as sheet metal or steel.
When using tools such as files and
rasps or to achieve clean cutting
edges.
Orbital action step I:
For
working
hardwood, plastics or materials of
medium density.
Orbital action step II:
For working with soft materials such
as light building materials, insulation
material, etc.
Orbital action step III:
For working with soft materials such
as soft wood or tree wood.
Operating Instructions
Sawing
Adjust saw blade, stroke rate and orbital action to
the material to be processed.
Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc.
for foreign bodies (nails, screws, etc.) before saw-
ing and remove them, if necessary.
Do not cover the ventilation slots underneath the
tool holder with the hand.
Switch machine on and approach the workpiece to
be sawn.
Put base plate 2 on workpiece surface and saw
through it with constant contact pressure or feed.

If the saw blade seizes, switch machine off immedi-
ately. Spread gap somewhat with suitable tool and
pull out saw blade.
Plunge cutting (see figure
Plunge cutting may only be used on soft
materials, such as wood, aerated con-
crete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
However, this requires a certain practise and is only
possible with short saw blades.
– Set machine on workpiece and switch it on. En-
sure that the bottom edge of the base plate 2
rests on the workpiece surface.
– Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle.
– When the required cutting depth is reached,
move machine to a vertical position and continue
to saw along the cutting line.
– Switch machine off and lift off workpiece.
Flush sawing (see figure
Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow to saw off project-
ing building elements (e. g. water pipes, iron bars,
etc.) directly at the wall.
Apply saw blade directly to the wall and bend slightly
with some lateral pressure on machine so that base
plate 2 rests on the wall.
Switch machine on and saw off workpiece with con-
stant lateral pressure.
Practical Advice
For tight curves, it is best to use a narrow saw balled.
Because of the strong heating that occurs when
sawing metal, apply a cooling or lubricating agent
along the cutting line.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and the ventilation slots clean.
To ensure long term flawless operation of the ma-
chine, the SDS saw blade holder should be cleaned
regularly (PFZ 700 PE).
This can be done by lightly tapping the machine with
the foot plate on a flat surface without a saw blade
inserted (see figure
G
If necessary, the SDS saw blade holder should be
cleaned by blowing out with compressed air (see
figure
).
