OPERATION
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
page 9
See Figures 2 - 3,
.
To install:
Lock the switch trigger by sliding the lock-off button into
the lock position.
Place the battery pack into the saw. Align the raised ribs
on the battery pack with the grooves inside the saw.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
tool before beginning operation.
To remove:
Lock the switch trigger by sliding the lock-off button into
the lock position.
Depress the latches on the side of the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's
manual for your battery pack and charger.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the tool is forced or overloaded, the Li-ion battery
pack will automatically shut off the tool. To reset the tool,
release the trigger and resume operation. If the tool still does
not resume operation, remove and reinsert the battery. Do
not force the tool.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Li-ion battery packs are equipped with a high temperature
protection feature that automatically deactivates the tool
when it is overheated. To resume operation, allow the tool
to cool and then squeeze the trigger.
SELECTING BLADES
Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to
obtain the best performance from the saw. Select the blade
based on the application and on the material you wish to
cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster
cut and prolong the life of the blade.
Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically
used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are
better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for
plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BLADE
See Figure 4, page 9.
To install the blade:
Remove the battery pack.
Raise the blade clamp lever and hold to open.
Insert the saw blade until it is fully seated.
NOTE: The blade can be installed with teeth facing either
up or down.
Release the blade clamp lever to secure.
To remove the blade:
Raise the blade clamp lever.
Remove the blade from the saw.
CHANGING POSITIONS OF THE SHOE
ASSEMBLY
See Figures 5 - 6, page 9.
The length of the shoe is adjustable, and the pivot angle of
the shoe adjusts automatically to the angle of the cut.
To change length of the shoe assembly:
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Unlock the shoe release lever by pulling it downward.
Reposition the shoe assembly.
Lock the shoe release lever by pushing it toward the saw.
The shoe assembly will not lock into place if it is extended
too far. Make sure the shoe assembly is securely locked
before replacing the battery pack.
TURNING THE SAW ON/OFF
See Figure 7, page 10.
To turn the saw on: Slide lock-off button to the unlock
position, and press the switch trigger.
To turn the saw off: Release the switch trigger.
CAUTION:
Lock-off button should be in the lock position when
saw is not in use or is being transported.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
