three minutes to allow the machine to
cool down.
CAUTION! When sawing metal,
and steel in particular, regularly
cooling breaks should be taken in
order to allow the saw blade to cool,
or brush the blade with a cutting oil!
This will considerably increase the
durability and edge retention of the
blade.
Sawing without pilot hole (Figure 5)
If you need to make a cut in a work
piece and it is not possible to make a
test hole, set the pendulum action to 0,
release the saw shoe, push it right back
and lock into place. With the saw blade
in a tipped machine position and the
machine running, careful guide it across
the work piece (a). As soon as the work
piece has been sawn through, continue
working with the machine in the normal
position (b).
CAUTION! Such usage is only
possible with short blades and
soft materials, such as soft wood or
insulation materials.
Sawing flush (Figure 6)
When used in conjunction with elastic
bi-metal blades (not included) you can,
for example, cut projecting elements
(water pipes etc.) directly flush with the
wall. Place the saw blade up directly
against the wall and use lateral pressure
on the machine to bend it until the saw
shoe (3) lies against the wall. Switch the
machine on and apply constant, lateral
pressure while sawing off the work
piece.
