pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
u
other appliance.
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
u
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
u
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C).
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
u
and charger to your local service center.
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
u
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
u
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other
u
liquid.
Warning! Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a
service center for recycling.
Bad Battery (may not be included)
If you see a bad battery blink pattern, do not continue
to charge this battery. Return it to a service center or a
collection site for recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay (may not be included)
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life. A cold battery pack will charge at a
slower rate than a warm battery pack. The pack will charge at
that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will
not return to maximum charge rate even if the pack warms.
Installing and removing the battery pack from the
tool (may not be included)
Warning! Before attempting any of the following operations,
make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged and that
the saw blade has stopped.
(Original instructions)
To install the battery pack (fig. A)
Insert battery pack into tool as shown in figure A. Ensure
u
battery pack is fully seated and fully latched into position.
Ensure battery pack is fully seated and fully latched into
u
position.
To Remove the battery pack (fig. B)
Depress the battery release button as shown in figure B.
u
and pull battery pack out of tool.
Supporting large panels/Securing workpiece (fig.
C)
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching
u
and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight as shown in figure C.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides,
u
near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel figure
C.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
u
leg figure D.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as shown in
u
figure E. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Cutting Depth Adjustment - (fig. F - G)
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness
u
of the workpiece.
Loosen the depth adjustment knob (6) to unlock the saw
u
shoe (5) as shown in figure F.
Move the saw shoe into the desired position. The cor-
u
responding depth of cut can be read from the scale (12).
Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth (10) of
u
the blade projects below the workpiece (16) as shown in
figure G.
Tighten the knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
u
Bevel Angle Adjustment - (fig. K)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0° and 50°
Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (14) to unlock the saw
u
shoe (5).
Move the saw shoe (5) into the desired position. The cor-
u
responding bevel angle can be read from the scale (9).
Tighten the bevel adjustment knob (15) to lock the saw
u
shoe in place.
Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the bevel
u
angle of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Shoe Adjustment For 90° Cuts
The shoe (5) has been set by the factory to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the shoe at 0° bevel setting.
IF REALIGNMENT IS NEEDED:
Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
u
Retract blade guard (11).
