Guard lock operating instructions
This tool has been fitted with a guard lock that
must be operated in order to use the tool.
• Switch on the tool in accordance with the
instruction manual. Next release the guard
lock. Then plunge the saw blade to start the
cut. The guard lock is released by pushing in
the direction of one of the arrows in the
diagram. Either the hand holding the tool or
work piece can be used, whichever is easier.
• After the cut has been finished and the tool
switched off, ensure the guard lock has fully
returned to its resting position. If not, unplug
the tool, remove the guard and clean
thoroughly with a soft brush.
Sawing
Fig. 7
• A ruler can be used for clean cuts.
• Check the technical data to see whether the
saw is suitable for use with the material to be
sawn.
• Fit a suitable blade. Make sure the blade is
sharp and undamaged.
• Set the sawing depth.
• Place the material to be sawn on a flat
surface, such as a work bench, a table or the
floor. If, for example, you are working on a
concrete floor, place something, such as a
piece of cardboard, under the material to
protect the surface and the blade.
• Insert the plug into the plug socket.
• Hold the saw firmly and fit the metal base
plate to the material to be sawn. Make sure
the rear of the plate protrudes over the
workbench. Do not yet press the saw into the
object to be sawn.
• Turn on the saw and wait a couple of seconds
until the saw is moving at full speed. Press the
saw slowly and carefully, but firmly, into the
material. Next, push the saw forwards along
the cutting line. Never pull the saw
backwards.
• Only a small force is required to lead the saw
along the cutting line. Too much force will cause
damage and fatigue to the blade and the saw.
• Make sure the base plate is always flat
against the object to be sawn. This is
particularly important at the start and finish
points of the sawing line or when small strips
10
must be sawn and the base plate is not
supported everywhere.
• After sawing, lift the saw upwards and turn it
off. If a lot of sawdust has been created, allow
the saw to continue running until all the dust
has been removed.
N.B.: Always saw in the forwards direction. Never
pull the saw backwards. If you do not have much
experience using the saw, first practice sawing
wood until you become more skilled.
Cutting out shapes
Fig. 8
• A ruler can be used for clean cuts.
• Adjust the sawing depth, insert the plug into
the plug socket and then place the saw and
the metal base plate on the object to be sawn.
Make sure the length setting on the protective
cover is aligned with the starting point.
• Turn on the saw and wait until the saw is
moving at full speed. Press the saw slowly
and carefully, but firmly, into the material.
Next, push the saw forwards along the sawing
line. Never pull the saw backwards.
• After sawing, lift the saw upwards and turn it
off. If a lot of sawdust has been created, allow
the saw to continue running until all the dust
has been removed.
Tips for cutting out shapes:
• If the hole will later be covered, for
example by a fan filter, then the cuts in the
corners can overlap so that the piece
easily falls out.
• If the hole remains visible, it is better not
to overlap the cuts in the corners. Since a
round blade is used, the piece that is to be
cut out will not fall out immediately. The
corners will have to be finished with a
knife. If the material is thin and it is not
important what the back looks like, then
the piece to be cut out can be pushed out.
• If it is possible to saw at the back, then the
piece which is to be cut out can be
marked with an overcut margin. The piece
can then be sawn from the back so that
the corners look nice at the front. A scale
of margins is given in the specifications.
N.B.: It is not possible to cut pieces out of some
hard materials.
