Safety Instructions and Accident Prevention WARNING! When using battery-driven tools basic safety precautions are to be taken, including the following, in order to reduce the risk of fire, batteries leaking and persons becoming injured. Before operating the machine, please read through the operating instructions completely, follow the Safety Instructions in this manual as well as the general Safety Instructions for Power Tools in the accompanying booklet. Important instructions, which should be read before starting operation, and which we strongly recommend observing: – For charging the batteries, only use a charger which is recommended by the manufacturer and never use the recommended charger to charge other electrical equipment. – Never carry the tool with your finger on the switch. – Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery. – Do not use any defective or deformed batteries. – Any machines and batteries that are not being used should be kept separately in a dry place that is high up or locked, out of the reach of children. For safety’s sake, a battery charger connected to the mains should also be permanently supervised. – Do not expose the machine, battery and battery charger to rain. Do not use the machines in a wet or damp environment. – Always keep the battery and battery charger clean and dry. – Do not open the battery and protect from impact. – Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger of explosion! Do not place the battery on radiators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage. AMT 132 – In extreme conditions battery fluid can leak out. This does not mean it is defective. If in such a case the casing is no longer sealed and battery fluid comes into contact with the skin, proceed as follows:

1. Wash affected skin immediately with soap and

2. Neutralise the battery fluid with vinegar or lemon

3. If the eyes are affected, rinse with clear water with

at least 10 minutes. Consult a doctor immediately! – Before connecting the charger to the mains, please check that the voltage of your mains connection corresponds to the voltage stated on the nameplate of the charger. – Always inspect the plug and cable before use. If damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified professional. – Caution - High voltage: Do not open the battery charger! – Ensure that the connection between the battery charger and battery is correctly positioned and is not obstructed by foreign bodies. – Keep battery charger slot free of foreign objects and protect against dirt and humidity.

For operation, noise protection measures are required. The acceleration measured is usually less than 2.5 m/s2.

Charging the batteries The rated voltage of the battery must agree with the value on the machine. – The batteries are not charged. They therefore have to be charged before use. – A new battery develops full power only after it has been subjected to approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles. – The maximum service life of the batteries is attained if you charge these at an ambient temperature of between +5 °C and max. +45 °C. – If the battery is not within the permitted loading temperature range (approx. +5 °C and +45 °C) charging time is extended by the cooling or warmup time. – Important! Batteries will discharge even if the tool is not used. They should therefore be re-charged regularly. Or better still – connect the battery to the mains charger which will automatically switch to maintenance charging after the battery has been fully charged. This is particularly useful for maintenance and for the optimal operational readiness of the batteries. – Do not leave the battery in the charger if the latter is not in operating condition. To ensure long service life, the batteries should always be charged in good time. This is particularly important if you notice a reduction in power ouput.

1. Remove battery 7 from the handle by simultaneously pressing the locking device 8.

2. Make sure that the mains voltage complies with

the voltage on the name-plate on the charger. Connect charger plug to mains.

3. Push battery into battery until it snaps into place.

Battery charging unit type: MSL 60 Use as Intended The device is only designed for charging Kress NiCd batteries with voltages between 12 V and 13.2 V. Charging Procedure The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug is inserted into the power supply socket and the battery is placed into battery charger slot. The “intelligent” battery charger recognises the charged condition of the battery and switches a fully charged battery immediately to trickle charging. By means of this charging process, the battery is protected and always fully charged. Rapid charging is only possible when the temperature of the battery is between +5 °C and +45 °C. The charging unit it suitable for continuous operation. Display and Key Blinking green indicator light: The battery has contact; charging is in progress (max. 60 minutes). Constant green indicator light: The battery is charged; the charger has switched to maintaining charge. Constant red light: The battery is not connected or too warm. Remove the battery from the charger and reconnect or allow to cool off to room temperature, then recommence charging. Constant red light: The battery is too hot or too cold. The charging process begins automatically as soon as the battery is in the permissible temperature range. Blinking red light: The battery is defective or there is a short between the charging contacts. – Remove the battery from the battery charger. – Pull out the mains plug! – Check the charging slot for foreign bodies. If the batteries cannot be charged correctly:

