Recommendations for Optimal Handling
of the Battery
English
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 char-
ging indicates that the battery has deteriorated
and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
English
Remove the battery from the power tool
u
before carrying out work on the power tool
(e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The
battery should also be removed for trans-
port 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,
u
wear protective gloves. Blades are sharp and
can become hot when used for prolonged
periods of time.
While replacing the saw blade, ensure that
u
the saw blade receptacle is free of material
residue, e.g. wood or metal chips.
Selecting the saw blade
Only use saw blades with a 1/2" universal shank.
The saw blade should not be longer than re-
quired for the intended cut.
Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
Turn the locking sleeve (3) approx. 90° in the dir-
ection of the arrow and hold it firmly. Push the
saw blade (1) into the saw blade receptacle (10).
Release the locking sleeve again.
Check that it is seated securely by pulling
u
the saw blade. A loose saw blade can fall out
and lead to injuries.
For particular jobs, the saw blade (1) can also be
flipped 180° (teeth point upwards) and refitted.
Removing the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Let the saw blade cool down before remov-
u
ing it. There is a risk of injury when touching
the hot saw blade.

Dust/Chip Extraction
English
Dust from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dust can cause allergic reactions
and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user
or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is con-
sidered carcinogenic, especially in connection
with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood
preservative). Materials containing asbestos may
only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace.
u
Dust can easily ignite.
Operation
English
Starting Operation
English
Switching On and Off (see figure C)
To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off
switch to the left (5) first. Then press the on/off
switch (6) and keep it pressed.
The worklight lights up when the on/off switch
(6) is lightly or fully pressed allowing the work
area to be illuminated in poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off
switch (6). Then press the lock-off button (5) to
the right again.
Controlling the stroke rate
You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the
power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/
off switch (6) to varying extents.
Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (6)
results in a low stroke rate. Applying increasing
pressure to the switch increases the stroke rate.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the ma-
terial and the work conditions and can be de-
termined using practical tests.
It is recommended that you reduce the stroke
rate when placing the saw blade on the work-
piece and when sawing plastic and aluminium.
During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke
rate, the power tool may heat up significantly.
Remove the saw blade and let the power tool
run at the maximum stroke rate for around three
minutes to cool down.
