Operation - Fieldmann FDP 200712-E Manual

Note:
Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action, moves the orbital switch knob (8) between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Position 0 is the straight cutting. Positions 1, 2 and 3 are orbital cutting. The aggressiveness of the cut increase
as the knob is moved from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut. (See Fig. 7)

8. OPERATION

Never use a blade unsuitable for the task and item to be cut.
Hold the saw in front of you with a fi rm grip on the handle.
Ensure that the saw blade is not touching anything and that the power cable is not in the way when starting
the saw.
Make sure that the item is clamped tight, and that the saw line is clearly marked.
Connect the vacuum extractor nozzle to an extractor system where possible.
Start the saw. Place the soleplate on the item, and let the saw blade touch the saw line.
Saw, but do not place more pressure on the blade than is necessary. Avoid lateral pressure on the blade.
Special notes on jig sawing
Place the soleplate on the item so the saw blade is vertical and correctly positioned in relation to the saw line
without touching it.
Start the saw and tilt it carefully while supporting it using the soleplate until the blade touches the item at the
saw line.
Let the blade work through the item, continuing to tip the saw downwards until the sole is fl ush to the item
and the blade is perpendicular to it. If necessary, drill a hole of suitable diameter in the item for use as
starting point.
Sawing wood
Check that the item does not contain nails or other metal objects. Always wear a mask.
Sawing metal
We recommend lubricating the material and saw blade with cutting oil to protect the tool and avoid overheating.
Support the item with wooden blocks on either side.
Sawing plastic
Make a test cut fi rst to check if the material can tolerate the heat generated by sawing.
IMPORTANT!
Check all screws on the saw regularly, particularly those that hold the blade. Tighten if required. Check regularly
that the carbon brushes are in a good condition. If the carbon brushes are worn, they should be replaced.
Lubrication (Fig. 1)
Regularly apply a drop of oil to lubricate the guide roller.
