ENGLISH

● Avoid overloading.

Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the

cut. Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed

in the workpiece or in contact with the material.

Prior to operation:

● Mount the appropriate type of saw blade. Use narrow saw blades for

cutting curves. Use ﬂ exible bimetal saw blades for hard-to-reach

positions (e.g. close to walls, etc.).

Switching on and off (ﬁ g. A)

● To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1). The pressure

exerted on the variable speed switch determines the tool speed.

● To stop the tool, release the switch. Always switch off the tool when

work is ﬁ nished and before unplugging.

Cutting wood

● Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and metal objects.

● Holding the tool with both hands, work with the saw shoe pressed

against the workpiece.

Plunge cutting in wood (ﬁ g. C)

● Rest the saw shoe on the workpiece in such a position that the blade

forms an appropriate angle for the plunge cut.

● Switch the tool on and slowly feed in the blade. Make sure that the

saw shoe remains in contact with the workpiece at all times.

Pocket cuts

● Measure and mark the required pocket cut.

● Using a narrow saw blade rest the bottom of the saw shoe on the

workpiece and make sure that the blade is positioned on the cutting

line. If necessary, e.g. in conﬁ ned spaces, use the outer edge of the

saw shoe as your guideline.

● Switch on the tool and feed the blade into the material at full speed,

holding the tool ﬁ rmly against the workpiece.

Dust extraction

● When the tool is used indoor for extended periods of time, use a

suitable dust extractor designed in compliance with the applicable

Directives regarding dust emission.

Cutting metal

● When cutting thin metal always stabilize the workpiece with wood on

both sides. This guarantees clean cuts and prevents damaging of the

material.

● For long, straight cuts draw a line on the workpiece.

● Apply a thin ﬁ lm of lubricant along the cutting line, switch on the tool

and follow the cutting line.

Cutting plastics

● Always work at reduced speed. Carry out a test cut to check whether

the material is sensitive to heat.

Cutting masonry

When sawing asbestos cement hazardous dust may be

produced. Follow the statutory guidelines and observe the

recommendations issued by the asbestos cement manufacturers.

Sawing up to a projecting edge (ﬁ g. D)

● Using a conventional blade installed upside down, cut up to the

projected edge.

Parallel cutting (ﬁ g. E)

With the blade installed in the horizontal orientation, the tool can be

used for parallel cutting close to ﬂ oors, walls or ceilings.

● Make sure that the saw shoe remains in contact with the workpiece

at all times.

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate

accessories.

Maintenance

Your D E WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long

period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory

operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Lubrication

● If the tool will not be used for a long period of time, coat the saw

blade with a little oil (e.g. machine oil).

Cleaning

Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with a

soft cloth.
