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.
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 depends on the material and the working conditions and can be ascertained through practical tests.
A reduction in the stroke rate is recommended:
- When positioning the saw blade on the workpiece in order to be able to position the saw blade more precisely,
- When sawing plastic and aluminium to prevent the material from melting.
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.
