Pass on your power tool only together with these documents. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a live lead can also energise metallic objects and lead to electric shock. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy shoes when working with this tool. Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing. Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector). Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not use saw blades that are cracked or that have changed their shape. Always position the power cable so that it leads away from the back of the machine. Always hold the machine with both hands on the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Always work with the guide attached. When sawing, the guide must make secure contact with the workpiece. When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not contain any water. Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces. Clamp workpiece properly e.g. using clamping fixtures. Under no circumstances should you hold the workpiece with your hand or foot. Keep hands well away from the sawing area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade. Do not touch the moving saw blade! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. After stopping work, the saw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves. Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. LED lights (6): Do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments. Reducing dust exposure: Some of the particles generated using this power tool may contain substances known to cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: Lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long the user or nearby persons are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the body. Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.

• 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.

6.1 Fitting and removing the saw blade

Danger of injury due to the sharp saw blade. After stopping work, the saw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves. Pull the mains plug out of the socket. For access to the saw blade quick-clamping device (2), adjust the guide (9) if required. 1 Fold the lever (5) of the saw blade clamping fixture upwards and hold. 2 Insert the saw blade (8) until the stop or remove. 3 Release the lever (5). 4 Check that the saw blade is securely seated. Note: In case the saw blade ever brakes off and cannot be removed by hand from the saw blade clamping fixture: Fold the lever (5) of the saw blade clamping fixture upwards and hold. Engage the tip of a saw blade in the broken section and pull it out. A fine-toothed metal saw blade is best suited for this task.

6.2 Setting the guide

The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the guide (9) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall). Occasionally shift the guide (9) to achieve even wear of the saw blade. 1 Press the button (10) and shift the guide (9) to the desired position. 2 Release the button (10) and shift the guide until it engages. Check the guide (9) to ensure that it is securely fitted. It has to be engaged.

7.1 Set pendulum action (SSEP 1400 MVT)

The pendulum action of the saw blade increases the sawing power (particularly in the case of soft materials such as wood and plastics). Furthermore, the pendulum motion reduces the stress applied to the saw blade, as it is raised when emerging from the workpiece. Set the required pendulum motion using the adjustment lever (4). Recommended setting values: 0 = pendulum motion is deactivated. for thin material, fine cuts, tight curves 1 = for hard materials (e.g. steel, chipboard) 2 = for thick materials (e.g. wood, plastic) 3 = maximum pendulum motion for fast cuts (e.g. coniferous wood) The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial.

7.3 On/Off switch, continuous activation

Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. Switching on: Press the trigger switch (1). The stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the trigger. Switching off: Release the trigger switch (1). Continuous operation: The trigger switch (1) can be locked using the lock button (2) for continuous operation. Press the trigger switch (1) 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.

7.4 Working Directions

Sawing: Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn. SSEP 1400 MVT: Set pendulum motion according to the applications. Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn. SSEP 1400 MVT: Set maximum stroke rate according to the applications. Press the machine with the guide (9) against the workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then guide the saw blade against the workpiece. Do not make contact with any objects or with the ground with the moving saw blade (danger of recoil!) Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade (particularly in the case of long saw blades). If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off immediately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a suitable tool and take out the machine. After completing the sawing cut, switch off the machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to place it down once the saw blade has come to a standstill (danger of recoil). Plunge cuts: Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades. Hold the machine with both hands at the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Set the adjustment lever (4) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is deactivated). See illustration B, page 2: The machine is pressed with the edge of the guide (9) against the workpiece. The saw blade does not make contact with the workpiece. Switch on the machine. The corner of the guide serves as a pivot point around which the machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade cuts into the workpiece.

7.5 Sawing close to the wall

Set the adjustment lever (4) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is deactivated). See illustration D, page 2. When sawing near the wall, the saw blade can be put into the saw blade clamping fixture with the teeth pointing upwards (contrary to the normal working position). Ensure that the pendulum action is deactivated. To saw tight curves: Use narrow saw blades. Sawing metal: To increase the life of the saw blades, apply cooling lubricant (cooling lubricant rod 6.23443) along the cutting line. On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out the machine through the rear ventilation slots. Regularly clean the saw blade quick-clamping fixture (2) and blow out with compressed air.
