2.1

Designated use

The sabre saw is intended for sawing branches,
wooden laths, soft metals (e.g. copper, lead),
plastic, lightweight boards, plasterboards, etc.
The saw blade types appropriate to the material
to be sawn must be used (see Technical data).
443170_a
The sabre saw must be firmly in contact with the
material during sawing. Wide saw blades pro-
duce straight cuts. Narrow saw blades allow
curves to be sawn. The maximum permissible
material width must not be exceeded.
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use as well
as unauthorised conversions or modifications are
regarded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of
conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any
responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered
by the user or third parties.
