Use
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge.
After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
To charge the battery (6), remove it from the tool.
x
Slide the charger receptacle (9) onto the battery as shown.
x
Plug in the charger (8). Switch on at the mains.
x
The battery will become warm while charging. After approx.
3 hours of charging, the battery will be sufficiently charged for
use in regular applications. After approx. 6 hours of charging,
the battery will be fully charged.
Remove the charger receptacle from the battery.
x
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, move the lock-off button (2) into the
x
unlock position and squeeze the on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.

Sawing (fig. C)
Always hold the tool with both hands.
x
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
x
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
x
the cut.
If possible, work with the shoe pressed against the
x
workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce tool
vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being damaged.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
x
metal objects.
Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe
x
pressed against the workpiece.
Pocket cutting in wood
Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
x
Fit a saw blade suitable for pocket cutting.
x
Rest the shoe on the workpiece in such a position that the
x
blade forms an appropriate angle for the pocket cut.
Switch on the tool and slowly feed the blade into the
x
workpiece. Make sure that the shoe remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
x
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
x
Use a fine-tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a
coarser saw blade for nonferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
x
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
x
Cutting branches
Branches up to 25 mm in diameter can be cut with this tool.
Warning! Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or
on any other unstable surface. Be aware of where the branch
will fall.
Cut downward and away from your body.
x
Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
x
Vertical cutting
The tool allows close cutting to corners and other difficult areas.
Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder
x
with the teeth of the blade facing upward.
Hold the tool with the shoe facing downward so that you
x
are as close to the work surface as possible.
Cut forward and away from your body.
