Starting Operation
- Pay attention to the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching on/off
- Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2), press and hold it while also pressing the locking mechanism (3).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2). If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and then release it.
Preselect the stroke rate
You can preselect the stroke rate and change it during operation using the stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (1).
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the work conditions and can be determined using practical tests.
It is recommended that you reduce the stroke rate when placing the saw blade on the workpiece and when sawing plastic and aluminium.
The number of strokes can be adjusted using six different settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you want to cut.
Setting | Stroke rate, approx. | Application/Material |
|---|---|---|
1 | 800 | Metal |
2 | 1300 | Metal, narrow curved cuts |
3 | 1800 | Narrow curved cuts |
4 | 2200 | Curved cuts |
5 | 2600 | Curved cuts |
6 | 3000 | Standard cuts, fast cuts |
During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke rate, the power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade and let the power tool run at the maximum stroke rate for around three minutes to cool down.
