When no LED lights up after pushing button 13, 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)
Press the saw blade 1 firmly into the saw blade holder 3 until
it can clearly be heard to engage. This causes the locking
sleeve 4 to turn by approx. 90° and locks the saw blade.
If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking sleeve 4 ap-
prox. 90° in the direction of the arrow until it locks in the open
position and a "click" can be heard. Then press the saw blade
1 into the saw blade holder 3 again.
 Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be turned through
180° (with the teeth pointed upwards) and re-inserted again.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
 When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such
a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by
the ejected saw blade.
Turn the locking sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the direction of the
arrow. The saw blade 1 is ejected.

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Dusts 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 dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment 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.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.

Operation

Operating Modes

 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
Pivoting Footplate (see figure D)
Due to its movability, the adjustable footplate 2 adapts to the
required angular position of the surface.
Utility Hook (see figure E)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 6 for hanging it, e. g.,
to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out the utility hook 6 to the re-
quired position.
 When the tool is hanging by the utility hook, ensure
that the saw blade is protected against unintended
contact. Danger of injury.
Fold the utility hook 6 back in again when you are ready to
continue working.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery
To protect the machine against unintentional starting, set the
stroke speed selector switch 7 to the centre position. Insert
the charged battery 10 from the front into the handle of the
power tool. Push the battery completely into the handle until
the red stripe can no longer be seen and the battery is secure-
ly locked.
Changing the Stroke Speed Setting
The stroke speed setting of the power tool can be changed
with the stroke speed selector switch 7. However, this is not
possible when the On/Off switch 8 is pressed.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – central position:
The safety lock is activated.
The On/Off switch 8 is blocked and the
machine is secured against being
switched on unintentionally.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – left:
1st gear, low stroke speed.
The low stroke speed is suitable for saw-
ing hard materials such as steel, non-fer-
rous metal, hard plastics or for precision
cuts in wood and plunge cutting.
The low stroke speed enables sawing with
less vibrations.
Stroke speed selector switch 7 – right:
2nd gear, high stroke speed.
The high stroke speed is suitable for saw-
ing soft materials.
The high stroke speed enables quicker
operational progress, e.g., for coarse
cuts in wood.
