Removing the battery
The battery 3 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 4 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 3, press the battery unlocking button 4
and pull the battery toward the rear out of the power tool. Do
not exert any force when doing this.
Battery Charge-control Indication
(see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
16 indicate the charge condition of the battery 3. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 15 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 3 is removed.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Flashing light 1 x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 15, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as dur-
ing transport and storage, remove the battery
from the power tool. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching the saw
blade.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only T-shank saw blades. The saw blade should not be
longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.

Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure B)
Clean the shank of the saw blade before
inserting it. An unclean shank cannot be fastened
securely.
Insert the saw blade 10 into the stroke rod 17 until it latches.
The lever 11 automatically snaps to the rear and the saw
blade is locked. Do not manually press the lever 11 toward
the rear, otherwise you could damage the machine.
While inserting the saw blade, pay attention that the back of
the saw blade is positioned in the groove of the guide roller 9.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the Saw Blade (see figure C)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the
machine in such a manner that no persons or
animals can be injured by the ejected saw
blade.
Turn the lever 11 all the way forward in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow. The saw blade is released and ejected.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment addi-
tives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
• As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable for
the material.
• Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
• It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can easily ignite.
