3. Set the base plate (6) to the desired position (-45° --
+45°).
There are a total of 7 levels that can be set (-45°,
-30°, -15°, 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°).
4. Slide the base plate (6) forward into one of the latch
stops.
5. Tighten the Allen screws (7) with the Allen key (15).

Setting the pendulum stroke (Fig.
5)
With the pendulum stroke switch (8) it is possible to set
the pendulum movement of the saw blade (14).
The following positions are available for the pendulum
stroke switch (8):
0 -
No stroke
1 -
Low stroke
2 -
Moderate stroke
3 -
Powerful stroke
The optimum stroke strength can be determined by
practical testing, with the following recommendations:
• Fine and clean cutting edges can be achieved with
little or no pendulum movement (level 1 or 0).
• For thin material, hard material (e.g. steel) and for
curve cutting also use level 0.
• Soft material (wood, plastic, etc.): Set the pendulum
to level 2 or 3.
Note:
With the pendulum stroke activated, work progress be-
comes increasingly faster.

Connecting external dust
extraction unit (Fig. 1)
Note:
You can connect the suction hose of a vacuum cleaner
(with an outer diameter of 35 mm) directly to the prod-
uct without an adapter, if necessary.
9.4.1
Connecting an external dust
extraction unit
1. Connect the vacuum hose of a hoover (not included
in scope of delivery) to the connection for the dust
extraction unit (5).
9.4.2
Taking off the external dust
extraction unit
1. Take off the vacuum hose from the connection for
the dust extraction unit (5).
9.5
Plunge cuts (Fig. 6)
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials such as
wood, aerated concrete, plasterboard, etc. However,
this requires some practice and is only possible with
short saw blades. Plunge cuts are only permitted if the
mitre angle is 0°.
1. Place the front edge of the base plate (6) flush on
the workpiece.
2. Slowly saw into the workpiece with a downward mo-
tion until the base plate (6) rests completely on the
workpiece.
3. Continue sawing along the cut line.
4. Switch off the saw and lift it off the workpiece when
finished.
9.6
Metal cuts
• Use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when machining
metal. Violations can lead to significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased in-
stead of using a coolant. The scope of delivery in-
cludes a saw blade for wood, use suitable saw
blades for metal cuts.
10 Working instructions
• Check the material to be processed for foreign ob-
jects such as nails, screws etc. and remove them.
• Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
• Switch on the product and only then approach the
material to be processed.
• Switch the product off immediately if the saw blade
jams. Spread the already sawn gap with a suitable
tool and pull out the product.
• Adjust the saw blade and stroke rate to suit the ma-
terial to be processed.
• Saw blades optimised for each application of your
product are commercially available in different
lengths.
• Saw the material with a steady feed.
10.1
Information on operation
* = not included in the scope of delivery!
1. Secure or fasten (if possible) the workpiece is a
clamping device*.
2. Draw a line to indicate the direction towards which
the saw blade is guided.
3. Securely hold the product by the handle.
4. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a hooked, jammed
or incorrectly aligned saw blade, which leads to an
uncontrolled rebounding of the saw, whereby it
moves out of the workpiece in the direction of the
operator.
5. Set the saw speed using the on/off switch.
6. Set the mitre angle as described under Setting the
mitre angle (Fig. 4).
7. Set the pendulum stroke position as described un-
der Setting the pendulum stroke (Fig. 5).
8. Advance the product very slowly when cutting
curves.
9. Before pressing the on/off switch, make sure that
the saw blade is correctly fitted, and that moving
parts run smoothly.
10. Switch the product on.
