Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the
machine.
1. Push the tension lever as far as it will go,
as shown in the illustration.
2. Fit the saw blade into the groove in the
support roller and push it firmly into the
plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the
saw blade must be in the plunger (see
illustration).
3. Release the tension lever and the saw
blade is gripped automatically.
4. Check that the saw blade fits firmly (wear protective
gloves!); the slot in the plunger must always be at an
angle to the saw blade (see illustration below).
When fixing the saw blade it might be in a slightly
sloping position.
When first cutting it will adjust automatically.

Modifications: Text, diagrams and data are
correct at the time of printing. In the interest of
continuous improvement of our products,
technical specifications are subject to alteration
without prior notice.
The on-off switch can be fixed in the
On- position for continuous operation
by means of the locking button.
The on-off switch is shaped in such a way
that it can be used from the forward or the
rear holding position.
The built-in pendulum stroke improves the cutting performance.
The pendulum stroke of the saw blade means it is only pressed
against the material on the reverse stroke (working stroke) and
lifted off the material on the forward stroke.
Result: better extraction of sawdust, lower friction > higher cutting
performance.
The pendulum stroke can be adjusted by the pendulum stroke
control and thus adapted to different kinds of material.
The sawdust blower removes sawdust ahead of
the cut very practical when sawing along a line.
The anti-splintering device almost entirely
prevents the edge of the wood from
splintering.
Integrated suction channel
for connection to a
vacuum-cleaner.
The vibration damper permits quieter running by
means of a counterweight on the plunger.
Integrated tool storage for
spare blade.
The base plate can be tilted to both sides by 45
o
for bevel cuts.
The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw
blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the
adjustment wheel.
The saw blade can be changed in seconds by
using the tension lever.
Transparent cover for optimum sawdust removal.
