Battery charge indicator
The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
to
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

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.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Operation
Starting Operation
Switching On and Off
To
switch on
the power tool, slide the on/off switch
(3)
for-
wards so that
I
appears on the switch.
To
switch off
the power tool, slide the on/off switch
(3)
backwards so that
0
appears on the switch.
Restart protection
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch
(3)
to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Soft start
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and increases the service life of the mo-
tor.
Working Advice
u
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
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.
u
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
u
Wear protective gloves during work. Make sure that
cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body.
Sharp
burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury.
When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending
sheet parts away from your body.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
80–90°
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80° to 90° to the surface
of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting
direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool will
significantly reduce the service life of application tools and
can damage the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
erally and work with low feed rate only.
Maximum steel sheet cutting capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
max
depends on
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The power tool allows for cutting of metal sheet to the follow-
ing thicknesses:
