The optimal orbital action setting for the respective applica-

tion can be determined through practical testing. The follow-

ing recommendations apply:

– Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a

finer and cleaner cutting edge.

– For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital

action off.

– For hard materials such as steel, work with low orbital

action.

– For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the

grain, work with maximum orbital action.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figure J)

The base plate 9 can be swivelled by 45° to the left or right for

mitre cuts.

Remove the vacuum connection 20.

In mitre angle 0° there is a pin in a corresponding recess.

Loosen the screw 24 with the Allen key 29 until you can slide

the base plate 9 in toward the battery 1. Let the pin slide into

the guide groove.

For adjustment of precise mitre angles, swivel the base plate

9 to the desired position according to the scale 25. Every an-

gle can be adjusted to 45° using a protractor.

Tighten the screw 24 again.

The vacuum connection 20 and the splinter guard 22 cannot

be used for bevel cuts.

Starting Operation

Removing the battery (see figure K)

To remove the battery 1 press the unlocking buttons 2 and

pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any force.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 7 forwards.

To switch off the power tool, push the On/Off switch 7 back

to the “0” position.

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

Controlling the Stroke Rate

With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 4, the

stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation.

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 aluminium.

After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine

can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the ma-

chine and allow the machine to cool down by running it for ap-

prox. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-

loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not kept within the

permitted battery temperature range, the speed is reduced or

the power tool switches off. At reduced speed, the power tool

will run again at full speed once the permitted battery temper-

ature is reached or the load is reduced. During automatic

shut-down, switch off the power tool, allow the battery to cool

down, then switch the power tool back on.

Temperature Control/Overload Protection Indicator

The red LED indicator 6 will help you in protecting the battery

against overheating and the motor against overloading.

When the LED indicator 6 continuously lights up red, the

temperature of the battery is too high and the machine

switches off automatically.

– Switch the power tool off.

– Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.

The LED indicator 6 flashes red, the power tool is blocked

and switches off automatically.

Remove the power tool from the workpiece.

As soon as the blockage is corrected, the power tool will con-

tinue to work at the set stroke rate.

Protection Against Deep Discharging

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.

Switching on the LED Work Area Illumination

With the button 3 you can switch on the LED work light. The

work light is switched off by default.

Restarting Protection

The restarting protection prevents uncontrolled starting of

the machine after a power failure. Once the restarting protec-

tion is active, the temperature control/overload protection in-

dicator blinks 6 continuously.

To restart the operation, switch the On/Off switch 7 to the

Off position and start the machine again.

Note: When switching off and on again very quickly, it is pos-

sible that the restarting protection is triggered; this will pre-

vent the power tool from starting, although the On/Off switch

7 is actuated. Set the On/Off switch 7 to the off position, and

then switch the power tool on again.

Working Advice

 When sawing small or thin workpieces, always use a

firm support.

Contact Protector

The contact protector 19 attached to the casing prevents

accidental touching of the saw blade during the working pro-

cedure and may not be removed.

The outwardly curved edge over the extraction hood 16 pre-

vents the hand from slipping away in the sawing range.

Plunge Cutting (see figure G)

 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such

as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!

Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is

possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.

Place the machine with the front edge of the base plate 9 on

to the workpiece without the saw blade 14 touching the work-

piece and switch on. For machines with stroke rate control,
