Spring Balancer; Electrical Connection; Switch Operation; Switching Off - EFA 63 Betriebsanleitung

3.1.1 Spring balancer

The machine must always
be operated in combination
with a weight relief system
(spring balancer).
Install the spring balancer
with a trolley to a higher
element above the place of
work or to the ceiling.
Information on fine adjustment of the spring bal-
ancer can be found in chapter 4.4.
Suspend the saw so that it is as top-heavy as possi-
ble. The vertical position can be adjusted, if neces-
sary.
In view of the weight of approx. 7
kg, there is a danger of the
machine slipping or falling when
attaching or releasing the weight
relief system. Pay attention also
that the machine does not jam on
the trigger snap or on the hook of
the breaking saw.
Work cautiously!
When the saw is not in use, store it so that there is
no risk of accidental contact with the sharp saw
blade.

3.1.2 Electrical connection

The reciprocating saw is operated with electrical en-
ergy and must be connected to the mains power
supply by a qualified electrician in accordance with
the VDE directives and the regulations of the local
public utility.
Hand-held electrical machines must be equipped
with an operator protection switch (30 mA residual-
current circuit breaker) (Order No. 001 603 511) to
increase the safety. Machines with low voltages are
excluded from this requirement.

3.2 Switch operation

The saw may only be switched on
after carefully reading this oper-
ating manual and proper connec-
tion to the mains power supply!
