variable speed switch (1).
Autoselect (fig. B)
The Autoselect feature allow you to set the
optimum speed of the tool dependant on
the material you are cutting.
• Slide the Autoselect switch (3) to the top
position for cutting sheet metal.
• Slide the Autoselect switch (3) to the
middle position for cutting plastic.
• Slide the Autoselect switch (3) to the
bottom position for cutting wood and
metal tubing.
Sawing (fig. C)
• If possible, always hold the tool with
both hands using the main handle (7)
and secondary handle (8).
• Let the blade run freely for a few
seconds before starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
while performing the cut.
• Keep the shoe/branch steady (5)
pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Pruning branches (fig. D & E)
• If possible, always hold the tool with
both hands using the main handle (7)
and secondary handle (8).
• Rotate the branch steady (5) till it clicks
into place.
• Let the blade run freely for a few
seconds before starting the cut.
• Position the saw so that the blade is
above the branch and the branch steady
(6) is below the branch.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
while performing the cut.
• For proper cutting, the branch being cut
should be in contact with both sides of
the pruning shoe. The cut should be
square to the branch, and not made at an
angle. If required a rotating action could
be used to further improve the speed of
the pruning cut.
Warning! The branch steady (6) is not a
handle and should never be used as a
handle. Always hold the tool using the main
handle (7) and the secondary handle (8 or
9).
Operating in jigsaw mode (fig. F)
• If possible, always hold the tool with both
hands using the main handle (7) and
secondary handle (9).
• Rotate the branch steady (5) till it clicks
into place.
• Fit the required blade.
Hints for optimum use
• Do not exert too much pressure on the
tool.
• Regularly check the condition of
accessories. Replace when necessary.
Sawing wood
• Clamp the workpiece securely and
remove all nails and metal objects.
• When splintering is to be minimised, e.g.
when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of
scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of
the workpiece and saw through this
sandwich.
Sawing metal
• Be aware that sawing metal takes much
more time than sawing wood.
• Use a saw blade suitable for sawing
metal.
• When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a
piece of scrap wood to the back surface
of the workpiece and cut through this
sandwich.
• Spread a film of oil along the intended
line of cut.
