Quick guide from the manual

This cordless saw is intended for domestic use, specifically for cutting branches, slats, hardwood, softwood, and plastic. It is designed for straight cuts.

Product Description

The saw features a saw blade (1), base plate (2), riving knife (3), and a lock-off function for the on/off switch (5). The battery (7) is inserted into the battery holder until it clicks into place.

Assembly

Inserting/changing the saw blade:

• Wear protective gloves when fitting or changing the saw blade.
• Use the locking lever (10) to open the cover (9) of the saw blade receptacle.
• Insert the saw blade, ensuring the drive shaft and the end of the saw blade fit into the recess on the saw blade receptacle (13).
• Close the cover and lock it with the locking lever until it clicks into place.
• The chain of the saw blade is tensioned automatically.

Operation

Switching on/off:

• To switch on, press the lock-off button (4) to the left or right, then press and hold the on/off switch (5).
• To switch off, release the on/off switch (5).

Speed control: The sawing speed is continuously variable depending on how hard you press the on/off switch (5).

Working Advice

• Switch off the tool immediately if the saw blade becomes blocked.
• Always use a sturdy support when working on small or thin workpieces.
• Always cut from front to back or from top to bottom.
• The riving knife (3) prevents sawing against the running direction of the chain saw.
• Put the cover (12) on the saw blade (1) after finishing work to protect it.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Remove the battery before any work on the tool (maintenance, tool change, etc.) and for transport/storage.
• Keep the tool and ventilation slots clean.
• Clean the saw blade and saw blade receptacle only dry. Use a fine brush to remove deeply ingrained dirt.
• The saw blade is maintenance-free; the chain does not need to be oiled.
