Working Advice; Recommendations For Optimal Handling Of The Battery - Würth SBS 12-A Traduction Des Instructions De Service D'origine

Controlling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the On/Off switch 7
enables stepless stroke-rate control of the switched-on
machine.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined by a practical
trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw blade
engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and
aluminium.
Temperature Control/Overload
Protection Indicator
The red LED indicator 9 will help you in protecting the battery
against overheating and the motor against overloading.
When the LED indicator 9 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 9 flashes red, the power tool is blocked
and switches off automatically.
• Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
As soon as the blockage is corrected, the power tool will
continue to work at the set stroke rate.

Working Advice

 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.
Tips
 When sawing light building materials, observe
the statutory provisions and the recommenda-
tions of the material suppliers.
Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign
objects such as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, if
required.
Switch the machine on and guide it toward the workpiece.
Position the base plate 2 onto the surface of the work and saw
through the material applying uniform contact pressure and
feed. After completing the working procedure, switch the
machine off.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immedi-
ately. Widen the gap somewhat with a suitable tool and pull
out the machine.
Plunge Cutting (see figure E)
 The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable
for treating soft materials such as wood, plas-
ter board or similar! Do not work metal mate-
rials with the plunge cutting procedure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
Place the machine with the edge of the footplate 2 onto the
workpiece and switch on. For power tools with stroke speed
control, set the maximum stroke speed. Press the power tool
firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to
slowly plunge into the workpiece.
As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the surface of the
workpiece, continue sawing alongside the desired cutting
line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be inserted turned
through by 180° and the sabre saw can be guided accord-
ingly in a reversed manner.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied
alongside cutting line because of the material heating up.
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 bat-
tery 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.
