Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. This unit may not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack of experience and without the appropriate knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone who is 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3132 responsible for their safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard to how the unit is to be operated. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. 1 Work area a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2 Electrical Safety a Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f If it is not possible to avoid using the electrical tool in a damp environment, use a residual current circuit-breaker. The use of a residual current circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electrical shock. 3 Personal safety a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off- position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3233 wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. h If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. 4 Power tool use and care a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5 Service a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. b To avoid hazards, damaged power leads must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service representative. 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3334 6 – Safety instructions relating specifically to the equipment

• Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Torn, bent or blunt blades should be replaced immediately.

• Match the tool insert, stroke rate and pendulum action to the material in question. Pay attention to an even feed.

• The unit may only be operated with the footplate mounted. When working, the footplate should always rest against the work piece.

• Always start the unit before introducing it to the work piece.

• Do not process materials that contain asbestos. When processing other materials that contain fibres, use a face mask and dust extraction unit.

• If the device is to be used outside, it must be connected via a residual current circuit-breaker. Extension cords and plugs must be certified for outdoor use.

• Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by applying pressure to the sides.

• Secure the work piece to prevent it from slipping by using tensioning mechanisms.

• Make sure that cables always lead away from the work place.

• During operation, always guide the device with both hands and ensure that you are standing firmly.

• The device should never be allowed to get wet and should not be operated in a damp environment.

• Prior to each use, check the device, the cable and the plug. Any damages should only be repaired by a specialist. Only plug the device into the socket when the machine is switched off.

• When carrying out work in which dust is generated, wear a face mask and safety goggles - do not smoke and avoid naked flames.

• When handling saw blades and rough materials, wear gloves.

• When changing a saw blade, wear protective gloves to prevent injuries caused by the sharp cutting edges of the blade.

• Wear ear-protectors.

• Wear safety goggles.

• Before carrying out any work on the machine, pull the plug out of the socket.

• Do not leave keys in the machine.

• Observe the general safety notes for handling electrical tools. 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3435 Safety notes for the laser projector. Do not look at the laser beam.

• Never point the laser beam towards people or animals.

• Never use the laser beam on very reflective materials. There is a risk posed by the reflected light.

• Have repairs to the laser projector carried out by specialists only.

• Do not introduce hard objects into the laser optic (13).

• Clean the laser optic with a soft, dry brush. 7 – Installation and setting Electronic stroke rate control/stroke rate pre-selection function To saw according to the material type, use the adjustment wheel (2) to set a suitable stroke rate 1–6 (0–3000 min

) and control using the On/Off switch (1). The adjustment wheel also serves to implement stepless adjustments of the stroke rate during operation. Pendulum The adjustable pendulum movement (P) of the saw blade (0 for hard materials, up to 3 for soft materials) improves the adjustment of the machine to the material being processed. And at the same time, it reduces wear on the saw blade, improves the rejection of shavings and considerably reduces the formation of heat caused by friction.The activation of the pendulum function may also be carried out when the machine is already running. Recommendations regarding the machine settings can be found on Figure 4. Inserting the saw blade (Figure 2) CAUTION! Disconnect the power before each change of saw blade! Turn and hold the ring of the saw blade holder (A) in the (a) direction. Insert a saw blade into the holder as far as it will go, or remove an existing one. Release the ring. Slot the saw blade into the groove and push it in as far as it will go, ensuring that the spine fits well into the groove of the guide roll. The ring returns to position (b) and locks the saw blade in place. Parallel stopper The supplied parallel stopper is pushed through the accommodation point on the saw shoe and fixed using two screws (Figure 1). The parallel stopper enables parallel cuts along a stopper edge. Dust removal The extraction hose of the household vacuum should be fitted to the extraction opening (7) on the jigsaw or to the supplied adapter (2). The drawn down cutting protection element (6) will improve the efficiency of the dust removal process. Mitre/bevelled cuts The saw shoe (10) is set to the middle position (O°) when the machine leaves the factory. To set it for mitre or bevelled 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3536 cuts, loosen the holding screw of the shoe with the adjustment wrench (Figure 3) and push the shoe forwards from the rest position. Set the cutting angle (8) by turning the to the right or left. The angles 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° are marked but intermediate values may also be selected. Tighten the holding screw up again. When carrying out cuts at an angle, push the cutting protection element (6) up as far as it will go. 8 – Operation Insert mains plug into an outlet

• ON: Press switch (1) and hold.

• OFF: Release switch (1).

• Continuous operation ON: Press switch (1), actuate lock knob (2) and lock in place.

• Continuous operation OFF: Press switch (1) again - lock knob jumps out of locking device and release. 9 – Mode of operation Sawing Do not force the saw; this causes the saw blade to overheat and bend and/or break. If material to be cut is thin, place it on an additional board/plate to dampen vibrations and improve cutting. Drop sawing If the workpiece is to be sawn in the middle and holes cannot be bored in it, set the oscillation to 0, loosen the footplate, push it back and lock it. Hold the machine at an angle and carefully allow the blade to slide on to the workpiece (Fig. 5). As soon as the workpiece is sawn through, continue working with the machine in the normal position. Laser projector The beam from the laser projector makes it easier to carry out straight cuts a) along a pre-drawn cutting line on the work piece b) or by pointing it at a marked fixed point on the work piece. The range of the beam is approximately 65 cm, depending on the ambient lighting. The laser projector is switched on/off as required using the On/Off switch (14). 10 – Maintenance and environmental protection Regularly dust sawdust off housings, ventilation openings and movable parts. Where applicable, wipe off with a damp cloth. Do not drop electrical machines in water. Apply a light coat off oil to saw blade guide roller from time to time. Use a fine brush to remove sawdust from the laser optic. Do not introduce pointed objects into the optic. CAUTION! Electrical and battery operated units that no longer work should not be disposed of in the household waste! They are to be collected separately, in accordance with the 2012/19 EU directive for the disposal of electrical and electronic 5453380-Pendelhub-man 06.02.14 07:48 Seite 3637 waste, and sent for proper and environ - mentally-friendly recycling.
