and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly

Battery Charging

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Removing the battery
To remove the battery (2), press the battery release but-
tons (1) and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not
use force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
The three green LEDs on the battery charge indicator (4) in-
dicate the battery's state of charge (2). For safety reasons, it
is only possible to check the state of charge when the power
tool is not in operation.
To display the state of charge, press and hold the battery
charge indicator button (3) when the power tool is switched
off.

Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Insert the charged battery (2) into the battery receptacle,
making sure you feel it engage and it is securely locked in
place.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (5) for-
wards so that I appears on the switch.
To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (5)
backwards so that 0 appears on the switch.

Working Advice

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.
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
u
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
Wear protective gloves during work. Make sure that
u
cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body. Sharp
burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury.
When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending
sheet parts away from your body.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80° to 90° to the surface
of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting
direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool will
significantly reduce the service life of application tools and
can damage the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
