INSTALLING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
NOTE: Battery pack is shipped in a low charge condition.
Therefore, it must be charged prior to use. Refer to
page 13, "CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for charging
instructions.
n Place battery pack in your saw. Align raised rib on
battery pack with groove inside saw, then slide battery
pack in saw as shown in figure 5.
n Make sure the latches on each side of your battery
pack snap into place and battery pack is secured in
saw before beginning operation.
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in your saw,
be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with groove
inside saw and latches snap into place properly.
Improper assembly can cause damage to saw and
battery pack.
ATTACHING BLADE
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
A 5-1/2 in. (140 mm) blade is the max-
imum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade
that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to en-
gage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will
come in contact with the blade guard, while thicker
blades will prevent blade screw from securing blade
on spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
n Remove battery pack from saw.
n Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress to
release battery pack from your saw.
n Remove blade wrench (6 mm hex key) from storage
area.
