Working instructions
Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Press the machine with the guide (11) against the
workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then
guide the saw blade against the workpiece.
Do not make contact with any objects or with the
ground with the moving saw blade (risk of recoil or
of breaking the saw blade).
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade (partic-
ularly in the case of long saw blades).
If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a suitable
tool and take out the machine.
After completing the sawing cut, switch off the
machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to
place it down once the saw blade has come to a
standstill (danger of recoil).
Lock the machine with the switch-on lock (4) to
prevent it from switching on inadvertently.
Plunge cuts:
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials
such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.
Hold the machine with both hands at the intended
handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on
the work.
See illustration, page 3: The machine is pressed
with the edge of the guide (11) against the work-
piece. The saw blade does not make contact with
the workpiece. Switch on machine. The corner of
the guide serves as a pivot point around which the
machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade
cuts into the workpiece.
8. Servicing
On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the motor ventilation slots.
Clean regularly: Press button (10) and remove
guide (11). Hold the device downwards in a vertical
position without the saw blade and, using your
hand, lightly tap on the machine. The accumulated
dust falls out. Do not oil or grease.
9. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
See page 4.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating instruc-
tions.

11. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Battery packs must not be disposed of with regular
waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your
Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with
water!
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In

and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the
power tool. Prevent the contacts from short-
circuiting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive
tape).
