Start-up

  • Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.

To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (2), then press and hold the on/off switch (1).

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (1).

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (1) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

The lamp (7) lights up when the on/off switch (1) is lightly or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor lighting conditions.

An integrated run-out brake shortens the time the saw blade keeps running for after the power tool has been switched off.

The user interface (22) is used to preselect the speed, to activate the Stop Control safety function and to indicate the status of the power tool.

If the Stop Control function is activated, the power tool will automatically stop as soon as the cut is finished (i.e. as soon as the saw blade leaves the workpiece), even if the on/off switch (1) is still being pressed. The Stop Control function is switched off by default. To switch on the function, press the button (44) on the user interface (22).

Please note: The function may not trigger when making cuts at a low speed, at a low feed rate or with thin materials.

If there is a sudden kickback in the power tool, e.g. jamming during cutting, the power supply to the motor will be interrupted electronically. The worklight (7) then flashes white and the status indicator (45) flashes red.

To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (1) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.

If the power tool is operated in the energy-saving ECO mode, the battery life may be up to 10 % longer.

If the ECO mode is active, the symbol E is shown on the speed setting/mode indicator (47). In addition, the ECO mode indicator (50) lights up.

Three speed settings and ECO mode are preset.

The following table shows the speed settings and the corresponding speeds.
