Variable speed control (fig. I)
The variable speed control allows you to adapt the speed of
the tool to the application.
Set the variable speed dial (2) to the desired setting. At
u
setting 1 the tool will operate at low speed, 8,000 min-1.
At setting 6 the tool will operate at the maximum speed,
18,000 min-1.
Switching on and off (fig. J)
To switch the tool on, slide the on/off switch (1) forward
u
(position I).
To switch the tool off, slide the on/off switch (1) to the rear
u
(position O).
LED work light
The LED work light (5) is activated automatically when the tool
is switched on.
Low-battery Indicator
If the LED worklight (5) begins to rapidly and continuously
flash when the switch on the tool is depressed, the battery-
pack power has run out, and the battery pack should be
recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs
deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The tool will
not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To
signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time and
needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
Note: The LED may also flash due to an overload or high
temperature (see Battery Protection).
Hints for optimum use
Always hold the tool securely. For precision work, hold the
u
tool near the front.
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible, especially when
u
using cutting blades.
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
u
Always use the appropriate type of attachment for the
u
workpiece material and type of cut.
Regularly check the condition of accessories. Replace
u
when necessary.
Mark the desired starting point.
u
Switch the tool on and slowly feed attachments into the
u
workpiece at the desired starting point.
Clamp a piece of plywood or soft wood to the back of the
u
workpiece and saw through the combination in order to
obtain a clear cut.
Do not force the cutting blade into the workpiece. Note
u
that cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than
sawing thicker wooden workpieces.
When cutting metal spread a thin film of oil along the cut-
u
ting line before cutting.
(Original instructions)
When sanding new layers of paint before applying another
u
layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
u
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine
grit for a smooth finish.
Consult your retailer for more information on available
u
accessories.
