General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol

WARNING – Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.

Pass on your power tool only together with these documents.

Special Safety Instructions

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

A cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector).

During work, the workpiece must lay flat and be secured against moving, e.g. using clamps.

Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.

When sawing, the footplate must make secure contact with the workpiece.

When interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece while the saw blade is in motion or kickback may occur

Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade is touching the workpiece. Let the saw blade reach full speed before making a cut.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If the saw blade seizes, it may kickback from the workpiece when the saw is restarted.

Keep hands well away from the sawing area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill.

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.

Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves

Reducing dust exposureReducing dust exposure

Some of the particles generated using this power tool may contain substances known to cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: Lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long the user or nearby persons are being exposed.

Do not let particles enter the body. Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles.

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.

Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits.
Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

Commissioning

Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the type plate match your power supply.

Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream.

Never operate the machine without a saw blade.

Fitting the anti-splintering footplate insert

Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. Remove the saw blade before fitting the antisplintering footplate insert (7)

Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces upwards. Insert the anti- splintering footplate from the front, while noting the following 2 items:

The smooth side of the footplate points upward.
The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains cable)

If you are working with the protective plate attached, fit the anti- splintering footplate insert in the protective plate

Inserting the saw blade

Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves.

Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn.

being sawn.

Push the protective cap (10) upward.
Turn the clamping lever (1) forwards to the stop and hold in place.
Insert the saw blade (3) up to the stop. Ensure that the saw teeth are facing forwards and the blade is seated correctly in the groove on the saw blade support roller (2).
Release the clamping lever (1). (It returns to its initial position by itself. The saw blade is now securely tightened).

Sawing with dust extraction

Connect a suitable extraction device to the extractor connection piece (15).
For optimum dust extraction performance, push the protective cap (10) downward.

Sawing without dust extraction

Work with the protective cap (10) pushed up

Diagonal cuts

Push protective cap (10) upward.
Remove anti-splintering footplate (7) and extraction hose. These parts cannot be used for diagonal cuts.

Slacken the screw (4).
Rotate footplate (5).
The preset angle is indicated on the curved support plate (18) on the footplate. Adjust to different angles using an angle gage.
Tighten the screw (4) again.

Sawing close to the wall

Remove the protective cap (10), anti-splintering footplate insert (7), circular-cutting and parallel guide. These parts cannot be used when sawing close to the wall.

Slacken the screw (4) until the footplate (5) can be raised slightly.
Raise the footplate (5) slightly and slide backwards up to the stop.
Tighten the screw (4) again

Use

Adjusting the pendulum motion

Set the required pendulum motion using the adjustment lever (6).

Position “0” = pendulum motion is switched off . . .
Position “III” = maximum pendulum motion See page 3 for recommend setting values.

The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial.

Setting maximum speed

Set the machine to maximum speed using the setting wheel (11). This can also be done during operation.
See page 3 for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial.

Continuous operation: The trigger switch (12) can be locked using the lock button (13) for continuousoperation. Press the trigger switch (12) again to
stop the machine

In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore always hold the machine with both hands using the handle provided, stand securely and concentrate.

Cleaning, Maintenance

Clean the machine regularly. This includes vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the motor.
Clean the saw blade clamping fixture regularly and thoroughly by blowing with compressed air.
If necessary, clean the openings behind the saw blade support roller (2).
Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller (2) from time to time.

Tips and Tricks

Plunging
The jigsaw blade can plunge into workpieces made from thin, soft materials without the necessity of drilling a hole beforehand. Only use short saw blades. Only at 0° angle setting.
See illustration on page 2. Set the adjustment lever (6) to the “0” position (pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (5) on the workpiece. Hold the operating jigsaw firmly and guide slowly downwards. Once the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion can be activated.
In thicker workpieces, a hole for inserting the saw blade must be drilled first.

Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories. Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions.
Fit accessories securely.

If the machine is operated in a holder: Secure the machine well. Loss of control can cause personal injury. See page 4.
