Safety precautions
When using electric tools, the following fundamental
safetyprecautionsmustalwaysbeobservedinorderto
avoid the risk of injury, electric shock and fire hazards.
Please read and observe the instructions below before
using the tool.
1. Use protective equipment.
2. Wear suitable working clothing.
Don’t wear loose clothing, loose long hair or jewellery
asitcanbecomecaughtupinmovingpartsoftheelec-
tric tool. Wear non-slip shoes.
3. Make the working area safe.
Objects which could cause injury should be removed
from the working area. Ensure that the area is well lit.
Whenworking,keepotherpersonsoutsidetherangeof
the tool you are using.
4. Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account.
Don’texposethetooltorainorsnowanddon’toperate
it in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
5. Check the tool each time before use.
Check the condition of the tool, the supply cord and
mainsplug. Don’t use itif it is damaged,incomplete or
ifthecontrolscannotbeoperatedcorrectly.Beforefur-
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be carefully checked to determine that it
willoperateproperlyandperformitsintendedfunction.
Check for alignment or moving parts, free running of
movingparts,breakageofparts,mountingandanyoth-
er conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
otherpartthatis damaged should be properly repaired
orreplacedbyanauthorizedservicecentreunlessoth-
erwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defec-
tiveswitches replaced by an authorized service facility.
Donotusethetooliftheswitchdoesnotturnitonand
off.
6. Use the correct insert tool.
Ensurethattheinserttools(sawbladesetc.)areequipped
withtheappropriateconnectionendtofitthebladeholder
on the electric tool and that they are clamped in posi-
tion correctly in the blade holder.
Use only the recommended original Hilti accessories
and auxiliary equipment.
7. Use the tool only for the purposes for which it is
intended.
Donotforcesmalltoolsorattachmentstodothejobof
a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example, do not use circular saws to cut
tree limbs or logs.
8. Apply a safe working method.
Avoidunfavourablebodypositions.Alwaysensureyou
have a safe stance. Always hold the tool in both hands
when it is in use . To ensure optimum efficiency and
safetywhenworking,thecontactshoeofthetoolmust
always be pressed against the workpiece.
Alwaysusesawbladesofadequatelength.To avoid kick-
back, the end of the blade must always project at least
40 mm beyond the workpiece throughout the entire
stroke.Itwilldothejobbetterandsaferatheratefor
which it was intended.
The blade may become stuck unexpectedly. Switch off
the tool if your attention is distracted from your work.
When the tool is in use, always guide the supply cord
away from the tool to the rear.
Never carry the tool by the supply cord. Don’t unplug
thetoolbypullingonthesupplycord.Don’texposethe
supply cord to heat, oil or sharp edges. If the supply
cordbecomesdamaged while working, don’t touch it-
unplug the mains plug immediately.
Never place your fingers or a hand in front of the saw
blade when working with the saw.
9. Take care to avoid concealed cables and pipes.
Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes pre-
sent a serious hazard if damaged while you are work-
ing.Accordingly,checktheareainwhichyouarework-
ingbeforehand(e.g.usingametaldetector).Avoidcon-
tactbetweenyourbodyandearthed/groundedobjects
such as pipes or radiators. External metal parts of the
tool may become live, for example, when an electric
cable is cut into inadvertently.
10. Avoid unintentional starting.
Don’tcarry the tool with your finger on the control switch
whileitisconnectedtothemainssupply. Check that the
tool is switched off before connecting it to the mains
supply. Pull the plug out of the mains socket when the
tool is not in use, e.g. during pauses between work,
before maintenance and when changing insert tools.
11. Keep the electric tool and insert tools in good
condition.
Followthecareandmaintenanceinstructionsandreplace
insert tools in good time. Never operate the tool when
itisdirtyorwet.Whennotinuse,toolsshouldbestored
in a dry, high or locked-up place, out of reach of chil-
dren.Dustordampnessonthesurfaceofthetoolmake

Failuretoobserve this point may result in damage to the
toolorpresentariskofaccident.Accordingly, if neces-
sary, have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre or
authorised Hilti repair workshop.
12. Always wear protective gloves and suitable
protective goggles when working as saw blades may
break or splinter.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.

