Protection Against Deep
Discharging
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Pro-
tection (ECP)". When the battery is empty,
the tool is switched off by means of a protec-
tive circuit.
Do not continue to press
the trigger switch after
the tool has been automatically switched
off. The battery can be damaged.
Lock-Off Button
The lock-off button is designed to prevent ac-
cidental starts.
To lock the trigger switch (8), press the lock-
off button (7) on the side with the lock sym-
bol.
To unlock the trigger switch (8), press the
lock-off button (7) on the side with the un-
lock symbol.
Variable Speed Controlled
Trigger Switch
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
controlled trigger switch (8). To turn the tool
on, push the lock-off button (7) on the side
with the unlock symbol and pull the trigger
switch (8) (Fig. 5). The tool will turn itself off
as soon as you release the trigger.
The blade stroke rate can be adjusted from
the minimum to maximum stroke rate by the
pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the
material and the working conditions and can
be determined by a practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended
when the saw blade engages in the material
as well as when sawing plastic and alumi-
num.
