FUEL GAUGE BA'n'ERY PACKS (FIG. 4A)
Some DEWALTbattery packs include a FIG.4A
fuel gauge which consists of three
green LED lights that indicate the level
of charge remaining in the battery H

pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and
hold the fuel gauge button (H). A
combination of the three green LED
lights will illuminate designating the
level of charge left. When the level of
charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE" The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the
battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature and end-user
application.

Blade Installation and Removal
(Fig. 5-7, 11)
J_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Different blade lengths are available. Use the appropriate blade for
the application. The blade should be longer than 3-1/2" (89 mm)
and should extend past the shoe and the thickness of the workpiece
during the cut. Do not use jigsaw blades with this tool.
_WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur if the blade
does not extend past the shoe and the workpiece during the cut
(Fig. 5). Increased risk of personal injury, as well as damage to the
shoe and workpiece may result.
