6.3 Removing and inserting the battery pack
To remove the battery pack: Press the battery pack
release button (6) and remove the battery (7) pack.
To fit the battery pack: Slide in the battery pack (7)
until it engages .
6.4 Fitting and removing the saw blade
Before carrying out any work: Remove the
battery pack.
Do not touch the saw blade immediately
following operation of the tool, as it can be
extremely hot and can lead to skin burns.
Use jigsaw saw blades as a general rule.
1. Turn the clamping sleeve (1) in the direction of
the arrow and hold it.
2. Insert the saw blade (13) as far as the limit stop
or remove it.
3. Release the clamping sleeve (1) (the clamping
sleeve rotates back to its original position).
4. Check that the saw blade is securely seated.
Note when using jig saw blades: Both sabre saw
and jig saw blades can be used. Use sabre saw
blades as a general rule. When inserting jig saw
blades, ensure that the jig saw blade is inserted in a
vertical position as far as the limit stop. Slowly turn
the clamping sleeve (1) back to its original position
and ensure that the jig saw blade is fitting into the
recess.
Note: Should it occur that a saw blade has broken
off and it cannot be removed by hand from the saw
blade quick-clamping device, turn the clamping
sleeve (1) in the direction of the arrow and hold it.
Engage the tip of a saw blade in the broken section
and pull it out. A fine-toothed metal saw blade is
best suited for this task.
6.5 Setting the guide
The cutting depth can be limited by shifting the
guide (12) (e.g. when sawing in front of a wall).
Occasionally shift the guide (12) to achieve even
wear of the saw blade.
1. Press the button (11) and shift the guide (12) to
the desired position.
2. Release the button (11) and shift the guide until
it engages.
Check the guide (12) to ensure that it is
securely fitted.
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off, stroke rate,
switch-on lock (4):
Trigger (10) locked.
Trigger (10) unlocked.
Switching on, speed: Press the trigger (10). The
stroke rate can be changed by pressing in the
trigger.
Switching off: Release the trigger (10).
7.2 Working instructions
Sawing:
Use a saw blade geared to the material to be sawn.
Press the machine with the guide (12) against the
workpiece. Switch on the machine, and only then
guide the saw blade against the workpiece.
Do not make contact with any objects or with the
ground with the moving saw blade (risk of recoil or
of breaking the saw blade).
Adapt the stroke rate to the material to the sawn.
Avoid excessive pressure on the saw blade
(particularly in the case of long saw blades).
If the saw blade jams, turn the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the sawn gap slightly with a suitable
tool and take out the machine.
After completing the sawing cut, switch off the
machine and only take it out of the sawn gap to
place it down once the saw blade has come to a
standstill (danger of recoil).
Lock the machine with the switch-on lock (4) to
prevent it from switching on inadvertently.
Plunge cuts:
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials
such as wood or plastic. Only use short saw blades.
Hold the machine with both hands at the intended
handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on
the work.
See illustration, page 3: The machine is pressed
with the edge of the guide (12) against the work-
piece. The saw blade does not make contact with
the workpiece. Switch on machine. The corner of
the guide serves as a pivot point around which the
machine is slowly aligned, whereby the saw blade
cuts into the workpiece.
8. Servicing
On a regular basis, use compressed air to blow out
the machine through the motor ventilation slots.
Clean regularly: Press button (11) and remove
guide (12). Hold the device downwards in a vertical
position without the saw blade and, using your
hand, lightly tap on the machine. The accumulated
dust falls out. Do not oil or grease.
