Working Advice

Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when
switched on.
80–90
˚
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to
the surface of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to
the side.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in
the cutting direction. Excessive feed significantly
reduces the service life of the saw blade and can
cause damage to the power tool.
Wear protective gloves while working and
pay particular attention to the mains cable.
Sharp burrs develop at the cut steel sheet and
can cause injuries to the operator or damage
the mains cable.
Only work with the chip deflector 4 mount-
ed. Danger of injury when working without the
chip deflector.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the
power tool laterally and work with low feed rate
only.
Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
depends on the strength properties of the mate-
rial to be cut.
The machine allows for cutting of metal sheet to
the following thicknesses:

Adjusting Cutter Clearance a
Before any work on the machine itself (e.g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.

For softer or more ductile materials, the
clearance a must be decreased; for harder or
more brittle materials, increased.
Loosen the fastening screw for the bottom cutter
11. Set the required cutter clearance a with the ad-
justment screw 10. The upper cutter 6 and the bot-
tom cutter 8 may not touch each other. Retighten
the fastening screw for the bottom cutter 11.
