2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of the symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

The number of revolution of the machine can be electronically set.

Wear a dust mask. Working with wood, metals and other materials may produce dust that is harmful to health. Do not work with material containing asbestos!

Safety instructions

The machine must not be damp and must not be operated in a wet environment. Wear protective gloves and sturdy footwear.

Do not saw materials containing asbestos!!!

- Wear protective goggles when working with materials which produce large amounts of chips.

• Wear a protective mask when sawing other fibrous materials.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on.
• Secure your workpiece with clamps.
• Move machine towards the workpiece only when switched on.
  • Always hold machine with both hands and ensure that you have a safe footing while working.
• The machine may be operated only with the foot plate mounted. When sawing, the foot plate must always rest on the workpiece.
• Incorrect handling may damage the machine. Therefore always comply with the following instructions.
• Use only sharp saw blades in perfect condition; replace cracked, distorted or blunt saw blades immediately.
  • Machine should only be switched on with blade installed.
• Select tools, stroke rate and pendulum actions according to material, Take care to maintain a constant reed rate.
• Do not attempt to stop the saw blade with lateral pressure after switching off.
  • Only use genuine accessories.

3. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

Prior to mounting an accessory always remove the battery.

Assembling saw blade

Fig. B

To assemble the saw, proceed as follows:

• Slide the saw buckle clamp (2) inward and hold.
• Place the saw in the saw buckle. Make sure that the teeth point downwards.
• Push the saw as far into the buckle as possible.
• Secure the saw by gently releasing the saw buckle clamp.

Adjusting the foot plate position

Fig. C

When the blade loses its sharpness at some sections of it's cutting edge, reposition the foot plate to use a sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge.

Besides this, the foot plate can also be used for adjusting maximum saw depth, especially useful when sawing in hollow walls.

- The footplate can be extended by loosening the two footplate mounting screws (9) using the 4 mm hexagon key and then pulling the footplate out to the required length.

Ensure the footplate adjustment screws are secure before resuming work.

Connecting and removing the battery

Fig. A+D

• Insert the battery into the base of the appliance, as shown on the illustration. Push the battery until it latches in.
• Press the locking button (8) on either side before removing the battery, and disengage the battery from the base of the appliance.

Only use batteries of the following type. Using any other batteries could cause serious injury or damage the tool.

• CDA1051: FPB-1800L, 18V Lithium-Ion

• CDA1053: FPB-1800N, 18V NiMH

The following chargers can be used to charge these batteries.

• CDA1052: FPL-1800 (Lithium-Ion and NiMH)

• CDA1054: FPL-1800N (NiMH only)

4. OPERATION

Always follow the safety notes and the relevant safety code.

Make sure that the saw blade does not rest on or touch any objects when the machine is switched on.

Switching on and off

Fig. J

• This machine is equipped with a safety switch (5).
• Start the machine by pressing the "lock off" button (to disengage the switch) and switch on the machine.
• Release the (On/Off) switch (7) to switch the machine off.

Speed control

Fig. 1

• During operation and whilst the machine is at rest the stroke rate (speed) can be selected using the thumbwheel (6).
• The stroke rate required depends upon the material conditions. The optimal setting should be determined in use.
  • After working for longer periods at low speed you should allow the machine to cool down by running it at maximum speed with no-load for approx. 3 minutes.

Sawing tips

• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the fluttering produced along the cut line when sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash).
• Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade seizes switch the machine off immediately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
  • After finishing work, switch off the machine and only put down after it has come to a complete standstill.

Plunge cutting

Fig. E

• Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
  • However, this requires a certain practise and is only possible with short saw blades.
• Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on.
• Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface as shown.
• Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving the saw to a vertical position and continue to saw along the cutting line.
• Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the work is complete.

Flush sawing

• Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw protruding objects (e.g, water pipes, iron bars, etc,) nearby the wall.
• Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and bend slightly so that the footplate rests against the wall.
• Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.

Rotatable handle

Fig. F

The handle can be rotated in 90° steps to the machine housing. Slide the rotation button (3) backwards and rotate the handle to the desired position. Make sure the handle locks in position before use.

LCD display

Fig. G

This machine is equipped with a LCD display.

• To turn the display on, press the display button (10) once. To turn the display off, press the display button again.
• The clock (11) and minutes (12) remaining icons indicate the number of minutes of running time that are available before the battery requires recharging (Lithium-Ion battery only)
• The battery icon (13) indicates the amount of charge remaining in the battery. Each charge bar displayed indicates approximately 10% charge remaining in the battery. A total of 10 charge bars indicates a fully charged battery.
• Press the backlight button (14) to switch the backlight of the display on. Press it again to switch the backlight of the display off.

Hex key storage

Fig. H

The included hex key can be stored in the battery compartment.

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
