generators or sources that convert DC to AC,
the red charging indicator (8) may blink twice,
switch OFF and repeat. This indicates a
temporary problem of the power source.
The charger will automatically switch back to
normal operation.
Refresh mode (fig. A)
The refresh mode helps to maintain
the optimum capacity of the battery

Saw blades
A wide variety of dedicated saw blades is available
as an option.
Always select your saw blade with great
care.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is
secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
and do not exert side pressure on the
saw blade. If possible, work with the saw
shoe pressed against the workpiece.
This prevents damage to the blade and
stops the tool from jerking and vibrating.
• When sawing in walls or floors be aware
of the location of pipework and wiring.
Always hold the tool by its handle.
• Avoid overloading.
