Controlling the sawing speed
You can control the speed of the power tool when switched
on by how hard you press the on/off switch (4). The speed is
continuously variable.
The sawing speed required depends on the material and the
working conditions; it can be ascertained through practical
tests.
It is advisable to reduce the sawing speed when placing the
saw blade on the workpiece.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.

Working Advice

Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade
u
becomes blocked.
Always use a sturdy support when working on small or
u
thin workpieces.
Do not carry the power tool on your wrist. The suspen-
u
sion strap is intended for storage only (see figure B).
Make sure you always cut from front to back (see
u
figure C) or from top to bottom (see figure D) when
sawing.
To increase the cutting speed, saw in a gentle rocking motion
(in the cutting direction).
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw blade jams.
Widen the sawing gap slightly with a suitable tool and pull
the power tool out.
The riving knife (10) prevents sawing against the running
direction of the chain saw (see figure E).
Put the cover (12) on the saw blade (1) after finishing work
in order to protect it.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
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.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Always clean the saw blade and saw blade receptacle
u
dry. Use a fine brush (see figure F) to remove more
deeply ingrained dirt.
The saw blade is maintenance-free. The chain of the saw
blade does not need to be oiled.
Clean the saw blade receptacle (14) regularly. To do this,
remove the saw blade from the power tool and gently tap out
the power tool on a flat surface.

If the power tool becomes very dirty, this can lead to serious
faults. For this reason, do not cut materials which generate
large quantities of dust from below or overhead.

Transport

The recommended lithium-ion batteries are subject to legis-
lation on the transport of dangerous goods. The user can
transport the batteries by road without further require-
ments.
When shipping by third parties (e.g.: by air transport or for-
warding agency), special requirements on packaging and la-
belling must be observed. For preparation of the item being
shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is re-
quired.
Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undam-
aged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the bat-
tery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging. Please also observe the possibility of more de-
tailed national regulations.
Disposal
Power tools, rechargeable batteries, accessor-
ies and packaging should be sorted for environ-
