Mounting and Removing a Saw Blade
Before transporting, storing or doing any work on the pow-
er tool (e.g. maintenance, change of tools), remove the ac-
cumulator. Otherwise, accidentally pressing the switch
could cause injury.
Before you mount the saw blade (7), clean the clamping jaws (6) and
clamping ring (5), as well as the clamping surfaces on the saw blade (7).
Rotate the clamping ring (5) upwards by the lever and insert the saw
blade (7) between the clamping jaws (6). Let go of the clamping ring's
lever.
Attention! Pull on the saw blade (7) to check that it is se-
curely fastened.
To remove the saw blade (7) rotate the clamping ring (5) upwards by the
lever and remove the saw blade (7) from the clamping jaws (6). Let go of
the clamping ring's lever.
Starting the Machine
Adjusting the Support (3)
Prop the machine up against the support (3) during cutting
to limit how much vibration is transmitted to the hands
and to minimise the risk of kickback (jamming of the saw
blade in the material).
To adjust the support, loosen the arresting lever (4) by pulling it down
and forward away from the body of the machine. Then slide the support
in or out as needed so that the overhanging portion of the saw blade is
sufficiently long to cut the chosen material. The length of the overhang-
ing part of the saw blade must be equal to the sum of the thickness of
the cut material, stroke length (28 mm) and a margin of at least 10 mm.
If you wish to clean the clamping system, you can completely remove
the support (3). Once the clamping surfaces and the support are clean,
slide the support back into place until it clicks.
Do not swing the arresting lever of the support (4) when the ma-
chine is running. You may lose control of the power tool and injure
yourself.
Inserting and Removing the Accumulator
Slide the accumulator (B1) all the way into the shaft on the back of the
machine's handle. Pull on the accumulator to make sure it is fitted prop-
erly.
To remove the accumulator (B1) from the machine, push on the accumu-
lator clamp (B2) and pull the accumulator out.
Turning the Machine On
The machine is fitted with a safety device to prevent an accidental
start (2). The safety is locked when it is pushed to the right when
looking from the rear of the machine. To unlock the machine's on
switch (1), push the safety to the left.
Pressing the switch (1) and gradually pushing on it regulates speed.
Turning the Machine Off
Release the switch (1). The rundown time of the spindle is shortened by
a brake once the machine is off.
When putting the machine aside, secure the switch by pushing the
safety (2) to the right.
Before transporting, storing or doing any work on the pow-
er tool (e.g. maintenance, change of tools), remove the ac-
cumulator. Otherwise, accidentally pressing the switch
could cause injury.
If the saw blade gets jammed, immediately turn off the power tool.
Tips for Use
When cutting light construction material, follow the legal provi-
sions and recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the
material. Before cutting wood, chipboard, construction material
etc., check that they do not contain foreign objects such as nails,
screws etc. Use a suitable saw blade.
Turn the machine on and guide it to the workpiece. Lean the support (3)
against the surface of the workpiece and cut the material while push-
ing or pulling along its surface evenly. When you're finished, turn the
machine off.
If the saw blade gets stuck, immediately turn the machine off.
Spread the cut using a suitable tool and pull the machine and the
saw blade out of the cut.Plunge Cutting
The machine can only be used for plunge cutting in soft materials
such as wood, plasterboard etc.! Do not plunge cut metals! Only
plunge cut using saw blades that are no longer than 100 mm.
Longer saw blades do not allow the support to be mounted and
the machine thus lacks the necessary stability!
Lean the support (3) of the machine against the workpiece so that the
saw blade (7) touches the workpiece and then turn the tool on. Fully
press the switch (1) to achieve maximum strokes per minute. Push the
machine firmly against the workpiece and let the saw blade slowly sink
into the workpiece. Once the support (3) makes contact with the work-
piece along its entire surface, keep cutting along the chosen cutting
line.
Flattening
When combined with elastic bimetallic saw blades, the tool can be used
to, e.g., cut off protruding structural elements, such as water pipes, right
along the surface of the wall.
Make sure the saw blade is always longer than the diameter of the
workpiece. Risk of kickback.
Place the saw blade flat against the wall and bend it slightly by pushing
sideways onto the machine, until the support (3) makes contact with
the wall. Turn on the machine and cut through the workpiece while ap-
plying constant pressure from the side. Keep in mind, however, that
there is a risk of damaging the surface of the wall!
For some operations, the saw blade (7) can be flipped 180° to cut in
the opposite direction.
Coolant/Lubricant
To cut metal, it is advised to apply a cooling or lubricating agent along
the cutting line to prevent overheating.
Electronic Safeguards
The machine is fitted with circuitry designed to prevent serious damage
to the machine. If the electronics detect any of the faults/defects below,
the machine stops immediately. Remove the fault/defect by proceeding
in accordance with the table.
Overview of safety features and methods for returning the machine to operation:
Type of safety feature
Low accumulator voltage
(indicated on the accumulator)
Machine overload (machine was
switched off due to recoil or
excessive load)
Overheating (critical temperature
of the motor, the electronics or
the accumulator was reached)
Checking Accumulator Status
The machine is fitted with an accumulator status control panel (B3).
Press the control button (B4) on the accumulator status panel (B3). An
accumulator status indicator (B5) will light up based on the state of
charge (capacity) of the accumulator.
