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 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 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

. The pipe-cutting adaptor, used to obtain perfect cuts in pipes, is shown in the illustration .

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 pow- er 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 tool- box. 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.

Care and maintenance

Care of the tool

The outer casing of the tool is made from impact-resis- tant plastic. Grip sections, the dust shield and the sup-

ply cord protective sleeve are made from an elastomer material.

Clean the outside of the tool at regular inter- vals using a slightly damp cloth. Don’t use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the elec- trical safety of the tool. Always keep the grip surfaces of the tool free from oil and grease. Don’t use cleaning agents which contain silicone.

Never operate the tool when the ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using a dry brush. Don’t permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the tool.

Clean off dirt and dust deposits and protect your insert tools from corrosion by wiping them from time to time with an oil-soaked rag. Always keep the connection end clean and lightly greased.

Maintenance

Regularly check all external parts of the tool for damage and check that all controls operate fault- lessly. Don’t operate the tool when parts are damaged or when the controls do not function faultlessly. Have your tool repaired by a Hilti service center.

Repairs to the electrical sections of the tool may be car- ried out only by trained electrical specialists.
