manual for your battery pack and charger.
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 3, page 10.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Rotate the blade clamp counterclockwise and hold to
open.
 Insert saw blade until it is fully seated.
NOTE: Blade can be installed with teeth facing either up
or down.
 Release the blade clamp to secure.
 To remove the blade, rotate the blade clamp counter-
clockwise.
