LED Light (Fig .5)
Your tool is equipped with a LED light, located
below the blade clamp of the tool. This
provides additional light on the surface of the
work piece for operation in lower-light areas.
The LED light will automatically turn on with a
slight squeeze on the variable-speed trigger
switch before the tool starts running, and will
turn off 8 to 12 seconds after the variable-
speed trigger switch is released.
The LED light will rapidly flash when the tool
and/or battery pack becomes overloaded
or too hot, and the internal sensors will turn

the tool off if the tool and/or battery pack are
overloaded. Rest the tool for a while or place
the tool and battery pack separately under air flow for to cool them.
The LED light will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at low-battery capacity.
Recharge the battery pack.
Blade Selection
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch (TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth per inch are better for cutting metal or plastic.
We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
