Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the machine can lead to

malfunctions of or cause damage to the power tool.

– Insert the charged battery 2 into the handle until it can be

felt to engage and faces flush against the handle.

Switching On and Off

– To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 5 forward so

that the "I" is indicated on the switch.

– To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 5 to-

ward the rear so that the "0" is indicated on the switch.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

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.

Note: If the machine should automatically switch off because

of a discharged or overheated battery, make sure to set the

machine's On/Off switch 5 to off. Charge the battery and al-

low it to cool down before restarting the machine. Otherwise

the battery can become damaged.

Working Advice

– Apply the power tool 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.

80–90

– Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting

direction. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service

life of the saw blade and can cause damage to the power

tool.

– When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool

laterally and work with low feed rate only.

Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity

Adjusting Cutter Clearance a

 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.

– Loosen the fastening screw 13 for the bottom cutter. Ad-

just the required cutter clearance a with the adjustment

screw 12. The upper cutter 10 and the bottom cutter 11

may not touch each other. Check the clearance with the

setting gauge 14. Retighten the fastening screw 13 for the

bottom cutter with a tightening torque of 3–4 Nm.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection

If used in accordance with its intended use, the power tool

cannot be overloaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not

kept within the permitted battery temperature range, the

stroke rate is reduced or the power tool switches off. When

the stroke rate is reduced, the power tool will not run at full

stroke rate again until the permitted battery temperature has

been reached. If it automatically shuts down, switch the pow-

er tool off, allow the battery to cool down, then switch the

power tool back on.

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.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-

cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.
