Kickback stop
If there is a sudden kickback in the power tool,
e.g. jamming during cutting, the power supply
to the motor will be interrupted electronically.
The worklight (7) then flashes white and the
status indicator (45) flashes red.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (1) to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
ECO mode
If the power tool is operated in the energy-saving ECO mode,
the battery life may be up to 10 % longer.
If the ECO mode is active, the symbol E is shown on the
speed setting/mode indicator (47). In addition, the ECO
mode indicator (50) lights up.

Practical advice
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
The width of cut varies depending on the saw blade used.
Protect saw blades against shock and impact.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting
direction in order to achieve a high cut quality. Applying too
much pressure will significantly reduce the service life of ap-
plication tools and can damage the power tool.
The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essen-
tially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the
saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades
that are suitable for the material being machined.

Sawing wood
Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type,
wood quality and whether cuts with or against the grain are
required.
Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-
shaped chips.
Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health.
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.
Using the Guide Rail (see figure J)
The narrow groove (34) integrated into the base plate (8)
can be used for the guide rails shown on the accessories
page.
Sawing with a Guide Rail (see figures K–L)
You can use the guide rail (36) to produce straight cuts.
