Operation

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must agree with the voltage specified on
the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 1 forwards.
To lock the On/Off switch 1, additionally push down the front
of the switch.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 1. When
the On/Off switch is locked, press on the rear of the switch
and then release it.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

 Wear protective gloves while working and pay particu-

lar attention to the mains cable. Take care that cut

sheet parts do not bend toward your body or the mains
cable. Sharp burrs develop at the cut steel sheet and can

cause injuries to the operator or damage the mains cable.
If required, press bending steel sheet parts away from your
/II
body or the mains cable using gloves.
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched on.
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to the surface of
the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
erally and work with low feed rate only.
