OPERATION

Switching the machine on/off (Fig. A)

The on/off switch (2) is used for activating the machine and adjusting speed.

• To start the machine, press and hold the lock- off button (1) and press the on/off switch (2).
• The further the on/off switch (2) is being pushed, the faster the blade will move. The required speed depends on the material and can be determined by practical testing.
• To stop the machine, release the on/off switch (2).

Adjusting the base plate (Fig. B)

Due to its movability, the baseplate (7) angle adapts to the workpiece. Furthermore, the length of the baseplate can be adjusted depending on the required sawing depth.

1. Loosen the baseplate bolts (11) using the hex key (10) provided.
2. Adjust the baseplate (7).
3. Tighten the baseplate bolts (11) using the hex key (10) provided. It is possible to store the hex key onto the machine, as shown on Fig. B.

Plunge cutting (Fig. D)

Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc. However, this requires a certain practi- se and is only possible with short saw blades.

1. Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on.
2.  Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface as shown.
3. Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving the saw to a vertical position and continue to saw along the cutting line.
4. Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the work is complete.

Flush cutting (Fig. E)

Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw protruding objects (e,g, water pipes, iron bars, etc,) nearby the wall.

1. Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and bend slightly so that the footplate rests against the wall. Pay attention that the saw blade always extends beyond the diameter of the material being worked.
2.  Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.

Optimum use

• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the fluttering produced along the cut line when sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for hard materials (nails, screws etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the work- piece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash).
• Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade seizes switch the machine off immediately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
• After finishing work, switch off the machine and only put down after it has come to a complete standstill.

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the battery pack from the machine. Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
