A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full
capacity until after approx. 5 charging/discharging cycles.
When the battery charge-control indicator 7 lights up red while the On/Off switch 1
is pressed, then the battery has less than 30% of its capacity and should be charged.
– Plug the mains plug of the battery charger into a socket outlet and the charger plug
10 into the socket 9 on the rear side of the handle.
The battery charge-control indicator 7 indicates the charging progress. The indicator
flashes green during the charge procedure. The battery is completely charged when
the indicator lights up green continuously.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine warms up. This is normal.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when not using it for longer
periods.
 Protect the battery charger against moisture!
Observe the notes for disposal.
Changing the Tool (see figures B1 – B3)
– Secure the lock-off button 2.
– Rotate the blade 4 with a screwdriver until one of the holes in the blade is free
(uncovered).
– Insert a thin, sturdy object (e.g., a nail) into the free hole, to block the blade.
– Unscrew the blade screw 11 in rotation direction .
– Remove the object with which you blocked the blade.
– Lightly lift the blade 4 and pull it down and out.
– Attach the new blade onto the tool holder ensuring that the ground edge of the
blade faces you.
Pay attention that the blade engages onto the tool holder.
– Retighten the blade screw 11 in rotation direction .

Working Advice

 Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.
The cutting performance of the machine depends on the materials to be cut and on
the charging condition of the battery.
Depending on the charge condition of the battery, excessive feed considerably
reduces the performance capability.
Always keep the blade free and clean of material remainders.
The guide edge 5 may not become wedged during cutting and must be aligned paral-
lel to the cutting surface.
Improper use of the blade will cause it to become blunt.
Thin materials, such as fabrics, can be pulled into the machine during cutting and
become wedged. Therefore, do not apply too much pressure with such materials in
order to achieve good cutting results. During cutting, apply sufficient tension while
holding fabrics and cut slowly.
Optimum cutting results are best determined through practical testing.
