Operation

Operating Modes

Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc..) as 
well as during transport, remove the battery from the power tool. There is 
danger of injury when unintentionally activating the tool.

Orbital Action Settings
The four orbital action settings allow for optimal adaptation of cutting speed, 
cutting capacity and cutting pattern to the material being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the adjusting lever (11), even during 
operation.

The optimal orbital action setting for the respective application can be 
determined through practical testing. The following recommendations apply:

Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a finer, cleaner 
cutting edge.

For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch the orbital action off.

For hard materials such as steel, work with low orbital action.

For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the grain, work with
maximum orbital action.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

Use only the original lithium ion batteries that were supplied with the tool

Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.

Switching ON and OFF

To 

start

 the machine, press the safety switch (1), then press and hold the 

ON/OFF switch (2).

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the ON/OFF switch (2).

Note

: For safety reasons the ON/OFF switch (2) cannot be locked; it must 

remain pressed manually during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on while using it.

Controlling the Stroke Rate
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the ON/OFF switch (2) enables stepless 
stroke-rate control of the switched-on machine.
Light pressure on the ON/OFF switch (2) results in a low stroke rate. Increasing 
the pressure will likewise increase the stroke rate.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working 
conditions, and can be determined by practical trial.
