When the LED indicator 17 continuously lights up red, the
temperature of the battery is too high and the machine
switches off automatically.
– Switch the power tool off.
– Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.
The LED indicator 17 flashes red, the power tool is blocked
and switches off automatically.
Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
The power tool will continue to work as soon as the blockage
is rectified.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Switching on the LED Work Area Illumination
The power light 27 lights up when the On/Off switch 4 is
slightly or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be
illuminated when lighting conditions are insufficient.

Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material
to be worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are
formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)
The parallel guide 33 enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.
Mount the parallel guide 33 to the machine using the fasten-
ing bolt 8.
Adjust the parallel guide 33 to the requested cutting width.
Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide;
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the
auxiliary guide.
Working with Parallel Guide and Vacuum Hose
First mount the extraction adapter 30 with vacuum hose 31
and then the parallel guide 33.
Note: Use only the intended screws to fix the parallel guide 33
and the extraction adapter 30!

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft,
clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely
and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area
around the retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and
chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-
rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must
be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts.
Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.
