• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you
can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or
twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has
discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle.
Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade
making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance
uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt
to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and
lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait
for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start
cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and
wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
