returns the power on lock (6) to the
starting position.
• To turn off the machine, release the ON/
OFF switch.
— The ON/OFF trigger is also used to
control the no load speed. The deeper
the trigger is pressed, the faster the unit
runs.

10. Pressure shoe

The pressure shoe (8) serves as a support
during cutting. The pressure shoe is freely
movable and can be tilted accordingly so
that it can be adjusted to the respective
cutting operation.
To adjust the length of the pressure
10.1
shoe, loosen both Allen screws (11a
and 11b) with the provided Allen key (9)
and pull the pressure shoe outward or
slide the shoe all the way inside.
Tighten the Allen screws again after you
10.2
have set the length of the pressure
shoe.

11. Sawing tips

• 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 foreign bodies (nails,
screws etc.), before sawing and remove
them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the
workpiece 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.
