Controlling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 7
enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on
machine.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw blade
engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and
aluminium.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Working Advice
Before any work on the machine itself (e.g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as dur-
ing transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
Pivoting Footplate (see figure D)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2 adapts to the
required angular position of the surface.
Tips
When sawing light building materials, observe
the statutory provisions and the recommenda-
tions of the material suppliers.
Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign
objects such as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, if
required.
Switch the machine on and guide it toward the workpiece.
Position the footplate 2 onto the surface of the work and saw
through the material applying uniform contact pressure and
feed. After completing the working procedure, switch the
machine off.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the gap somewhat with a suitable tool and pull
out the machine.
Plunge Cutting (see figure E)
The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable
for treating soft materials such as wood, plas-
ter board or similar! Do not work metal mate-
rials with the plunge cutting procedure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
Place the machine with the edge of the footplate 2 onto the
workpiece and switch on. For power tools with stroke speed
control, set the maximum stroke speed. Press the power tool
firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to
slowly plunge into the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the surface of the work-
piece, continue sawing alongside the desired cutting line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be inserted turned
through by 180° and the sabre saw can be guided accord-
ingly in a reversed manner.
Flush Cuts (see figure F)
Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still attached to a wall
(e.g. projecting building elements such as water pipes, etc.)
can be sawn off flush at the wall.
Pay attention that the saw blade always
extends beyond the diameter of the material
being worked. There is danger of kickback.
Position the saw blade directly against the wall and apply
some lateral pressure via the tool until the footplate faces
against the wall. Switch the power tool on and saw through
the workpiece, applying constant lateral pressure.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.
Recommendations for Optimal
Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the bat-
tery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
