Fitting the saw blade
Disconnect the tool from the power supply.
Switching ON/OFF
The saw is started by pressing the on/off switch. The switch can be maintained in the
operating position by using the lock-on button. Pressing and releasing the on/off switch
once more can release the lock-on button.
Pendulum stroke adjustment
Together with the electronic speed regulation, the pendulum stroke adjustment helps to set
the best combination of blade speed and aggressiveness needed to achieve a desired cut
rate and fineness. The pendulum knob is used to make the adjustment. The best pendulum
stroke setting for the particular work to be carried out can be obtained from the following
table. When using a knife blade, the pendulum setting should be 0. It is recommended the
use of appropriate lubrication for cutting metal.

Electric speed regulation
The electronic speed control wheel is used to adjust the saw speed. In this way, the speed
can be adapted to the material being worked. Turn forward to increase and back to
decrease speed. The larger the number, the quicker is the speed.
Always hold the machine firmly closed to the surface to be processed. Start
cutting only when the motor attains full speed.
Cutting
Cut at an even rate and take care not to overload the saw, excessive force on the saw will
prevent the pendulum action operating correctly and reduce the cutting efficiency. When
cutting tight curves, reduce or switch off the pendulum motion.
