Information on battery packs

– Where possible, store the battery pack in a cool,

dry place at a temperature between 5 °C and 25

°C.

– Battery packs are most efficient at temperatures

between 20 °C and 30 °C.

– Protect the battery pack from moisture, water

and heat.

– Significantly shorter operating times after each

charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and

should be replaced with a new one.

– The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible with the

charger! Integrated electronics prevent over-

loading and overheating during the charging pro-

cess.

– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger dis-

connected from the mains power supply for lon-

ger than one month. There is a risk of total

discharge and the maximum power of the battery

pack may decrease.

– Store the battery pack in its packaging to reduce

the risk of short circuits..

– If LiIon battery packs are to be stored for long pe-

riods without use, they should be charged to 40 %

capacity (approx. 15 mins. charging period).

Sawing with the angle table

The angle table WT-PS 400 is used for cutting pipes

or interior and exterior angles up to 45°. 

Dust extraction is not possible when sawing

with the angle table!

quired angle.

You can select the angles -45°, 0° and +45° on the



For 90° cuts, we recommend setting the angle

table to a small negative angle to guarantee

smooth operation.

cle cutter can be installed from both sides on the

adaptation table.

WARNING

Sawing cutting depths

Risk of injury



Select the saw blade length and cutting depth so

that the saw blade remains plunged in the work-

piece.