1. Make sure the socket is providing voltage.

2. Make sure the charging points provide good

3. Should charging still not be possible, please send

the battery and battery charger to our nearest service centre. Notes for the correct use of the battery: – To obtain the maximum service life, do not recharge the battery immediately after a short period of use but, if possible, discharge to the lower capacity limit and then recharge. – Avoid to the extent possible the blocking of the machine. The resulting excessive current flow leads to quick discharging and increased wear of the battery. – An increasingly shorter operating time per recharging of the battery is an indication that the battery is worn out and must be replaced. AMT 132 Do not carry out any repair on the charger yourself! As a basic rule, return the faulty machine to our next customer service centre (also in the case of defective mains cables)!

Inserting/Removing Tools Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery. Wear protective gloves. The clamping system has the advantage of being able to change the tools without requiring any other aid. When changing the tool, make sure that the sawblade receptacle is free from any material residue such as wood or metal chips. Inserting the Tool Push the hand guard 4 to the back. Turn the clamping lever 10 clockwise through 90° to the stop and hold firmly. Push the tool in fully and let go of the clamping lever 10. To lock, press the tip of the tool onto a wooden block until the clamping lever 10 springs back to its original position. Push the hand guard 4 forwards again. Only work when the hand guard 4 is closed. The roller guide curbs any tool deviations and serves for relieving the mechanism. As a stop it automatically produces the clamping angle of 90°. This is, of course, only applicable if original tools are used. Removing the Tool Push the hand guard 4 to the back. Turn the clamping lever 10 clockwise through 90° as far as the stop and hold firmly in this position. Pull out the tool.

Putting into Operation Convince yourself before using that the battery is securely seated in the machine. Switching On/Off The machine can only be switched on by pressing the locking button for the On/Off switch 5. This prevents the machine from being switched on unintentionally as well as any unwanted battery discharge. Using the On/Off switch 6 the number of infinitely variable strokes can be controlled and adapted to the specific treatment for the differing materials. Recommended number of strokes Low range for treating glass, ceramics and metal, and also for sawing using the tenon saw blade. Medium range for treating plastics, pressed material and plywood. High range for treating hard wood, soft wood and chip board. Adjusting the Pendulum Stroke Setting The pendulum stroke settings “0” and “1” are selected using the pendulum stroke switch 3. In position “0” the pendulum stroke is switched off. Recommended Pendulum Stroke Setting Position “0” Position “1”

for glass, ceramics, soft steel, non-ferrous metal, aluminium and pressed material. for plastics, plywood, hard wood, soft wood and chip board. Practical Tips The tool holder is designed for using different tools such as a sander, knife of brushes. The pendulum stroke must be switched off for these applications. For sawing, the pendulum movement must be switched off. As soon as a cutting depth of approx. 2 – 3 mm is reached, the pendulum action can be switched on to achieve an optimum cutting performance. When using a saw blade, make sure that the material to be sawn is pressed against the saw stop plate 2. This pressure is additionally supported by the movement of the saw blade 1. Should the saw blade jam, switch the machine off immediately, wedge the sawing slit open using a suitable tool and carefully pull out the machine together with the saw blade. When sawing metals the pendulum action must be switched off and a little oil should be applied to the cutting spot. Sheet metal should be clamped to a firm surface (chip board or plywood) in order to prevent the material from swinging with the sawing action as far as possible. Danger of kick-back: When the sawing procedure is finished, switch the machine off and do not pull the saw blade out of the cut until it has come to a standstill.

10 Maintenance Measures Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery. Always keep the ventilation slots clean. Wipe off the accessible plastic parts regularly with a cloth without cleaning agent. From time to time, a drop of oil should be applied to the moveable roller guide for the tool. Servicing Instructions If you make heavy use of the equipment for an extended period of time, we recommend returning it together with the charger to our servicing department for a thorough inspection at regular intervals.
