7.2 Adjusting the pendulum motion
Set the required pendulum motion using the
adjustment lever (13).
Position "0" = pendulum motion is switched off
. . .
Position "III" = maximum pendulum motion
See page 3for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 Setting maximum speed
Set the machine to maximum speed using the
setting wheel (17). This is also possible during
operation.
See page 3for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.4 On/Off switch, continuous activation
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
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.
Switching on: Push the slide switch (15) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt downwards until
it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide
switch (15) and release.

Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller (3)
from time to time.
9. 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
(13) to position "0" (pendulum motion is switched
off). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the
footplate (9) 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.
10. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating instruc-
tions.
Fit accessories securely. Secure the machine if it is
operated in a bracket. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
See page 4.
A Circular-cutting and parallel guide
For the complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or refer to the main catalogue.
10.1 Attaching the circular-cutting and
parallel guide
For sawing circles (dia. 100 - 360 mm) and making
cuts parallel with edges (max. 210 mm).
Attaching clamping elements (page 4, Fig. I)
Place the clamping elements (a) on the footplate (9)
with the opening facing forwards and the threaded
hole facing up. Insert the screws (b) from
underneath.
Remove the clamping elements after use
otherwise the saw blade clamping fixture (2)
may be damaged when diagonal cuts are made.
Attaching the circular-cutting guide
(page 4, Fig. II)
- Slide the rod on the circular-cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the clamping elements (a)
(centre point (c) faces downwards).
- Set the desired radius (d).
- Tighten the screws (b).
Attaching the parallel guide (page 4, Fig. III)
- Slide the rod on the circular-cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the clamping elements (a)
(centre point (c) faces upwards).
- Unscrew the centre point (c).
- Set the dimension (e)
- Tighten the screws (b).
