8 Mounting and Removing a Saw
Blade
ATTENTION!
Risk of injury from electric current.
Unplug the machine from the power socket before
making any adjustments!
Before you mount the saw blade [11], clean the clamping jaws [6]
and clamping ring [5], as well as the clamping surfaces on the saw
blade [11]. Disengage the blade quick‑release lever [7] by pulling
it away from the body of the tool and insert the saw blade [11]
into the clamping jaws [6] at the same time. Let go of the blade
quick‑release lever [7].
ATTENTION!
Pull on the saw blade [7] to check that it
is securely fastened.
To remove the saw blade [11], disengage the blade quick‑release
lever [7] by pulling it away from the body of the tool and remove
the saw blade [11] from the clamping jaws [6]. Let go of the blade
quick‑release lever [7].
9 Putting the Machine into Operation
9.1 Adjusting the Support
When cutting, prop the machine up against the support [3] 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].
Adjust the support [3] by pressing the support lock button [4].
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 ma‑
terial. The length of the overhanging 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.
Once the support is in position, release the support lock button.
9.2 Adjusting Pendulum Action
The parameters of pendulum action can be adjusted using the
pendulum action switch [8] to four levels, 0 – 3, where setting the
switch to 0 deactivates pendulum action and 3 sets it to maximum.
To set the pendulum action level, press and hold the pendulum ac‑
tion switch safety [8b], then turn the pendulum action switch [8a]
to select the level of choice. Once the switch is in position, release
the safety [8b]. Make sure the safety [8b] has clicked in place and
the pendulum action switch [8a] is locked firmly in position.
Instructions for settings:
When machining thin materials, such as metal sheets, or hard
materials such as ceramic, set the pendulum action to minimum.
Setting a low or zero pendulum action ensures cleaner edges of
the cut in soft materials.
For mostly soft materials, such as wood or plastic, you can work
with a more pronounced pendulum action.
Approximate information for pendulum action settings are listed
in the table:

9.3 Setting Stroke Speed
The stroke speed regulator [10] can be used to select the number
of strokes per minute (even while the machine is running).
MIN – 2
Low number of strokes
3 – 4
Medium number of strokes
5 – MAX
High number of strokes

9.4 Turning the Machine On
The machine is fitted with a lock‑on button [2] for the ON switch.
While the ON switch [1] is pressed, press the lock‑on button to
lock the switch in the ON position. To release, press the ON switch
again [1].
Pressing the switch [1] and gradually pushing it down or releasing
it regulates the speed.
9.5 Turning the Machine Off
Release the switch [1]. The rundown time of the spindle is reduced
by a brake once the machine is off.
ATTENTION!
Before you do any work on the power
tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change), unplug it from
the socket!. Otherwise, accidentally pressing the
switch could cause injury.
ATTENTION!
If the saw blade gets jammed, immedi-
ately turn off the power tool.
9.6 Turning the LED Light On/Off
To improve visibility at the point of cut, you can illuminate the
workspace using the LED light [13] mounted on the front of the
machine.
Turn the LED light [13] on/off using the light switch [12].
10 Tips for Use
When cutting light construction material, follow the legal
provisions and recommendations provided by the manufac-
turer of the material. Before cutting wood, chipboard, con-
struction 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 sup‑
port [3] against the surface of the workpiece and cut the material
while pushing or pulling along its surface evenly. When you're fin‑
ished, 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 mate-
rials such as wood, plasterboard etc.! Do not plunge cut met-
als! 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 workpiece along its entire surface, keep cutting
along the chosen cutting line.
10.1 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 applying 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.
10.2 Coolant/Lubricant
To cut metal, it is advised to apply a cooling or lubricating agent
along the cutting line to prevent overheating.
