and check for the cause immediately. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
•
Always switch off the appliance and wait until the device
completely stops whenever you leave the machine, before
carrying out maintenance, before checking, cleaning or working
on the appliance.

Specific safety rules
•
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
dangerous.
•
Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic and
dust which is injurious to health can be generated when working
on wood and other materials. Take caution to prevent working
dust inhalation and skin contact. Wear a breathing mask. Never
use the device to work on any materials containing asbestos!
•
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing. Wear
ear-muffs.
•
Sparks generated during working or splinters, chips and
dust emitted by the device can seriously damage your sight.
Wear safety goggles.
•
Secure the workpiece. Do not support the workpiece with
your hand or foot. Use clamping devices or a vice.
•
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden
in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
•
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
•
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or unsharp saw
blades can break or cause kickback. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
•
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any nails and
remove them before operation.
•
Apply the device to the workpiece only when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool
jams in the workpiece.
•
Keep hands away from the sawing range and away from
moving parts. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the
saw blade can lead to injuries. Wear suitable protective gloves.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct accessory for your
application.
•
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be damaged,
break or cause kickback.
•
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to a
standstill. In this manner you can avoid kickback and can place
down the machine securely.
•
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop
before placing it down.
•
Do not touch the saw blade or the workpiece immediately
after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
•
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when
hand-held.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure that all components are
included. Refer to the drawings on this manual. If any parts are
missing or broken, please call IVT assistance center.
Initial operation
Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply voltage
must match the information quoted on the tool identification
plate.
Installing the saw blade
To obtain the best performance from your device, it is important
to select a specific saw blade for the particular application and
type of material you wish to cut. By doing this, you will get a
smoother, faster cut and you will prolong blade life.
WARNING
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before installing or removing blades.
Be sure blade clamp (4) areas are clean. Metal chips and sawdust
may prevent the blade clamp screw (5) from clamping the blade
securely.
1. Loosen the blade clamp screw (5) with hex key (6) [F1].
2. Insert the saw blade through the soleplate (3) and insert the
shank of the saw blade into the blade clamp (4) as far as it will
go.
NOTE: Make sure the saw blade is properly inserted.
3. Tighten the blade clamp screw (5) securely.
4. Make sure that the blade is locked into the blade clamp (4)
and that the saw blade cannot be extracted even though you
try to pull it out.
WARNING
If the saw blade isn't properly installed and fixed, it may be
ejected unexpectedly during operation. This can be extremely
dangerous.
