LOW-BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
If the LED worklight begins to rapidly and continuously flash when the trigger
switch on the saw is depressed, the battery pack power has run out, and the
battery pack should be recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free
power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss
of power as you work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time
and needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
NOTE: The LED may also flash due to an overload or high temperature (see
BAI-rERY PROTECTION).
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over-
discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong its
life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded
or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely
high torque, binding, and stalling situations. This intelligent system will shut down
your battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds 176°F (800(3) and will begin
normal operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) - 122°F (50°C).
The LED light will begin flash slowly if the battery circuitry detects a
momentary overload.
NOTE: The battery can automatically reset. If the LED continues to flash rapidly,
it is indicating that the charge is substantially diminished. Place the battery into

TO ATTACH BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
Make sure that the latch on
the battery pack snaps into
place and the battery pack
is secured to the tool before
beginning operation.
1. Make surethat the saw • _ "
is "OFF."
2. Align the raised rib on
the batterypack with the
groovesof the Multi-Saw,
then attach the battery pack
to the Multi-Saw.

TO DETACH BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
1. Depress the battery-release button located on the both sides of the battery
pack to release battery pack.
2. Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the tool.
_, CAUTION: When placing the battery pack in the tool, be sure that the raised
rib on the battery pack aligns with the groove inside the Multi-Saw and the
latches snap into place properly. Improper assembly of the battery pack can
cause damage to internal components.
HOW TO GRASP THE TOOL
Reciprocating Saw Mode (Fig. 3)
Grasp the Multi-Saw as shown
in Fig.3. for best control of the
tool and comfortable use.
Jig Saw Mode (Fig. 3a)
Grasp the Multi-Saw as shown
in Fig. 3a for easy-to-control,
intricate cutting as a jig saw.
