General Information
With this order, you work safely with
the sabre saw and achieve a good
result:
1. Clamp the workpiece. Use a
clamping device for small work-
pieces.
2. Draw a line to specify the direction
in which the saw blade is guided.
3. Hold the device securely by the
handle.
4. Set the mitre angle.
5. Set the stroke strength.
6. Turn the device on.
7. Wait until the device has reached
its full stroke rate.
8. Place the footplate on the work-
piece.
9. Slowly move the device along the
marked line, pressing the footplate
firmly down onto the workpiece.
10. Do not apply too much pressure
in the cutting direction. Let the
device do the work.
11. Before shutting down the device,
switch it off and wait for it to come
to a complete standstill.
Selecting the pendulum motion
The larger the pendulum motion, the
faster your progress.
The optimal pendulum motion can be
established through practice; the fol-
lowing settings are recommended:
• For thin material, hard material (e.g.
metal) or for cutting curves: Level 0
36
Meaning
Battery is over-
heated
Battery is defect-
ive
• Fine and clean cutting edges can
be achieved with little or no pendu-
lum motion: Level 0 or 1.
• Soft material (wood, plastic, etc.):
level 2 or 3
Plunge sawing
Requirements
• Soft materials such as wood, aer-
ated concrete, plasterboard etc.
• Mitre angle: 0°
• Short saw blade mounted
Procedure (Fig. F)
1. Place the device with the front
edge of the footplate (12) on the
workpiece. The saw blade (17/18)
does not touch the workpiece.
2. Turn the device on. Wait until the
maximum stroke rate has been
reached.
3. Press the saw blade (17/18) into
the workpiece until the footplate
(12) rests on the workpiece.
4. Continue sawing along the cutting
line.
