Inserting and Removing the
Battery Pack from the Tool (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack (O) is fully
charged.
TO INSTALL THE BATTERY PACK INTO THE TOOL HANDLE
1. Align the battery pack (O) with the rails inside
the tool's handle (Fig. 1).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is
firmly seated in the tool and ensure that you

pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button (T). 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.

Changing Blades

TO INSTALL THE BLADE (FIG. 2–5)
1. Remove the battery.
2. Using the lower guard lever (M), retract the
lower blade guard (K) and place blade on saw
spindle against the inner clamp washer (U),
making sure that the blade will rotate in the
proper direction (the direction of the rotation
arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must
point in the same direction as the direction of
rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume that
the printing on the blade will always be facing
you when properly installed. When retracting
the lower blade guard to install the blade, check
the condition and operation of the lower blade
guard to assure that it is working properly.
Make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
