ENGLISH (Original instructions)
Charging the battery (Fig. D)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenev-
er it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient tempera-
tures below 10
°
C or above 40
°
C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24
°
C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10
°
C or above 40
°
C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down.
u
To charge the battery (6), insert it into the charger (10).
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
u
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
The green charging indicator will flash.
The charge is complete when the green charging indicator
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely. The green charging indicator will
flash as the charger occasionally tops up the battery charge.
u
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
green charging indicator glowing indefinitely. The charger will
keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Switching on and off
u
To switch the tool on, press the lock-off button (2) then
squeeze the on/off switch (1).
u
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch (1).
Sawing (fig. E)
u
Always hold the tool with both hands (fig. E).
u
Let the blade (5) run freely for a few seconds before start-
ing the cut.
u
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
u
If possible, work with the shoe (3) pressed against the work-
piece. This will improve tool control and reduce tool vibration,
as well as prevent the blade from being damaged.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood (fig. F)
u
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
u
Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe (3)
pressed against the workpiece.
Flush cutting (fig. G)
The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing
and pivoting shoe (3) permit close cutting to floors, corners
and other difficult areas.
To maximize flush cutting capabilities:
u
Insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of
the blade facing up.
u
Adjust the angle of the handle on the tool so you are as
close to the work surface as possible.
Sawing metal (fig. H)
u
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a fine-
tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.
u
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
u
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Pocket cutting in wood (fig. I)
u
Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
u
Fit a saw blade suitable for pocket cutting.
u
Rest the shoe (3) on the workpiece in such a position that
the blade forms an appropriate angle for the pocket cut.
u
Switch on the tool and slowly feed the blade into the
workpiece. Make sure that the shoe (3) remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
Cutting branches
Branches up to 25 mm in diameter can be cut with this tool.
Warning! Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or
on any other unstable surface. Be aware of where the branch
will fall.
u
Cut downward and away from your body.
u
Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
Vertical cutting
The tool allows close cutting to corners and other difficult
areas.
u
Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder
with the teeth of the blade facing upward.
u
Hold the tool with the shoe (3) facing downward so that
you are as close to the work surface as possible.
u
Cut forward and away from your body.
