charge a defective battery.
6. Operation
6.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 16/Item 3)
Switching on:
Press the On/Off switch (3).
Switching off :
Release the On/Off switch (3).
6.2 Adjusting the speed (Fig. 16/Item 2)
You can pre-select the required speed with the
speed selector (2). Turn the speed selector (2)
in PLUS direction to increase the speed, and
turn the speed selector (2) in MINUS direction to
reduce the speed. The appropriate stroke speed
depends on the material you want to cut and on
the working conditions.
The general rules for cutting speeds in metal also
apply.
While you can generally use a higher speed with
fi ne saw blades, lower speeds are required for
coarse saw blades.
6.3 Setting the pendulum action
(Fig. 14/Item 8)
The strength of the pendulum action of the saw
blade (12) can be adjusted using the selector
switch for pendulum action (8).
You can adjust the cutting speed, cutting perfor-
mance and appearance of the cut to the workpie-
ce you want to saw.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to
one of the following positions:
Position A = no pendulum action
Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
Please note: For fi ne and clean cuts, thin materi-
als (e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials.
Position B = small pendulum action
Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium
Please note: For hard materials.
Position C = medium pendulum action
Material: Wood
Position D = large pendulum action
Material: Wood
Please note: For soft materials and sawing along
the grain

The best combination of speed and pendulum
action depends on the material you want to saw.
We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste
piece in order to check the ideal settings.
6.4 Making cuts
Important!
For exact, straight and long cuts, we recommend
using a saw blade with a thickness of at least
1.5 mm.
Caution!
•
Make sure that the On/Off switch (3) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
battery pack to the equipment.
•
Do not switch on the cordless jigsaw until you
have fitted a saw blade.
•
Use only saw blades that are in perfect con-
dition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw
blades immediately.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
want to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it
reaches full speed. Then slowly move the saw
blade along the cutting line. Exert only gentle
pressure on the saw blade as you do so.
•
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant
along the line you want to cut.
6.5 Sawing out sections (Fig. 18)
Drill a 10 mm hole in the section you want to saw
out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to
saw out the required section.
6.6 Making parallel cuts (Fig. 19)
•
Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required
(see section 5.3).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Fig. 19.
6.7 Miter cuts (Fig. 12)
•
Set the angle on the soleplate (see section
5.4).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Fig. 19.
6.7 LED lamp (Fig. 1/Item 4)
The LED lamp (4) can be used in poor lighting
conditions to additionally illuminate the cutting
position. The LED light (4) will come on automati-
cally as soon as you press the On/Off switch (3).
