Temperature Control Indicator
The red LED of the temperature control indicator 28 signals
that the battery or the electronics of the power tool (when the
battery is inserted) are not within the optimum temperature
range. In this case, the power tool will not operate at full ca-
pacity.
Temperature control of the battery:
– The red LED 28 lights up continuously after inserting the
battery into the charger: The battery is not within the
charging temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C and
cannot be charged.
– The red LED 28 flashes when you press the 26 button or
the On/Off switch 3 (with battery inserted): The battery is
outside of the permitted operating temperature range.
– For battery temperatures over 70 °C, the power tool
switches off until the battery is in the optimal temperature
range again.
Temperature control of the power tool electronics:
– The red LED 28 lights up continuously when pressing the
On/Off switch 3: The temperature of the machine's elec-
tronics is below 5 °C or above 75 °C.
– At a temperature above 90 °C , the electronics of the pow-
er tool switch off until the temperature is within the allow-
able temperature range again.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
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.

Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material
to be worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are
formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)
The parallel guide 11 enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.
Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide;
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the
auxiliary guide.

Utility Hook (see figure F)
Your tool is equipped with a utility hook 1 for hanging it, e. g.,
to a ladder, etc. Simply fold out the utility hook 1 to the re-
quired position.
 When the power tool is hung, pay attention that the
saw blade is protected against accidental touching.
Danger of injury.
Fold the utility hook 1 back in again when you are ready to
continue working.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft,
clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely
and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area
around the retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and
chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-
rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must
be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts.
Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.
