Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched on.
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to the surface
of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
80–90°
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting
direction. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life
of the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
erally and work with low feed rate only.
Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The machine allows for cutting of metal sheet to the following

Adjusting Cutter Clearance a
Before any work on the machine itself (e.g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as dur-
ing transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
The cutter clearance a (gap between the
cutters) depends on the sheet thickness d
to be cut.
The cutter clearance a should be 10 % of
the sheet thickness d
clearance for 1 mm sheet thickness).
a
For softer or more ductile materials, the clearance a must be
decreased; for harder or more brittle materials, increased.
Loosen the fastening screw 13 for the bottom cutter. Adjust
the required cutter clearance a with the adjustment screw 12.
The upper cutter 10 and the bottom cutter 11 may not touch
each other. Check the clearance with the setting gauge 14.
Retighten the fastening screw 13 for the bottom cutter with a
tightening torque of 3–4 Nm.
Temperature Dependent Overload
Protection
If used in accordance with its intended use, the power tool
cannot be overloaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not
kept within the permitted battery temperature range, the
stroke rate is reduced or the power tool switches off. When
the stroke rate is reduced, the power tool will not run at full
stroke rate again until the permitted battery temperature has
been reached. If it automatically shuts down, switch the
power tool off, allow the battery to cool down, then switch the
power tool back on.
Recommendations for Optimal
Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
depends on
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
max
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the bat-
tery in the car in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
