Brief description The sawdust blower removes sawdust The on-off switch is shaped in such a way that it can be used from the forward or the rear holding position. ahead ofthe cut very practical when sawing along a line. The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the adjustment wheel.(not for ST 400, ST 440) Transparent cover for | optimum sawdust sé removal.

The ant-splintering device almost entrely prevents the edge ofthe wood from splintering. (Accessory*) The base plate can be tited to both sides by 459 for bevel cuts The vibration damper permits quieter running by means of a counterweight on the plunger. ENGLISH The on-off switch can be fixed in the "On"- position for continuous operation by means of the locking button. Integrated suction channel for connection to à vacuum-cleaner.

Integrated tool storage for spare blade. The buittin pendulum stroke improves the cutting performance. The pendulum stroke of the saw blade means itis only pressed against the material on the reverse stroke (working stroke) and led off the material on the forward stroke Result better extraction of sawdust, lower friction => higher cuttng performance. The penduium stroke can be adjusted by the pendulum stroke control and thus adapted to different kinds of material.

Inserting the saw-blade Adjusting the base plate On-/off switch ENGLISH

Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine Slide the transparent cover downwards, then the clamping screw is more accessible. Loosen the clamping screw about 2 revolutions by means of the hexagonal llen key (fited into the base plate). Fitthe saw blade into the groove ofthe support roller [al and push itfirmiy into the plunger as far as {will go: the lug ofthe saw blade must contact the end of the (©)] plnger (see ilustration) Retighten the clamping screw. Check thatthe saw blade is sitting firmly (wear protective gloves!) The base plate can be tilted or moved backward or forward. Setting an angle &> For angle cuts and bevels Loosen the fixing screw, pull the base plate out of the mounting, set it atthe required angle (15°, 30°, 45°), push it back into the mounting and tighten the fixing screw again. Angles other than 450 can be set by not pushing the base plate back into the mounting The angle can be read off the scale. For very exact angle cuts itis recommended to make a test cut. Moving the base plate > For plunge cuts or cuts in comers. Loosen the fixing screw, push the base plate to the rear and tighten the fixing screw again. The base plate in this position is fixed at the 0° setting. Moving back => For cutting a hole with a short saw blade and sawing near the edge Take the fixing screw out, push the base plate to the rear and screw the fixing screw tight}y into the rear hole. In this position the base plate can also be offsset in longitudinal direction: Intermittent use Suitching on: Press On-Joff switch Suitching off: Release On-/off switch Continuous use Switching on: Press the On-Joff switch and then the locking button, after that release on-off switch Switching off: Press the On-Joff switch and then release.

Advice for operation

Sawing sheet metal Plunge cuts Anti-splintering ice (Accessory*) ENGLISH Setthe stroke and pendulum stroke according to the material to be cut. Position the machine with the front part of the base plate on the material, and switch on. Press the machine dounwards onto the material and guide it along the cuttng line. Do not press down too hard on the piece you are cutting. Light pressure on the saw blade is sufficient to achieve the optimum rate of sawing. When cutäng along a score line, use the marking on the anti-splintering device as an optical guide. To obtain a perfecty straight cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the material or use the parallel guide (accessory). For cutüng at an angle, or cutting a bevel, adjust the base plate For sawing close to the edge, set the base plate at its rearmost position. To avoid vibration, clamp metal sheets onto a wooden base To saw metal, use cooling agents along the cutting line (oil, white spirit) Plunge cuts without pre-driling a hole are possible with soft materials (wood, light building materials for walls). Harder materials (metals) must fist be drlled with à hole corresponding to the size of the saw blade. Move the base plate to the rearmost setting in order to obtain the best possible cuttng angle for starting the cut(see section ‘Adjusting the base plate”) Setthe pendulum stroke at the pendulum stroke control to “0”. Without switching the machine on, place it with the front edge of the base plate on the cutting point. Switch the machine on and carefully lower the saw blade already running into the material. The ant-splintering device almost entirely prevents the edge of the wood from Splintering, Place the anti-splintering device as shown in the illustration with the smooth side downwards and flush with the base plate {this is only possible with the base plate in the forward position). “Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory.

Parallel guide and circle cutting juide (Access ory*) Assembly of parallel guide Cutting a circle Plastic protection shoe (Accessory*) Assembly Dismanting Maintenance ENGLISH Using the parallel guide or circle cuttng, parallel cuts of 0-200 mm, circular cuts of 100-400 mm are possible. Use cross-cut saw blades. Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory. Push the parallel guide, with the contact surface facing downwards, through the lugs in the base plate and fasten itin position with the capstand-headed screw. For cutting from the left or from the right, push the parallel guide in from the appropriate side Push the parallel guide, with the contact surface facig upiards, through the lugs in the base plate and fasten itin position with the capstand-headed screw Tighten the centre point into the parallel guide from the top. Ensure that the saw blade and the circle centre point form one single line. When working on delicate surfaces please use the plastic protection shoe. “ot included in standard equipment, available as an accessory. Fitthe plastic protection shoe to the front ofthe base plate (as illustrated) and fix the lugs with the back of the base plate. Bend up both lugs and remove the plastic protection shoe. Further accessories with part numbers are shown in our catalogues.
