(Original instructions)
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The integral 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 integral battery should be left connected to 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).
u
Leave the tool connected to the charger for around 4
u
hours.
Fitting and removing the saw blade (fig. B)
Hold the saw blade (9) with the teeth facing forward.
u
Lift the saw blade locking lever (3) upwards.
u
Insert the shank of the blade fully into the blade clamp (4)
u
as far as it will go.
Release the lever.
u
To remove the saw blade (9), lift the saw blade locking
u
lever (3) upwards and pull the blade out.
Switching on and off (fig. C)
To switch on, slide the lock off switch (2) to the left then
u
pull and hold the variable on/off trigger switch (1). The
speed is determined by the amount the trigger switch is
pulled
To switch off, release the trigger switch (1).
u
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.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
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.
