measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Protection Against Deep
Discharging
The lithium ion battery is protected
against deep discharging by the
"Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)".
When the battery is empty, the tool is
switched off by means of a protective
circuit.
Lock-Off Switch
Your tool is equipped with a lock-off
switch located above the trigger. This
lever is designed for locking the trigger
in the "OFF" position to help prevent
accidental starts and accidental battery
discharge.
To activate the trigger lock, move the
switch to the far right position (Fig. 1).
To unlock trigger, move switch to the far
left position.
Variable Speed Controlled
Trigger Switch
Your tool is equipped with a variable
speed controlled trigger switch. The
tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The
blade plunger stroke rate can be
adjusted from the minimum to maximum
nameplate stroke rate by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and
release pressure to decrease speed.
Battery Charge Condition
Indicator Lights
Your tool is equipped with charge
condition indicator lights (Fig. 1). The
indicator lights shows the charge
condition of the battery for a few
second when the On/Off trigger is
pressed halfway or fully.

Temperature/Stall
Protection Indicator Light
Your tool has a red indicator light built
into it to protect the motor and battery
(Fig. 1).
If the red indicator light illuminates
continuously the battery temperature is
too hot and the tool will automatically
shut itself off. Turn tool off and let the
battery cool down before resuming use.
If the red indicator light is blinking the
tool has stalled
automatically shut itself off. Simply take
the tool out of the material you were
stalled in, and the tool will begin to
operate again at the selected speed.
Using the Saw
on the front housing. If you saw into a
blind area where live wiring exists, you
may be shocked or electrocuted.
1. Securely clamp the work.
2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the
tool with one hand on the handle and
the other placed on the insulated
rubber boot over the front housing.
3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against
the work to minimize counter-force
(jumping) and vibration.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool.
Let the saw reach full speed before
starting the cut. Guide the saw so
that the blade will move along the
marked line.
SAWING TIPS
Following a few simple tips will reduce
the wear on the workpiece, the tool and
the operator.
1. Blades cut on the draw or back
stroke. On fine work, such as
paneling, fiberglass, etc., place the
good side of workpiece facing down.
2. Use the correct saw blade for the
material being cut and keep extra
blades on hand to use when others
