• F ully charging the 4Ah battery may take up to
120 minutes.
After the battery is fully charged remove the charg-
er plug from the outlet and remove the battery from
the charger.
When the machine is not being used over a
longer period of time it is best to store the
battery in charged condition.
Replacing the saw blade (Fig. A, C)
When mounting the saw blade, wear
protective gloves. Danger of injury when
touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades that correspond with
the characteristic data given in the
operating instructions.
Mounting the saw blade
Make sure the blade holder is free of
material debris (such as splinters of wood
or metal).
1. Turn the clamping lever (9) as far to the left as
possible and hold it in this position.
2. Insert the saw blade in the chuck (8). Check
that the saw blade is securely fixed and that the
teeth are pointing downwards.
3. Let go of the clamping lever. Check whether the
saw blade is locked in place.
Make sure to use the right sawblade for the corre-
sponding material. Included with the machine is a
coarse sawblade for wood and a fine sawblade for
metal and plastics.
Removing the saw blade
1. Turn the clamping lever (9) as far to the left as
possible and hold it in this position.
2. Remove the saw blade from the chuck (8).
3. Let go of the clamping lever.

4. OPERATION
Switching the machine on/off (Fig. A)
The on/off switch (2) is used for activating the
machine and adjusting speed.
• T o start the machine, press and hold the lock-
off button (1) and press the on/off switch (2).
• T he further the on/off switch (2) is being
pushed, the faster the blade will move. The
required speed depends on the material and
can be determined by practical testing.
• T o stop the machine, release the on/off switch (2).
Plunge cutting (Fig. D)
Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials
such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster
boards, etc. However, this requires a certain prac-
tise and is only possible with short saw blades.
1. Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it
on.
2. Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate
rests on the workpiece surface as shown.
3. Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, mov-
ing the saw to a vertical position and continue
to saw along the cutting line.
4. Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece
when the work is complete.
Flush cutting (Fig. E)
Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw
protruding objects (e,g, water pipes, iron bars, etc,)
nearby the wall.
1. Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and
bend slightly so that the footplate rests against
the wall. Pay attention that the saw blade
always extends beyond the diameter of the
material being worked.
2. Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece
keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.
Optimum use
• A djust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the ma-
terial to be processed. For right radius curves it
is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant
or lubricant to deal with the fluttering produced
along the cut line when sawing metal.
• C heck wood, chip boards, building materials
etc, for hard materials (nails, screws etc.), before
sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• C lamp material well. Do not support the work-
piece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects
