Assembly
Warning!
Before assembly, ensure the lock-off button is in
the locked position.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell
temperature warms up or cools down.
Insert the charging connector (8) into the charging port (7).
u
Plug in the charging connector (8).

Leave the tool connected to the charger for around 4

u
as far as it will go.
Release the lever.
u
To remove the saw blade (11), lift the saw blade locking
u
lever (3) upwards and pull the blade out.
Switching on and off (fig. C)

Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load.
Warning! Always slide the lock off switch (2) to the right, the
locked position when the tool is not in use.

u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
6
(Original instructions)
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
If possible, work with the shoe plate (6) pressed against
u
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce
tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being
damaged.
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a finetooth
u
saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
