Assembly
Battery Charging
 Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery
The battery 9 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 8 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 9, press the battery unlocking button 8
and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear. Do
not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication (see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
12 indicate the charge condition of the battery 9. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 11 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 9 is removed.

Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
 When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw
blade holder is free of material residue, e. g. wood or
metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
beginning of these instructions. Use only ½" universal shank
saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Press the saw blade 1 firmly into the saw blade holder 3 until
it can clearly be heard to engage. This causes the locking
sleeve 4 to turn by approx. 90° and locks the saw blade.
If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking sleeve 4 ap-
prox. 90° in the direction of the arrow until it locks in the open
position and a "click" can be heard. Then press the saw blade
1 into the saw blade holder 3 again.
 Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be turned through
180° (with the teeth pointed upwards) and re-inserted again.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
 When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such
a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by
the ejected saw blade.
Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the direction of the
arrow. The saw blade 1 is ejected.
Dust/Chip Extraction
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
