wrench.
5 Insert hexagon wrench for safekeeping in its
depot.
Check guide for correct seating.
7. Use
7.1
Switching on and off
Switching on: Press switch-on locking button (8)
and hold in; then actuate the trigger (9).
(The switch-on locking button (8) can be pressed
from the left and the right machine sides.)
To switch off: release the trigger switch (9).
7.2
Stepless stroke rate setting
The stroke rate can be changed steplessly by
varying the pressure applied to the trigger switch
(9), thus adapting it to the material and working
conditions.
7.3
Working Directions
Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Press the machine with the guide (4) 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
and saw blade fracture!)
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
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.
See Fig. B, page 2: The machine is pressed with the
edge of the guide (4) 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.
8. Maintenance
On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the rear ventilation slots.
Regularly clean the saw blade quick-clamping
device (5) and blow out with compressed air. Do not
oil or grease.
9. Accessories
Only use original Metabo battery packs and Metabo
accessories.
See page 4.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating instruc-
tions.
A Comprehensive range of saw blades for a wide
variety of materials and use cases
B Battery charger
C Battery packs
D Lubricating stick for cooling the saw blades
when sawing metal
For a complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or the catalogue.
10. Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must be carried out
by qualified electricians ONLY!
If you have Metabo electrical tools that require
repairs, please contact your Metabo service centre.
For addresses see www.metabo.com.
You can download spare parts lists from

11. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Battery packs must not be disposed of with regular
waste. Return faulty or used battery packs to your
Metabo dealer!
Do not allow battery packs to come into contact with
water!
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In
accordance with European Guideline 2002/
96/EC on used electronic and electric equipment
and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the
power tool. Prevent the contacts from short-circu-
iting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