Operation
Inserting the blade
Use only blades with a standard 1/2″shank connection
end.
a) Unplugthesupply cord from the mains socket
to prevent unintentional starting.
b)Check that the connection end of the blade is clean.
Always ensure that the blade clamping mechanism
is kept clean.
c) Turn the blade clamp locking sleeve in a counter-
clockwisedirection.Insertthebladeinthebladeclamp
and press in the locking sleeve. Release the locking
sleeveuntilitisheardtoengage.Checkthatitisheld
securely by pulling on the blade .
Note: Ifthesawbladecannotbeinsertedintotheblade
clamp, turn the locking sleeve a little until the blade is
in the correct clamping position and then release the
locking sleeve.
Removing the insert tool
a) Unplug the supply cord from the electrical sock-
et to prevent unintentional starting.
b)Turn the locking sleeve and pull out the blade .
Wear protective gloves. The insert tool
may be very hot after long periods of use.
Sawing
Setting the stroke rate
The recommended stroke rate can be pre-selected by
turningthestrokerateadjustingwheel  tothedesired
setting. When the operating switch is pressed the saw
will then run at the pre-selected stroke rate. The pre-
selectedstroke rateremainsalmostconstant, evenunder
load, thanks to the tool’s built-in constant-speed elec-
tronics, which also prevent overheating of the machine
whenworking withthepipe-cuttingadaptor.Themachine

ingswitch again. Therecommendedstrokerate settings

Shouldyourequire insert tools not included in the stan-
dardprogramme,pleasecontacttheHilticustomerser-
vice department or your Hilti sales representative. Hilti
offers a comprehensive range of special insert tools in
professional quality.
Check your insert tools at regular intervals and
replace them in good time. A damaged or badly worn
connectionendmayresultindamagetothepowertool.
Please observe the instructions on care and mainte-
nanceofyour insert tools given in the following section.
Take care to ensure that saw blades are always
stowed away in their own compartment in the toolbox.
Damage to the supply cord caused by the sharp teeth
of the saw blades can thus be avoided.
The Hilti Corporation accepts no liability for damage of
this kind or any resulting consequential damage.

andisthusquickandconvenient.Correct adjustment
of the contact shoe ensures that the full length of the
sawbladecan be used optimally and may also improve
access in corners.
Plunge sawing
The plunge sawing technique should be used only on
soft materials and when the orbital action is switched
off. A little practise is required in order to be able to
plungethe blade into thematerial while the sawis run-
ningandthus make cut-outs without first drilling a hole.
Plunge sawing is possible only with short saw blades.
Plunge cuts may be started with the saw in one of two
different positions: in the normal position  or in the
reversed position .
Hold the saw with the front edge of the contact shoe
againsttheworkpiece and switch on. Press the saw firm-
ly against the workpiece and begin the plunge move-
ment by reducing the angle of the saw (contact shoe)
to the workpiece.
Whenthebladehaspassedthroughtheworkpiece,bring
thesawinto the normal working position (the entire sur-
face of the shoe in contact) and then continue sawing
along the line.

Disposal
Mostofthe materials from which Hilti powertoolsare manufactured can be recycled. Thematerialsmust be cor-
rectly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements for taking
back your old electric tools for recycling. Please ask your Hilti customer service department or Hilti sales repre-
sentative for further information.
Shouldyouwishtoreturntheelectrictoolyourselftoadisposalfacilityforrecycling,proceedasfollows:Dismantle
the tool as far as possible without the need for special tools. Use absorbent paper to wipe lubricated parts clean
and to collect the grease that runs out (total quantity approx. 50 ml). This paper should also be disposed of cor-
rectly. On no account should grease be allowed to enter the waste water system or to find its way into the
ground.
