The cutting performance under certain conditions, e.g. when cutting wood materials or thin sheet steel, can be increased through use of the orbital action. The orbital action is switched off or on by moving the function selec- tion switch to the corresponding end position. The switch may be operated while the motor is running or when it has stopped.
Adjusting the contact shoe
Unplug the supply cord from the mains socket in order to prevent unintentional starting.
Adjustment of the shoe does not require the use of tools and is thus quick and convenient . Correct adjustment of the contact shoe ensures that the full length of the saw blade can 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 plunge the blade into the material while the saw is run- ning and thus make
Hold the saw with the front edge of the contact shoe against the workpiece 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.
When the blade has passed through the workpiece, bring the saw into the normal working position (the entire sur- face of the shoe in contact) and then continue sawing along the line.
Blades and accessories
Use only saw blades with a standard 1/2″ connection end

Hilti power tools have been designed to work opti- mally as a system together with Hilti insert tools. Accordingly, highest performance and longest life expectancy can be achieved when you use this pow- er tool with Hilti insert tools. A comprehensive pro- gram of insert tools and accessories is available. The most important insert tools for this saw are shown on the inside of the toolbox. Details of the entire programme can be found in the current Hilti product catalogue.
Should you require insert tools not included in the stan- dard programme, please contact the Hilti customer ser- 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 connection end may result in damage to the power tool.
Please observe the instructions on care and mainte- nance of your 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.
