Technical Data
Assembly
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery (see figure A)
The battery 10 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 16 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 10, press the battery unlocking button
16 and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear.
Do not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
11 indicate the charge condition of the battery 10. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 12 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 10 is removed.
When no LED lights up after pushing button 12, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
During the charging procedure, the three green LEDs light up
one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully
charged when the three green LEDs light up continuously. The
three LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the battery
has been fully charged.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw
blade holder is free of material residue, e.g. wood or
metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
beginning of these instructions. Use only ½" universal shank
saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Swing the lever for saw blade release 4 approx. 60° in the di-
rection of the arrow and hold it in place. Slide the saw blade 1
into the saw blade holder 18. Release the lever for saw blade
release 4 again.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
