Rechargeable Battery Pack
This long life battery pack must be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done before. At the end of its
technical life, discard it with due care for our environment:
• Run the battery pack down completely, then remove it from the tool.
• Li-Ion cells are recyclable. Take them to your dealer or a local recycling
station. The collected battery packs will be recycled or disposed of
properly.
CUTTING ROUND MATERIAL
ROUNDED MATERIAL SHOULD BE CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO
THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important
when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL (FIG. 24)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit
beneath the lower guard. To clear the guard over the wood, with the
saw off and your right hand on the operating handle, place your right
thumb outside of the upper portion of the guard and roll the guard up
just enough to clear the wood, as shown in Figure 24. Release the guard
prior to starting the motor. The guard mechanism will function properly
during the cut. Only do this when necessary. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR
OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
