Working Advice

  • When sawing lightweight materials, take into account the statutory provisions and recommendations of the material manufacturers.

Before sawing into wood, chipboard, building materials, etc., check for any foreign objects such as nails, screws, etc. and use a suitable saw blade.

Switch on the power tool and guide it towards the workpiece you wish to work on. Place the base plate (2) on the surface of the workpiece and saw through the material applying even pressure and feed. Switch the power tool off once you have finished your work.

Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade jams. Widen the sawing gap slightly with a suitable tool and pull the power tool out.

Thanks to its mobility, the base plate (2) adopts the required angle position of the surface.

Depending on the application and the saw blade being used, the base plate (2) can be moved continuously in length direction to different settings.

Loosen the screws (12) with the hex key (8) and slide the base plate (2) into the desired position. Re-tighten the screws and check whether the base plate is fixed in place.

  • Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc. Do not plunge cut metal materials.

For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades.

Place the power tool so that the edge of the base plate (2) rests on the workpiece, without the saw blade (1) touching the workpiece, and switch it on. When using power tools with stroke rate control, select the maximum stroke rate. Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to plunge slowly into the workpiece.

As soon as the base plate (2) rests fully on the workpiece, continue sawing along the required cutting line.

For particular jobs, the saw blade (1) can also be fitted after being turned 180° in order to operate the power tool the other way around.

Protruding components such as water pipes, for example, can be cut directly at the wall using elastic bi-metal saw blades.

  • Ensure that the saw blade is always longer than the diameter of the workpiece. There is a risk of kickback.

Place the saw blade directly against the wall and bend it slightly by applying lateral pressure to the power tool until the base plate is flush with the wall. Switch on the power tool and saw through the workpiece applying consistent lateral pressure.

Your power tool is equipped with a utility hook (5) for hanging it, e. g., from a ladder. Simply fold out the utility hook to the required position.

  • When the power tool is hung up, take care that the saw blade is protected from accidental contact. This poses a risk of injury.

Fold the utility hook (5) in again when you want to begin work with the power tool.

As the material heats up along the cutting line when cutting metal, you should apply coolant or lubricant.
