General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
directions and instructions.
Omissions in the compliance with
safety directions and instructions
can cause electrical shock, re
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keepworkareacleanandwell
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
• Donotoperatepowertoolsin
explosive atmospheres, such as
inthepresenceofammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keepchildrenandbystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Powertoolplugsmustmatch
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoidbodycontactwithearthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-

8
GB IE
frigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
• Donotexposepowertoolsto
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Donotabusethecord.Never
use the cord for carrying, pull-
ing or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Whenoperatingapowertool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• Ifoperatingapowertoolina
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stayalert,watchwhatyouare
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
youaretiredorundertheinu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Usepersonalprotectiveequip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Preventunintentionalstarting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
sourceand/orbatterypack,
pickinguporcarryingthetool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Removeanyadjustingkeyor
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
terypackfromthepowertool
beforemakinganyadjust

9
GB IE
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
•Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•Maintainpowertools.Checkfor
misalignment or binding of mov-
ingparts,breakageofpartsand
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
withtheseinstructions,tak-
ingintoaccounttheworking
conditionsandtheworktobe
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERYDEVICES
• Chargethebatteriesonlyin
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a
charger that is suitable for a specic type
of battery is used with other batteries.
• Inthepowertools,useonlythe
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of re.
• Keeptheunusedbatteryaway
frompaperclips,coins,keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts. A short
circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or re.
• Ifusedincorrectly,liquidmay
leakfromthebattery.Avoid
contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse off with
water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek
medical assistance. Leaking battery u-
id may cause skin irritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
•Have your power tool serviced
byaqualiedrepairpersonus-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

saw blade can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
• Afteryouhavenishedwork,
turn the power tool off and do
not pull the saw blade out of the
cut until it has come to a stand-
still. In this way you will avoid any
kickback and can safely put down the
power tool.
• Useonlyundamagedsaw
blades in perfect condition. Bent
or blunt blades can break, adversely
affect the cut or cause kickback.
• Donotbrakethesawblade
after switching the device off
by applying side pressure. The
saw blade may be damaged, break or
cause a kickback.
• Tightenthematerialrmly.Donot
supporttheworkpiecebyhand
or foot. Do not touch any objects
or the ground with the saw run-
ning. There is a risk of kickback.

Practical tips
Wear gloves when handling the
saw blade. In this way, you avoid
injury from cuts.
 Caution:Riskofinjuryand
damage to property!
- Do not use any blunt or bent
blades or blades which are dam-
aged in any other way.
- Before sawing the work piece,
check for hidden foreign objects
such as nails, screws. These must
be removed.
- Always insert a suitable saw
blade.
- Secure the work piece with the
aid of clamping devices on the
workbench.
- Apply only as much pressure as
is required for sawing. If there is
excessive pressure, the sawing
blade may bend and break.
- Switch the device off immedi-
ately if the sawing blade jams.
Spread the saw cut out and pull
the blade out carefully.
- Always stand to the side of the
saw when working.
- Always make sure that the work-
place is well ventilated.
- Avoid over-stressing the device
while working.
Conventional sawing:
1. Turn the device on. Before switching
the device on, ensure it is not in contact
with the work piece.
2. Place the base plate on the work piece.
3. Cut with a uniform forward motion. You
can saw horizontally (see ), diago-
nally or vertically (see ).
4. After completion of the work, rst re-
move the blade from the saw cut and
then switch the device off.
Plunge sawing:
Plunge cuts are technically more demand-
ing and harbour a greater risk. Only per-
form this work if you are familiar with this
technique.
Plunge cuts may only be car-
ried out in soft materials such
as wood or plasterboard
and with short blades (max.
length 150 mm). There is a
riskofkickbackandperson-
al injury.
1. Place the front edge of the base plate (2)
on the work piece so that the saw blade
(1) does not touch the work piece.
2. Turn the device on and let the saw blade
(1) slowly plunge into the work piece.
3. When the work piece depth has been
cut through, continue sawing as usual.
Flush separation:
With elastic bi-metal saw blades (see
spare parts/accessories) you can separate
water pipes, for example, ush to the wall.
 Makesurethatthebladeis
always longer than the pipe
diameter.Thereisariskof
kickbackandpersonalinjury.

Cleaning/Maintenance
Remove the battery from the
device before carrying out
anyworkortransportingit.
If the device is switched on
accidentally, there is a dan-
ger of injury.
Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
Always wear protective gloves
when handling the saw blade in
order to avoid cutting yourself.
The following cleaning and servicing
should be done regularly. This will ensure a
long and reliable service life.
Cleaning
Do not spray the appliance
with water and do not im-
merse it in water. Electric
shockhazard!
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush.
Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
You may otherwise irreparably damage
the appliance.
• Clean the saw blade holder with a
brush or by blowing out with com-
pressed air. To do this, remove the saw
blade from the device.
General maintenance
• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re-
place as necessary.
• Replace a blunt or bent blade or one
which has been damaged in some
other way.
Storage
• Store the device in a dry place well out
of reach of children.
• Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time (e.g. hi-
bernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer stor-
age period (two LED lights of the char-
ge status indicator ( 11a) light up).
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3months.
• In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appliance
to extreme heat or cold in storage.
• Store the equipment between 10° C
and 25° C. During storage, avoid ex-
treme cold or heat so the battery does
not lose power.
Waste Disposal/
Environmental Protection
Remove the battery from the device and
take the device, battery, accessories and
packaging for environmentally friendly
recycling.

Do not dispose of batteries in house-
hold waste, re (risk of explosion) or
water. Damaged batteries may dam-
age the environment and your health
if toxic fumes or liquids leak out.
• Return the unit to a recycling centre.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged condi-
tion. We recommend covering the pole
with adhesive tape to prevent a short
circuit. Do not open up the battery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with
the local regulations. Take batteries to
an old battery collection point where
they will be recycled in an environmen-
tally friendly manner. For information
about this, ask your local waste man-
agement company or our service centre.
• Throw the cut grass on the compost. Do
not throw it in the normal household
waste.
