DANGER!

When using the equipment, a number of safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety information with due care.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
so that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, hand
over these operating instructions and the safety
information as well. We cannot accept any liability
for damage or accidents which arise due to
failure to follow these instructions and the safety
information.

1. Safety information

DANGER!
Read all the safety information and
instructions. Failure to adhere to the safety

information and instructions set out below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury. Keep all the safety information and

instructions in a safe place for future use.

General safety information for power tools

The term „power tool“ used in the safety
regulations refers to power tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated power tools (without a power
cable).

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

f) If operating a power tools in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off -position before
connecting to power source and/or
BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on

the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off . Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that

is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or

modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or
risk of injury.

f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to

fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fi re or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the BATTERY pack or tool
outside the temperature range specifi ed
in the instructions. Charging improperly or

at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the BATTERY and increase the
risk of fi re.

6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

b) Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Additional safety instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.

Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and

poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.

2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks without
delay, even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suff ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.

10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut­off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fi re risk.

Information on chargers and the charging
process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a diff erent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualifi ed
electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children‘s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not
exceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times apply only to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you

suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months
previously. There is a high probability

EN

that the battery pack has already suff ered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.

10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been overheated –
replace them immediately if possible.

7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C
to 40°C). Store the lithium-ion rechargeable
battery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery packs which were stored
below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes
must be disposed of.

9. When handling batteries beware of
electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges

cause damage of the electronic protection
system and the battery cells. Avoid
electrostatic charging and never touch the
battery poles.

Battery Caution + Disposal

To remove the saw blade, follow the

•

instructions above in reverse order.

5.3 Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 4/Item 11)

The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw

•

parallel cuts.
Undo the two locking screws (13) on the

•

soleplate (7).
Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the

•

guides on the soleplate (7). You can fit the
parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of
the equipment.
The guide strip must always face downwards.

•

Set the required distance using the
measurement scale on the parallel stop (11)
and tighten the locking screws (13) again.

Important!

The read-off point for the measurement scale is
at the points on the left or right (see the arrows
shown in Fig. 4), depending on which side
the parallel stop is inserted from, left or right.
The mark in the center of the soleplate is only
provided for cutting along a line and not for
reading the measurement scale.

5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 5)

Undo the locking lever (16) on the soleplate.

•

Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The

•

soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum
47° to the left and right.
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the

•

rear again it will only function in the locking
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which
are marked on the graduated scale for the
soleplate (9). Move the soleplate into the
required position and refasten the locking
lever (16).
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to

•

another angle. To do so, slide the soleplate (7)
forwards, set the desired angle and refasten
the locking lever (16).

Important! For miter cuts you must remove the
locking screws for the parallel stop (13) and the
splinter guard (17).

5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Fig.

6/Item 5)

Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner

•

using the adapter for dust extraction (5). This
will ensure optimum dust extraction from
the workpiece. The benefits are that you will
protect both the equipment and your own
health. Your work area will also be cleaner
and safer.
Dust created when working may be

•

dangerous. Refer to the section entitled
“Safety information”.
Fit the adapter (5) as shown in Fig. 6. The

•

adapter (5) must audibly engage to ensure
that it is secure in the soleplate (7). The
adapter for chip extraction (5) cannot be used
for miter cuts.
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner

•

onto the adapter opening (5). Check that the
connections are air-tight.

5.6 Line guide (Fig. 7-9/Item 6)

Using the line guide (6) you can carry out exact
cuts following cutting lines marked on the
workpiece. Fit the line guide by mounting the line
guide (6) on the top of the soleplate (7) and letting
it lock in place at the bottom, as shown in Fig. 7.
Use the mark in the middle, see arrow, for the 0°
angle setting (Fig. 8) and the mark on the left or
right, see arrow, for the 45° angle setting (Fig. 9).
See point 5.4 for information about the angle
setting.

Important! Carry out a trial cuts in a piece of
waste wood.

5.7 Splinter guard (Fig. 10/Item 17)

The splinter guard ensures that the material
you want to cut does not splinter or crack
during sawing. Insert it into the soleplate from
underneath as shown in Fig. 10.

Important! The splinter guard can be used only
for 0° cuts and must be removed for miter cuts up
to 47°!

6. Operation

6.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 12/Item 3)
Switching on:

Press the locking button (2) and the On/Off switch
(3).

Infi nitely variable stroke speed control is possible
with the On/Off switch (3). The further you push
the switch, the higher the stroke speed.

Switching off :

Release the locking button (2) and the On/Off
switch (3).

6.2 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 13/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

•

performance and appearance of the cut to the
workpiece 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 clean cuts, thin materials

(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.

6.3 Making cuts
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 jigsaw until you have

•

fitted a saw blade.
Use only saw blades that are in perfect

•

condition. 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.

6.4 Sawing out sections (Fig. 14)

Drill a 0.4 in. hole in the section you want to saw
out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to
saw out the required section.

6.5 Making parallel cuts (Figure 15)

Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required

•

(see section 5.3).
Observe the instructions in section 6.3.

•

Cut as shown in Fig. 16.
