Removing the Battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out. Do not use force to do
this.
The rechargeable battery has two locking levels to prevent
the battery from falling out if the battery release button is
pressed unintentionally. The rechargeable battery is held in
place by a spring when fitted in the power tool.
Battery charge indicator
The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Inserting/changing the saw blade
When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protect-
u
ive gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when
used for prolonged periods of time.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades
to
with single lug shank (T shank). The saw blade should not be
longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
u
A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Press the SDS lever (3) forward to the stop and hold it
down. Push the saw blade (17), with the teeth in the cutting
direction, into the saw blade receptacle (2) until it clicks into
Capacity
place.
60–100 %
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (16).
30–60 %
Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose
u
5–30 %
saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
0–5 %
Removing the saw blade (see figure B)
Push the SDS lever (3) all the way forwards and remove the
saw blade (17).
Glide shoe (see figure C)
When machining sensitive surfaces, you can place the glide
Capacity
shoe (13) on the base plate (12) in order to prevent the sur-
80–100 %
face from being scratched.
60–80 %
To position the glide shoe (13), hook it to the front of the
40–60 %
base plate (12), push it up at the back and allow it to click
into place.
20–40 %
5–20 %
Anti-splinter guard (see figure D)
0–5 %
The anti-splinter guard (19) (accessory) can prevent splin-
tering of the surface while sawing wood. The anti-splinter
guard can only be used with certain saw blade types and only
at a cutting angle of 0°. When sawing with the anti-splinter
guard, the base plate (12) must not be moved to the rear for
sawing close to edges.
Slide the anti-splinter guard (19) into the base plate (12)
from the front.
When using the glide shoe (13), the anti-splinter guard (19)
is inserted into the glide shoe rather than the base plate
(12).
