Protection class
The values given are valid for a nominal voltage [U] of 230 V. For differ-
ent voltages and models for specific countries, these values can vary.
Vibration Damper
The integrated vibration damper reduces occurring vibrations.
The soft grip handle increases the safety against slipping off and
thus provides for a better grip and handling of the power tool.
Assembly
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw
blade holder is free of material residue, e. g. wood or
metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
beginning of these instructions. Use only ½" universal shank
saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A)
Swing the lever for saw blade release 4 approx. 60° in the di-
rection of the arrow and hold it in place. Slide the saw blade 1
into the saw blade holder 16. Release the lever for saw blade
release 4 again.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be turned through
180° (with the teeth pointed upwards) and re-inserted again.
Removing the Saw Blade (see figure A)
Swing the lever for saw blade release 4 approx. 60° in the di-
rection of the arrow and hold it in place. Pull the saw blade 1
out of the saw blade holder 16. Release the lever for saw
blade release 4 again.

additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-

taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er 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.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
When operating the machine with power from mobile genera-
tors that do not have sufficient reserve capacity or are not
equipped with suitable voltage control with starting current
amplification, loss of performance or untypical behavior can
occur upon switching on.
Please observe the suitability of the power generator being
used, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and fre-
quency.
Controlling/Presetting the Stroke Rate
Soft start allows for a precise cutting start in hard materials
(e.g. steel).
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 11
enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on ma-
chine.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 11 results in a low stroke
rate. Increasing the pressure also increases the stroke rate.
With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 9, the
stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation.
1:
6:
The constant electronic control keeps the stroke rate almost
constant at no-load and under load, and ensures uniform
working performance.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw
blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic
and aluminium.
