Battery charging indicator

A green LED light indicates that the charger is connected to a power source. After the battery is connected, the red LED is on to indicate charging. Blinking green battery LEDs also indicate that the battery is charging and show the current battery level.
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED goes off and the green LED is on.
After charging, disconnect the charger and remove the battery.
NOTE! The battery may get slightly hot when charging. This is not a malfunction.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any moment, without detriment to its life. Interrupting the charging process does not entail a risk of damaging the battery cells.
PREPARATION FOR WORK:
Before cutting wood, particle boards, building materials, etc., check them for foreign objects, such as nails, screws etc., and then use a suitable blade.
Blade installation (see Fig. D)
The sabre saw can be used with any commercially available saw blades with a ½” universal shank.
Blades offered by manufacturers are most often available as sets and, depending on the purpose, may differ in the size and type of cutting teeth. The manufacturer usually provides information regarding the purpose of individual blades on the packaging of a set of blades or in the attached leaflet. The blades themselves can also be colour-coded, with different colours for different materials to be cut.
The saw blade should not be longer than required by the planned cut. Use narrow blades to cut curves with small radii.

CAUTION! Before installing the blade and performing any maintenance work, disconnect the battery from the device.
Wear protective gloves when installing the blade. There is a risk of injury when touching the blade.

• Rotate the mount collar (4) approx. 45° in the direction of the arrow and keep it in this position.
• Insert the selected saw blade (1) into the mount (3). Release the mount collar (4), which will automatically lock the saw blade.

CAUTION Check whether the blade is well seated. A loose blade can fall out and hurt the user.

• Depending on the application, it is possible to mount a blade rotated by 180° (teeth up) (see Fig.E).

Removal of the saw blade

CAUTION! Disconnect the tool from its power source.

• To remove the blade, pull it out while turning the mount collar (4) in the direction of the arrow. Handle hot saw blades with care.

Broken saw blade can be removed in the manners own below:

• Aimthetooldown, turn the collar(4) and shake the tool up and down.
  The shank of the broken blade should fall out of the mount.

Working-out

The working foot (2) can be adapted to the saw blade used and the type of processing, by moving it in a seamless manner to the appropriate length (see Fig. A).
CAUTION! Disconnect the tool from its power source.

• Loosen the foot mounting bolts (12) using the provided hex key (11) (the key is in the storage compartment on the right side of the main mount) and set the foot (2) in the desired position.
• Re-tighten the screws (12) and check that the foot (2) is properly fastened.

OPERATION

Turning on/off
To turn on the power tool, first press the safety button (6) on the left or right side of the handle (8) and then press the switch (7).
To switch off the power tool, release the switch (7).

Adjusting the movement speed
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the switch (7) allows infinite stroke speed adjustment.
Slight pressure on the switch (7) results in a low movement speed. An increase in pressure increases the movement speed.
The necessary number of strokes depends on the material and working conditions, and can be verified in a practical test.
A decrease in this number is recommended when placing the saw blade on the workpiece, as well as when cutting plastic and aluminium.
TIPS FOR WORKING:
CAUTION! When sawing light construction materials, follow the legal provisions and recommendations of the material manufacturer.
Make sure that the saw blade is always longer than the cross- section of the workpiece. There is a risk of recoil (see Fig. H).
If the saw blade gets blocked in the workpiece, switch off the power tool immediately.
Slightly open the cut with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
Cutting see Fig.
Use a drill to make a 20 mm hole in the cut area. Insert the saw blade into the opening and start cutting.
Plunge cutting (see Fig. G)

NOTE : The plunge cutting process can be used only on soft materials, such as wood, plasterboards or similar!
Use only short blades for plunge cutting.
Place the power tool with the front of the foot (2) on the workpiece and switch it on. For power tools with stroke control, select the maximum number of movements.
Press the power tool firmly against the workpiece and slowly introduce the blade into the workpiece. The moment the foot (2) contacts the workpiece with its entire surface, continue to cut along the desired line.

Basic principles of proper saw use

• Cut the material applying moderate pressure, without excessive load on the saw;
• Excessive pressure on the saw can cause the reciprocating motion to be slowed down or interrupted, which slows down or stops the cutting process;
• During cutting the saw foot should touch the workpiece along its entire surface;
• Start cutting a shape in hard materials by pre-drilling of a hole that allows the blade to be inserted. Otherwise, there is the risk of recoil and the blade breaking;
• When cutting lines that form a sharp angle or connected with a small  radius arc, preferably use narrow blades;
• Due to the material heating up, it is necessary to apply cooling and lubricating agents along the cutting line when cutting metals.

STORAGE ANDMAINTENANCE:

The tool must be stored in a place that is not accessible to children and must be kept clean and protected from moisture and dust. The storage conditions should prevent potential mechanical damage and impact of
the weather conditions. Never store batteries in the sun, near radiators or behind windows.
CAUTION: Before performing any deaning and maintenance work, disconnect the battery from the device and remove the charger plug from the mains socket.
Regularly check the condition of the screws securing the saw housing.
Tighten if necessary.
After work, itis recommended to blow over the ventilation holes and the blade mount with compressed air. This will prevent damage to bearings, remove dust blocking the supply of engine cooling air.
Clean the housing with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of soap, thenwipedry.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents; they can damage parts of thedevice made of plastic.
Make sure that no water penetrates inside the device.
The charger may be cleaned exclusively with use of a dry cloth.
TRANSPORT:
Transport and store the sabre saw in a package that protects it against moisture, dust and small objects, in particular secure ventilation openings.
If the battery is removed for transport or storage, make sure the contacts will not short circuit. Remove metal items such as screws, nails, clasps, loose bits, wires, or metal filings from the case or transport container or otherwise prevent them from touching the battery.
