Temperature Control/Overload Protection In-
dicator
The red LED indicator 9 will help you in protect-
ing the battery against overheating and the mo-
tor against overloading.
When the LED indicator 9 continuously lights
up red, the temperature of the battery is too
high and the machine switches off automatical-
ly.
– Switch the power tool off.
– Allow the battery to cool down before contin-
uing to work.
When the LED indicator9 flashes red, the power
tool is blocked and switches off automatically.
– Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
As soon as the blockage is corrected, the
power tool will continue to work at the set
stroke rate.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protec-
tion (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the ma-
chine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

Working Advice

Tips
When sawing light building materials, ob-
serve the statutory provisions and the rec-
ommendations of the material suppliers.
Check wood, press boards, building materials,
etc. for foreign objects such as nails, screws or
similar, and remove them, if required.
– Switch the machine on and guide it toward
the workpiece. Position the footplate 2 onto
the surface of the work and saw through the
material applying uniform contact pressure
and feed. After completing the working pro-
cedure, switch the machine off.
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine
off immediately. Widen the gap somewhat with
a suitable tool and pull out the machine.

Plunge Cutting (see figure E)
The plunge cutting procedure is only suita-
ble for treating soft materials such as wood,
plaster board or similar! Do not work metal
materials with the plunge cutting proce-
dure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
– Place the machine with the edge of the foot-
plate 2 onto the workpiece and switch on.
For power tools with stroke speed control,
set the maximum stroke speed. Press the
power tool firmly against the workpiece and
allow the saw blade to slowly plunge into the
workpiece.
– As soon as the footplate 2 fully lays on the
surface of the workpiece, continue sawing
alongside the desired cutting line.
For certain work, the saw blade 1 can also be in-
serted turned through by 180° and the sabre
saw can be guided accordingly in a reversed
manner.
Coolant/Lubricant
When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be
applied alongside cutting line because of the
material heating up.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the bat-
tery using a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
