Switching on, speed:

 press the trigger switch (9). 

The stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the 

trigger. 

Switching off: 

Let go of the trigger switch (9) .

Continuous activation:

 With the trigger (9) 

pressed, push in the locking button (8) and 

release the trigger. Press and release the trigger 

(9) again to switch off.

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 handles provided, stand 

securely and concentrate.

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  (2) 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  (2) 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. 

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 (3) and blow out with compressed air. Do not 

oil or grease.

Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance 

System) battery packs and accessories.
See page 4.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements 

and specifications listed in these operating instruc-

tions.
