• When the 1-hour charge cycle has completed,
the light will stay on continuously and will no
longer blink. The pack is fully charged and can
be used at this time.
• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial
1-hour charge, the charger will automatically
initiate the refresh mode. This mode will
continue up to 8 hours, but the battery pack
can be removed at any time during the refresh
mode.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
has reached an appropriate temperature. The
charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery life. The red indicator blinks long, then
short while in the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
Replacing the saw blade (fig. C)
• Move the blade clamp slider (11) up to release
the blade clamping mechanism.

Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is secured in
place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do
not exert side pressure on the saw blade. If
possible, work with the saw shoe pressed against
the workpiece. This prevents damage to the
blade and stops the tool from jerking and vibrating.
• When sawing in walls or floors be aware of the
location of pipework and wiring. Always hold
the tool by its handle.
• Avoid overloading.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut. Never switch on the tool
when the saw blade is jammed in the
workpiece or in contact with the material.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
For safety reasons the variable speed switch (1)
is equipped with a lock-off button.
• Press the lock-off button to unlock the tool.
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch
(1). The pressure exerted on the variable
speed switch determines the tool speed.
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when
the saw blade touches the workpiece or
other materials.
Cutting wood
• Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all
nails and metal objects.
• Holding the tool with both hands, work with the
saw shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Plunge cutting in wood
• Rest the saw shoe on the workpiece in such a
position that the blade forms an appropriate
angle for the plunge cut.
• Switch the tool on and slowly feed in the blade.
Make sure that the saw shoe remains in
contact with the workpiece at all times.
