Secure the guide firmly using the clamping
lever. The clamping lever must lock into
place.

Pendulum action of the saw blade

The pendulum action of the saw blade increases
the sawing power (particularly in the case of soft
materials such as wood and plastics). Further-
more, the pendulum action reduces the stress
applied to the saw blade, as it is raised when emer-
ging from the workpiece.
Use the rotary switch (6) to switch the pendulum
action on and off.
Pendulum action ON
Pendulum action OFF
For particularly exact sawing cuts and for proces-
sing metals: switch off the pendulum action.

6 Operation

6.1

Switching on and off

To switch on: press the trigger switch (7).
To switch off: let go of the trigger switch (7).
6.2

Stepless stroke rate setting

The stroke rate can be changed steplessly by
varying the pressure applied to the trigger switch
(7), thus adapting it to the material and working
conditions.
6.3

Working Directions

Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Depending on the use case, switch the pendulum
action on or off.
Press the machine with the guide (1) 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 (danger of
recoil!)
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade (parti-
cularly in the case of long saw blades).
If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off imme-
diately. 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).
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 Fig. B, page 3. The machine is pressed with
the edge of the guide (1) against the workpiece.
The saw blade does not make contact with the
workpiece. Switch on the 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.

Tips and Tricks

To saw tight curves: Use narrow saw blades.
Sawing metal: To increase the life of the saw
blades, apply cooling lubricant along the cutting
line.

7 Maintenance

On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the rear ventilation slots.
Regularly clean the saw blade quick-clamping
device (2) and blow out with compressed air. Do
not oil or grease.

8 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer. The dealer needs to know the exact model
designation of your power tool in order to select
the correct accessory.
