Battery Charge Indicator on the Rechargeable
Battery
Note: Not all battery types have a battery charge indicator.
The LEDs on the battery charge indicator on the re-
chargeable battery indicate the state of charge of the bat-
tery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the char-
ging status when the power tool is at a standstill.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator on the re-
chargeable battery to show the state of charge. This is also
possible when the rechargeable battery is removed.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
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.
Inserting/changing the saw blade
When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protect-
u
ive gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when
used for prolonged periods of time.
Selecting the saw blade
You will find an overview of recommended saw blades at the
end of these operating instructions. Only use saw blades
with single lug shank (T shank). The saw blade should not be
longer than required for the intended cut.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
Inserting the saw blade (see figure A)
Clean the shaft on the saw blade before inserting it.
u
A dirty shaft cannot be securely fixed in place.
Push the saw blade (12), with the teeth in the cutting direc-
tion, into the saw blade receptacle (17) until it clicks into
place. The SDS lever (18) automatically springs back and
1 609 92A 8M8 | (18.08.2023)
the saw blade is locked in place. Do not push the lever (18)
back by hand as you could damage the power tool.
Make sure when inserting the saw blade that the back of the
saw blade is in the groove on the guide roller (19).
Check that the saw blade is seated securely. A loose
u
saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Ejecting the saw blade (see figure B)
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the power tool in
u
such a manner that no persons or animals can be in-
jured by the ejected saw blade.
Turn the SDS lever (18) as far as it will go in the direction of
the safety guard (14). The saw blade is released and ejec-
ted.
State of charge
Glide shoe
≈ 75–100 %
When machining sensitive surfaces, you can place the glide
≈ 50–75 %
shoe (10) on the base plate (11) in order to prevent the sur-
≈ 25–50 %
face from being scratched.
≈ 5–25 %
To position the glide shoe (10), hook it to the front of the
≈ 0–5 %
base plate (11), push it up at the back and allow it to click
into place.
Anti-splinter guard (see figure C)
The anti-splinter guard (20) can prevent splintering of the
surface while sawing wood. The anti-splinter guard can only
be used with certain saw blade types and only at a cutting
angle of 0°. When sawing with the anti-splinter guard, the
base plate (11) must not be moved to the rear for sawing
close to edges.
Push the anti-splinter guard (20) into the base plate (11)
from below (as shown in the figure with the groove facing up-
wards).
Cut Control Cut Control (see figures D–E)
Cut Control Cut Control enables the power tool to be guided
precisely along a cutting line marked on the workpiece.
The viewing window (13) with the cut marks can either be
attached to the base plate (11) using the base (15) or dir-
ectly attached onto the glide shoe (10) without the
base (15).
Securing Cut Control to the base plate (see figure D):
– Firmly insert the viewing window for Cut Control (13)
into the brackets on the base (15). Then push the base
together gently and allow it to click into place in the guide
(21) on the base plate (11).
– To remove the base (15), push it together gently and re-
move it from the guide (21).
Securing Cut Control to the glide shoe (see figure E):
– Firmly insert the viewing window for Cut Control (13)
into the brackets on the glide shoe (10).
Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
