Working Advice

Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.
The cutting performance of the machine depends on the materials to be cut and
on the charging condition of the battery.
Depending on the charge condition of the battery, excessive feed considerably
reduces the performance capability.
Always keep the blade free and clean of material remainders.
The guide edge 5 may not become wedged during cutting and must be aligned
parallel to the cutting surface.
Improper use will make the blade dull.
Thin materials, such as fabrics, can be pulled into the machine during cutting and
become wedged. Therefore, do not apply too much pressure with such materials
in order to achieve good cutting results. During cutting, apply sufficient tension
while holding fabrics and cut slowly.
Optimum cutting results are best determined through practical testing.
Overload Protection
When the load on the machine is too high, the battery charge-control indicator 7
flashes red and the power tool switches off automatically.
– To start the operation of the machine again, relieve the load on the power tool
first and then switch on again (press ON/OFF switch 1).
The battery charge-control indicator lights up green again.
"Cut Control" Cutting-line Mark
The red line on the blade guard ("Cut Control" cutting-line mark 6) indicates the
cutting line of the blade 4.
