7 Initial Operation, Setting

IRemove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make
sure that the machine is switched off.
7.1

Battery pack

Charge the battery pack before use (12).
If performance diminishes, recharge the
battery pack.
"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a
capacity and signal indicator: (26)
- Press the (27) button, the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
Removal:
Press the battery pack release (13) button and pull
the battery pack (12) upwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (12) until it engages.
7.2

Setting depth of cut

Loosen the locking screw (19). Read the depth of
cut that has been set from the scale (18). Tighten the
locking screw again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 3.
7.3

Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts

Loosen the locking screw (2). Tilt the motor part
against the guide plate (7). Read the angle which
has been set from the scale (1). Tighten the locking
screw again.
7.4

Correcting the saw blade angle

If, at 0°, the saw blade is not at right angles to the
guide plate: release lock nut (17) and correct saw
blade angle with adjusting screw (16). Then
retighten the lock nut.
7.5 Extraction connection piece / dust
ejection
Sawdust extraction:
connect a suitable dust extraction unit with suction
hose to the connection piece to extract the
sawdust. (6)
Sawdust ejection:
Turn the nozzle (6) to the desired position (away
from body if possible).

8 Use

8.1

Automatic protection mode

If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated auto-
matic protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is
released (5).
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging
totally and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED is flashing (26), the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the (27) button
and check the LEDs (26) to see the charge
level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must
be recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine
will activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
