ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Your machine is double insulated in accordance
with EN 50144; therefore no earthwire is required.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they
have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert
the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable reel always unwind
the reel completely.
OPERATION
CHANGING/FITTING THE BLADE
Fig.B
Ensure the machine is unplugged.
•Loosen the grub screw with the 3 mm hexagon key.
•Insert the saw blade between the stroke rod and the
clamping plate.
•Take care that the securing pin of the stroke rod
engages in the hole of the saw blade. (Saw blade can
not be pulled out).
•Retighten the grub screw.
•When changing the saw blade, take care that the
blade holder is free of material residue (e.g. wood or
metal shavings),
•Before using the saw make sure the saw blade is
secure.
USE
Fig.C
Make sure that the saw blade does not rest on or
touch any objects when the machine is switched on.
Switching on
•Put the on-off trigger switch (4).
Switching off
•Release the on-off trigger switch.
•The on-off trigger switch can be locked on for conti-
nuous operation by pressing the trigger lock button
whilst pulling the trigger.
•To release the trigger lock, simply pull the trigger
switch again.
SPEED CONTROL
•During operation and whilst the machine is at rest the
stroke rate (speed) can be selected using the thumb-
wheel (5). The stroke rate will remain constant even
under load.
•The stroke rate required depends upon the material
conditions. The optimal setting should be determi-
ned in use.
•After working for longer periods at low speed you
should allow the machine to cool down by running it
at maximum speed with no-load for approx. 3 minu-
tes.
