Original Instructions We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that these jigsaws, identified by type and serial number *1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2) and standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see page 3. The machine is suitable for sawing non-ferrous metals and sheet steel, wood and similar materials, plastics and similar materials. Any other use is not permitted. The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by inappropriate use. Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed. For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! WARNING – Reading the operating instruc- tions will reduce the risk of injury. WARNING – Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents. Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live lead may also make metal power tool parts "live" and lead to an electric shock. Using clamps or other means, fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable base. If you hold the workpiece only with your hand or against your body, it will remain unstable and this could lead to a loss of control. Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector). During work, the workpiece must lay flat and be secured against moving, e.g. using clamps. Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces. When sawing, the footplate must make secure contact with the workpiece. When interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece while the saw blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade is touching the workpiece. Let the saw blade reach full speed before making a cut. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If the saw blade seizes, it may kickback from the workpiece when the saw is restarted. Keep hands well away from the sawing area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: - Lead from lead-based paints, - Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and - Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body. Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits,

1. Declaration of Conformity

• depending on equipment/not in scope of delivery Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the type plate match your power supply. Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream. Never operate the machine without a saw blade. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning.

6.1 Fitting the anti-splintering footplate

insert Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. Remove the saw blade before fitting the anti- splintering footplate insert (7). Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from the front, while noting the following 2 items:

• The smooth side of the footplate points upward.

• The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains cable). If you are working with the protective plate attached, fit the anti-splintering footplate insert in the protective plate.

6.2 Inserting the saw blade

Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves. Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn. - Push the protective cap (10) upward. - Turn the clamping lever (1) forwards to the stop and hold in place. - Insert the saw blade (3) up to the stop. Ensure that the saw teeth are facing forwards and the blade is seated correctly in the groove on the saw blade support roller (2). - Release the clamping lever (1). (It returns to its initial position by itself. The saw blade is now securely tightened).

6.3 Sawing with dust extraction

- Connect a suitable extraction device to the extractor connection piece (15). - For optimum dust extraction performance, push the protective cap (10) downward.

6.4 Sawing without dust extraction

- Work with the protective cap (10) pushed up.

Push protective cap (10) upward. Remove anti-splintering footplate (7) and extraction hose. These parts cannot be used for diagonal cuts. - Slacken the screw (4). - Rotate footplate (5). - The preset angle is indicated on the curved support plate (18) on the footplate. Adjust to different angles using an angle gage. - Tighten the screw (4) again.

6.6 Sawing close to the wall

Remove the protective cap (10), anti-splintering footplate insert (7), circular-cutting and parallel guide. These parts cannot be used when sawing close to the wall. - Slacken the screw (4) until the footplate (5) can be raised slightly. - Raise the footplate (5) slightly and slide backwards up to the stop. - Tighten the screw (4) again.

7.1 Adjusting the pendulum motion

Set the required pendulum motion using the adjustment lever (6). Position "0" = pendulum motion is switched off

Position "III" = maximum pendulum motion See page 3 for recommend setting values. The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial.

Set the machine to maximum speed using the setting wheel (11). This can also be done during operation. See page 3 for recommend setting values. The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial.

7.3 On/Off switch, continuous activation

On: Press the trigger switch (12). Off: Release the trigger switch (12). Continuous operation:The trigger switch (12) can be locked using the lock button (13) for continuous operation. Press the trigger switch (12) again to stop the machine. In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore always hold the machine with both hands using the handle provided, stand securely and concentrate. Clean the machine regularly. This includes vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the motor. Clean the saw blade clamping fixture regularly and thoroughly by blowing with compressed air. If necessary, clean the openings behind the saw blade support roller (2). Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller (2) from time to time. Plunging The jigsaw blade can plunge into workpieces made from thin, soft materials without the necessity of drilling a hole beforehand. Only use short saw blades. Only at 0° angle setting. See illustration on page 2. Set the adjustment lever (6) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (5) on the workpiece. Hold the operating jigsaw firmly and guide slowly downwards. Once the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion can be activated. In thicker workpieces, a hole for inserting the saw blade must be drilled first. Use only genuine Metabo accessories. Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements and specifications listed in these operating instructions. Fit accessories securely. If the machine is operated in a holder: Secure the machine well. Loss of control can cause personal injury. See page 4.
