Starting Operation

To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off switch to the left (7) first. Then press the on/off switch (8) and keep it pressed.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (8). Then press the lock-off button (7) to the right again.

You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (8) to varying extents.

Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (8) results in a low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch increases the stroke rate.

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.
