FOREWORD

Delta Model CL180CS Cordless Circular saw is designed to cut 2" (51mm)

finished lumber at 90°, using a 5-1/2" (140mm) diameter, ultra thin-kerf blade

having a .394" (10mm) diameter mounting hole.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK GENERAL

Before using your cordless tool for the first time, the battery pack should be fully

charged. If the battery pack is installed in the tool, remove it by following instruc-

tions under INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK.

As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp drop

in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform the task at hand, it is time

to recharge the battery pack. Recharging the battery pack before this condition is

reached will reduce the total work life of the pack. Discharging the pack beyond

this point can damage the pack.

NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use.

Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged immediately

after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before

charging for best results.

The battery charger must rest on the four pads provided on the bot-

tom of the case. Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be obstructed.

Do not charge battery when temperature is BELOW 40°F (4.4°C) or ABOVE 104°F

(40°C).

NORMAL CHARGING

Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger

specification plate. Connect charger to power source. The orange light (A) Fig.

2, should light up. This indicates the charger is ready to begin charging.

Position battery pack on charger, align rails (D) Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, on battery

charger with four tabs (C) Fig. 3 on battery pack. Slide battery forward onto

charger until it stops.

The red light (B) Fig. 2, should begin to glow continuously, indicating that the

battery pack is receiving a "Fast Charge" (if the red light does not glow contin-

uously, and the green light (C) Fig. 2, begins to glow: remove battery and re-

insert when battery temperature is between 40°F (4.4°C) and 104°F (40°C). After

approximately one hour, the "Fast Charge" indicator light (red) should go out

indicating that the battery pack is fully charged and that the charger is now in a

"Trickle Charge" mode (green light). The battery pack can be left on "Trickle

Charge" until you are ready to use it.
