Battery Charging

Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging 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.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A
long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
Observe the notes for disposal.

Removing the Battery
The battery 9 is equipped with two locking lev-
els that should prevent the battery from falling
out when pushing the battery unlocking button
8 unintentionally. As long as the battery is in-
serted in the power tool, it is held in position by
means of a spring.
To remove the battery 9, press the battery un-
locking button 8 and pull the battery out of the
power tool toward the rear. Do not exert any
force.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
Before any work on the power tool, remove
the battery.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
When changing the saw blade, take care
that the saw blade holder is free of material
residue, e. g. wood or metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material be-
ing worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can
be found at the beginning of these operating in-
structions. Use only saw blades with single-nose
shank. The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Inserting the Saw Blade (see figure A)
Press the saw blade 1 firmly into the saw blade
holder 3 until it can clearly be heard to engage.
This causes the locking sleeve 4 to turn by ap-
prox. 90° and locks the saw blade.
If the saw blade 1 is not locked, turn the locking
sleeve 4 approx. 90° in the direction of the ar-
row until it locks in the open position and a
"click" can be heard. Then press the saw blade
1 into the saw blade holder 3 again.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to inju-
ries.
