preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long you or people nearby are
exposed to them.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work, thus less
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

The machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger (10). Then
continue working as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
6.2
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (7) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
"Li-Power, LiHD" lithium ion battery packs have a
capacity and signal indicator (9):
- Press the button (8), the LEDs indicate the charge
level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.

Removing and inserting the battery pack
To remove the battery pack: Press the battery pack
release button (6) and remove the battery (7) pack.
To fit the battery pack: Slide in the battery pack (7)
until it engages .
6.4
Fitting and removing the saw blade
Before carrying out any work: Remove the
battery pack.
Do not touch the saw blade immediately
following operation of the tool, as it can be
extremely hot and can lead to skin burns.
Use jigsaw saw blades as a general rule.
