To avoid vibration, clamp metal sheets onto a wooden base.
To saw metal, use cooling agents along the cutting line (oil, white spirit).
Plunge cuts without pre-drilling a hole are possible with soft materials (wood, light
building materials for walls). Harder materials (metals) must first be drilled with a hole
corresponding to the size of the saw blade.
Move the base plate to the rearmost setting in order to obtain the best possible
cutting angle for starting the cut.(see section ”Adjusting the base plate”)
1. Set the pendulum stroke at the pendulum stroke control to “0”.
2. Without switching the machine on, place it with the front edge of the base plate on
the cutting point.
3. Switch the machine on and carefully lower the saw blade already running into the
material.

Using the parallel guide or circle cutting, parallel cuts of 0–200 mm, circular cuts of
100–400 mm are possible. Use cross-cut saw blades.
*Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory.
Push the parallel guide, with the contact
surface facing downwards, through the
lugs in the base plate and fasten it in
position with the capstand–headed screw.
For cutting from the left or from the right,
push the parallel guide in from the
appropriate side.
Push the parallel guide, with the contact
surface facing upwards, through the lugs
in the base plate and fasten it in position
with the capstand–headed screw.
Tighten the centre point into the parallel
guide from the top.
Ensure that the saw blade and the circle
centre point form one single line.
Further accessories with part numbers are shown in our catalogues.
In order to guarantee constant readiness for operation, the machine should be
checked for worn carbon brushes at one of the AEG after–sales service agencies.
Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be
replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service
agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the ten–digit
No. as well as the machine type printed on the label and order the drawing at your
local service agents or directly at: Atlas Copco Electric Tools GmbH, Postfach 320,
