When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to

health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.

Operation

Operating modes

uRemove the battery from the power tool before carry-

ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-

moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury

from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (seefigureJ)

The base plate (7) can be swivelled to the right or left to

make mitre cuts up to 45°.

The hood (8) and anti-splinter guard (18) cannot be used

while mitre cuts are being made.

– Remove the hood(8), the anti-splinter guard(18) and

the glide shoe(17).

– Pull the saw blade storage compartment(16) out of the

base plate(7).

– Loosen the screw(23) and push the base plate(7)

slightly towards the extraction outlet(6).

– The base plate has lock-in points at 0°, 22.5° and 45° on

the left and right so that the precise mitre/bevel angle can

be adjusted. Swivel the base plate(7) to the required po-

sition according to the scale(22). Other mitre/bevel

angles can be adjusted using a protractor.

– Then push the base plate(7) towards the saw blade(10)

as far as it will go.

– Retighten the screw(23).

Cut Control for mitre cuts (see figureK)

To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the

viewing window for CutControl (11) has a mark (24) for

right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (25) for rightward- and

leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale

(22).

The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is propor-

tional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for

CutControl (11) using a non-permanent marker and easily

removed again.

We recommend making a test cut for precise results.

Moving the base plate (see figureJ)

You can move the base plate (7) back for sawing close to

edges.

Pull the saw blade storage compartment(16) out of the base

plate(7) or remove the glide shoe(17).

Loosen the screw (23) and push the base plate (7) towards

the extraction outlet (6) as far as it will go.

Retighten the screw (23).

Sawing with an offset base plate (7) is only possible with a

mitre angle of 0°. In addition, CutControl must not be used

with the base (9), the parallel guide with circle cutter (27)

(accessory) or the anti-splinter guard (18).

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can

lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.

Insert the charged battery(4) into the battery receptacle un-

til you feel it engage and it is securely locked in place.

Switching on/off

To switch on the power tool, press the lock-off switch (1)

first. Then press the on/off switch (2) and keep it pressed.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (2) cannot be

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Controlling the stroke rate

You can variably adjust the stroke rate of the power tool

when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (2) to varying

extents.

Applying light pressure to the on/off switch (2) results in a

low stroke rate. Applying increasing pressure to the switch

increases the stroke rate.

The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and

the work conditions and can be determined using practical

tests.

It is recommended that you reduce the stroke rate when

placing the saw blade on the workpiece and when sawing

plastic and aluminium.

During prolonged periods of use at a low stroke rate, the

power tool may heat up significantly. Remove the saw blade

and let the power tool run at the maximum stroke rate for

around three minutes to cool down.

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

temperature is reached or the load is reduced. If it automat-

ically shuts down, switch the power tool off, allow the bat-

tery to cool down, then switch the power tool back on.

The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator (3) flash

quickly when the temperature of the battery is outside the

operating temperature range of −20 to +50°C and/or the

overload protection has been triggered.

Working Advice

uRemove the battery from the power tool before carry-

ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-

moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury

from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

uSwitch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade

becomes blocked.

uWhen machining small or thin workpieces, always use

a stable base or saw table (accessory).
