Heavy contamination of the machine can lead to malfunc-
tions. Therefore, do not saw materials that produce a lot of
dust from below or overhead.
Plunge Cutting (see figure C)
 The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable for treat-
ing soft materials such as wood, plaster board or simi-
lar! Do not work metal materials with the plunge cut-
ting procedure!
 Use only saw blades with a maximum length of 100 mm
for plunge cutting. When longer saw blades are used, the
footplate 2 cannot be rested on the workpiece and the
power tool does not have the required hold.
Place the machine with the edge of the footplate 2 onto the
workpiece and switch on. For power tools with stroke speed
control, set the maximum stroke speed. Press the power tool
firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to slowly
plunge into the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the surface of the work-
piece, continue sawing alongside the desired cutting line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be inserted turned
through by 180° and the sabre saw can be guided accordingly
in a reversed manner.
Flush Cuts (see figure D)
Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still attached to a wall
(e. g. projecting building elements such as water pipes, etc.)
can be sawn off flush at the wall.
Position the saw blade directly against the wall and apply
some lateral pressure via the tool until the footplate faces
against the wall. Switch the power tool on and saw through
the workpiece, applying constant lateral pressure.
Utility Hook (see figure E)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 5 for hanging it, e.g.,
to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out the utility hook 5 to the re-
quired position.
 When the power tool is hung up, take care that the saw
blade is protected from accidental contact. This poses a
risk of injury.
Fold the utility hook 5 back in again when you are ready to
continue working.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Clean the saw blade holder preferably with compressed air or
a soft brush. Remove the saw blade from the power tool for
this. Ensure proper operation of the saw blade holder by ap-
plying a suitable lubricant.
