Starting Operation

  • Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.

To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2) forwards so that "I" appears at the switch.

To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2) backwards so that "0" appears at the switch.

  • Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.

To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (2).

To lock the on/off switch (2), keep it pressed down and push the locking mechanism (1) to the right or left.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2). If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and then release it.

The Constant Electronic control keeps the stroke rate at no load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform performance.

You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (2) to varying extents.

Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (2) results in a low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch increases the stroke rate.

You can preselect the stroke rate and change it during operation using the stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (3).

The required stroke rate depends on the material and the working conditions and can be ascertained through practical tests.

A reduction in the stroke rate is recommended:

  • When positioning the saw blade on the workpiece in order to be able to position the saw blade more precisely,
  • When sawing plastic and aluminium to prevent the material from melting.

During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke rate, the power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade and let the power tool run at the maximum stroke rate for around three minutes to cool down.
