must not be moved back for cuts that are close to the edge.

Press the splinter guard

Dust/Chip Extraction



Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, 
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to 
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause 
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of 
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered 
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials 
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the 
materials to be worked.



Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. 

Dusts can 

easily ignite.

Operation

Operating Modes



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.

Orbital Action Settings

The four orbital action settings allow for optimal adaptation of 
cutting speed, cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the ma-
terial being sawed.

The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever 

6

, 

even during operation.

The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-
tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-
ing recommendations apply:

– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a 

finer and cleaner cutting edge.

– For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital 

action off.

– For hard materials such as steel, work with low orbital ac-

tion.

– For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the 

grain, work with maximum orbital action.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figure C)

Loosen the screw 

15

 and lightly slide the base plate 

5

 in the 

direction of the mains cable.

For adjustment of precise mitre angles, the base plate has ad-
justment notches on the left and right at 0 ° and 45 °. Swivel 
the base plate 

5

 to the desired position according to the scale 

14

. Other mitre angles can be adjusted using a protractor.

Afterwards, push the base plate 

5

 to the stop in the direction 

of the saw blade 

8

.

Tighten the screw 

15

 again.

The splinter guard 

13

 can not be inserted for mitre cuts.

Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure C)

For sawing close to edges, the base plate 

5

 can be offset to 

the rear.

Loosen the screw 

15

 and slide the base plate 

5

 to the stop to-

ward the mains cable.

Tighten the screw 

15

 again.

Sawing with the base plate 

13

 offset is possible only with a mi-

tre angle of 0 °. The splinter guard 

13

 may not be used.

Starting Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To 

start

 the machine, press the On/Off switch 

3

.

To 

lock

 the On/Off switch 

3

, keep it depressed and push the 

lock-on button 

1

 to the right or left.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

3

. When 

the On/Off switch 

3

 is locked, press it first and then release it.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Controlling/Presetting the Stroke Rate

Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 

3

enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on ma-
chine.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 

3

 results in a low stroke 

rate. Increasing the pressure also increases the stroke rate.

When the On/Off switch 

3

 is locked, it is not possible to re-

duce the stroke rate.

With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 

2

, the 

stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation.

The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the 
working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial.

Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw 
blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic 
and aluminium.

After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine 
can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the ma-
chine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for ap-
prox. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

Working Advice



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.



When working small or thin work pieces, always use a 
sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).

Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign 
objects such as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, if 
required.
