Need help?Do you have a question about the Erbauer 3663602796244 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides instructions for the Erbauer ERS18-Li reciprocating saw, a cordless power tool designed for cutting various materials.
The Erbauer ERS18-Li is a reciprocating saw primarily intended for cutting wood, MDF, chipboard, plastic, and metal using appropriate saw blades. It is designed for handheld operation, with the guide plate resting flat against the workpiece during use. The tool is not intended for stationary use on a workbench.
The ERS18-Li features a tool-free guide plate adjustment lever (11) for adjusting the guide plate (1) position, allowing users to set the stroke length based on the saw blade length and workpiece thickness. It's crucial to ensure the saw blade extends beyond the workpiece throughout the stroke.
The tool is equipped with an ON/OFF switch (5) combined with a lock button (4) to prevent unintentional starting. To operate, the lock button (4) is pressed to the left, then the ON/OFF button (5) is pressed. Releasing the ON/OFF button (5) turns the tool off. For safety, it's recommended to return the lock button to the locked position (fully right) when not in use.
Speed control is integrated into the ON/OFF switch (5); the speed is proportional to how far the trigger switch is depressed. An automatic LED work light (2) illuminates when the trigger switch is slightly depressed and turns off shortly after release, providing additional light for operation in low-light conditions.
For cutting, users should insert the appropriate saw blade (13), hold the tool with one hand on the handle (6) and the other on the gripping surface (3). The tool should be switched on and allowed to reach full speed before being placed on the workpiece. The guide plate (1) must lay flat on the workpiece, and the tool should be moved at an even speed.
Plunge cutting (F) is possible only on soft materials like wood or gypsum plasterboards, using short saw blades. The front edge of the guide plate (1) is placed on the workpiece, the tool is switched on and allowed to reach full speed, then pressed firmly against the workpiece to slowly plunge the saw blade. Once the guide plate's complete surface rests on the workpiece, sawing along the cutting line can continue.
Pocket cutting (G) allows starting a cut in the center of a workpiece. This requires drilling a pilot hole of at least 25 mm on the cutting line. The saw blade (13) is then inserted into the hole, ensuring it doesn't touch the workpiece, and the tool is switched on to full speed before moving.
The Erbauer ERS18-Li requires no additional lubrication or maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Users should keep the tool clean and free of dust. After use, the tool should be stored in a dry place, out of reach of children.
The battery pack should be charged with the specified charger. A charger suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another. Only Erbauer battery packs should be used with this tool.
The battery pack has a POWER BAR with LED indicators to show the remaining charge:
To remove the battery pack, depress the battery pack release button and slide the battery pack out. To insert, slide the battery pack into the tool until it clicks.
Different saw blades are used depending on the workpiece material. Always use saw blades according to the intended use. For example, never use a wood saw blade for metalworking. Saw blades are sharp and should be handled with protective gloves. To change saw blades, pull out the tool-free blade change lever (10). Insert a suitable saw blade (13) into the blade socket (12) up to the stop and release the lever (10). The blade can be fitted in upwards or downwards direction. To remove, pull out the lever (10) and pull the blade out.
The manual emphasizes reading all safety warnings and instructions carefully before handling the tool. Key safety points include:
The manual includes warnings about dust particles created during operation, which can contain chemicals known to cause cancer or other harm. It advises reducing dust exposure by using appropriate building product sizes, alternative work methods, approved safety equipment (dust masks), and dust extraction facilities. Information on vibration levels is provided, and users are directed to the technical specifications for the tool's vibration emission values. The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive is mentioned, highlighting the importance of understanding vibration levels for safe daily usage.
Erbauer offers a 2-year guarantee against manufacturing defects. The guarantee requires proof of purchase and covers defects in materials and workmanship, but not normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage caused by improper maintenance.
The Erbauer ERS18-Li complies with relevant EU directives, including 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive) and 2015/863 amending 2011/65/EU (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
