NOTE:
• Keep hands and fingers away from the lever
during the switching operation. Failure to do so
may cause personal injuries.
• If you remove the saw blade without rotating
the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be
locked in the released position
rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then
make sure that the blade clamp lever locked at
the released position

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always press the shoe firmly against the work-
piece during operation. If the shoe is removed or
held away from the workpiece during operation,
strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced,
causing the blade to snap dangerously.
• Always wear gloves to protect your hands from
hot flying chips when cutting metal.
• Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
which conforms with current national standards.
• Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause prema-
ture blade wear.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light con-
tact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using
a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to continue
cutting.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
