such as nails, screws etc. and remove them.
• Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
• Switch on the product and only then approach the ma-
terial to be processed.
• Switch the product off immediately if the saw blade
jams. Spread the already sawn gap with a suitable
tool and pull out the product.

rial to be processed.

10.1 Information on operation
* = not included in the scope of delivery!
1. Secure or fasten (if possible) the workpiece is a
clamping device*.
2. Draw a line to indicate the direction towards which the
saw blade is guided.
3. Securely hold the product by the handle.
4. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a hooked, jammed or
incorrectly aligned saw blade, which leads to an un-
controlled rebounding of the saw, whereby it moves
out of the workpiece in the direction of the operator.
5. Set the saw speed using the speed control.
6. Set the mitre angle as described under 9.4.
7. Set the pendulum stroke position as described under
9.5.
8. Advance the product very slowly when cutting curves.
9. Before pressing the on/off switch, make sure that the
saw blade is correctly fitted, and that moving parts run
smoothly.
10. Switch the product on.
11. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the work-
piece being thrown.
12. Place the base plate on the workpiece, except for
plunge cuts.
13. Move the product slowly along the pre-drawn line,
pressing the base plate firmly against the workpiece.
14. Do not exert excessive pressure on the product. Let
the product do the work.
15. Always switch the product off before placing it
down and wait until the product has come to a
standstill.
