ion batteries shortens their service life dra-
matically. The tool includes a battery protec-
tion feature designed to prevent excessive
discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature activates
immediately before the battery loses its
charge, causing the battery low warning
lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning lamp
flashing, charge the battery pack immedi-
ately.
For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
It is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the cutter firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
• Figure 14 shows proper cutting position.
• Note that hands are kept away from cutting
area.
• Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
• When cutting, do not try to hold the material
with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the
depth of the cut so that you only cut through
the workpiece, not through the supports.
(See Fig. 15)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not cor-
rectly supported. If you attempt to cut without
levelling and properly supporting the work-
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
kickback. (See Fig. 16)
• Don't support the material away from the
cut.
Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 1"
from the edge of the workpiece to avoid in-
jury or damage to the tool caused by thin
strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
•Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
