4. Check that the saw blade is securely seated.
Note when using jig saw blades: Both sabre saw
and jig saw blades can be used. Use sabre saw
blades as a general rule. When inserting jig saw
blades, ensure that the jig saw blade is inserted in a
vertical position as far as the limit stop. Slowly turn
the clamping sleeve (1) back to its original position
and ensure that the jig saw blade is fitting into the
recess.
Note: Should it occur that a saw blade has broken
off and it cannot be removed by hand from the saw
blade quick-clamping device, turn the clamping
sleeve (1) in the direction of the arrow and hold it.
Engage the tip of a saw blade in the broken section
and pull it out. A fine-toothed metal saw blade is
best suited for this task.
6.4 Setting the guide
The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the
guide (12) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall).
Occasionally shift the guide (12) to achieve even
wear of the saw blade.
1. Press the button (11) and shift the guide (12) to
the desired position.
2. Release the button (11) and shift the guide until
it engages.
Check the guide (12) to ensure that it is
securely fitted.
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off, stroke rate,
switch-on lock (4):
Trigger (10) locked.
Trigger (10) unlocked.
Switching on, speed: Press the trigger (10). The
stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the
trigger.
Switching off: Release the trigger (10).
7.2 Working instructions
Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Press the machine with the guide (12) against the
workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then
guide the saw blade against the workpiece.
Do not make contact with any objects or with the
ground with the moving saw blade (risk of recoil or
of breaking the saw blade).
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
12
Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade
(particularly in the case of long saw blades).
If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a suitable
tool and take out the machine.
After completing the sawing cut, switch off the
machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to
place it down once the saw blade has come to a
standstill (danger of recoil).
Lock the machine with the switch-on lock (4) to
prevent it from switching on inadvertently.
Plunge cuts:
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials
such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.
Hold the machine with both hands at the intended
handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on
the work.
See illustration, page 3: The machine is pressed
with the edge of the guide (12) against the work-
piece. The saw blade does not make contact with
the workpiece. Switch on machine. The corner of
the guide serves as a pivot point around which the
machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade
cuts into the workpiece.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 The machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
Causes and remedies:
3. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
4. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
5. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger (10). Then
continue working as normal. Try to prevent the
machine from seizing.
9. Servicing
On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the motor ventilation slots.
Clean regularly: Press button (11) and remove
guide (12). Hold the device downwards in a vertical
position without the saw blade and, using your
hand, lightly tap on the machine. The accumulated
dust falls out. Do not oil or grease.
