WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-and instructions may result in electric shock, nd/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents.
4. Special Safety Instructions
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
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).
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
- To extract dust more efficiently, use the protective cap (9) and a suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner together with this tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
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 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.

6.1 Fitting the anti-splintering footplate insert

Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. Remove the saw blade before fitting (8) the anti-tering footplate insert.
Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from the front, ensuring the following:
- The smooth side of the footplate faces upwards.
- The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains cable).
If you wish to work with the protective plate attached (see chapter Accessories 10.), 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 not. Wear protective gloves.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn.
- Push the clamping lever (1) forwards up to the stop and release (the clamping lever remains open).
- 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).
- Push back the clamping lever (1) to its original position (the saw blade is now clamped securely in position).
6.3 Attaching / Removing the protective cap
Attachment: Push on the protective cap (9) from the front until it engages
Removal: Grip both sides of the protective cap (9), lift slightly, then pull forwards and remove.
6.4 Sawing with dust extraction
- Connect a suitable extraction device to the extractor connection piece (16). Use a suction hose with a 30 mm connector diameter.
- Attach the protective cap (9) for maximum extraction efficiency.
- Switch off the chip blower (see chapter 7.1).
6.5 Sawing without dust extraction
- Work with the protective cap (9) removed (see Removal chapter 6.3).
6.6 Diagonal cuts
Remove the protective cap (9), anti-splintering footplate insert (8) and extraction hose. These parts cannot be used for diagonal cuts.
- Slacken the screw (4).
- Slid the footplate (5) forwards slightly and turn.
- Then slide the footplate (5) forwards or backwards and engage in one of the detents (the detents can be viewed through the semicircular opening at the rear of the footplate (5).) The preset angle is indicated on the curved support plate (17) on the footplate. Adjust to different angles using an angle gage.
- Tighten the screw (4) again.
6.7 Sawing close to the wall
Remove the protective cap (9), anti-splintering footplate insert (8), 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.
