To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the

red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the

Battery protection system
(Lithium-ion battery with star marking)
1
012128
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, press ON/OFF switch on the
tool and stop the application that caused the
tool to become overloaded. Then press
ON/OFF switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pressing ON/OFF switch again.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
Selecting the cutting action
013870
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight
line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting
action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke
and greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.
