before. At the end of its technical life, discard it with due care for
ourenvironment:

thetool.
• Li‑Ion cells are recyclable. Take them to your dealer or a

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
C
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.
Cutting (Fig. H, I)

WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear approved eyeprotection.

WARNING: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards
operator. Always hold saw firmly with both hands
whilecutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored
or clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly against
work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain
maximum speed before applying pressure. Whenever possible,
the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being
cut (Fig.I). This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating
and minimise blade breakage. Any cuts that put pressure on the
blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration,
kickback, and bladebreakage.

WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and
pay particular attention to overhead wires that may be
hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches
and debris ahead oftime.

WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water
pipes, or electrical wires before making blind or plunge
cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property
damage, electric shock, and/or serious personalinjury.
Worklight (Fig. A)
There is a worklight
9
located on the end of the tool near the
shoe. The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is
depressed and will remain on for a short time after the trigger
switch is released. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the
worklight will remainon.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Battery Indicator
As the battery nears a fully discharged state, the flashlight
will blink twice and then the brightness of the light will drop
below the normal level. This cycle will repeat until the battery is
fullydischarged.
To unlock the trigger switch, press the lock‑off button as
shown in Figure C. Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor ON.
Releasing the trigger switch turns the motorOFF.

WARNING: This tool has no provision to lock the switch
in the ON position, and should never be locked ON by any
othermeans.
The variable speed trigger switch will give you added versatility.
The further the trigger is depressed the higher the speed of
thesaw.

CAUTION: Use of very slow speed is recommended only
for beginning a cut. Prolonged use at very slow speed may
damage yoursaw.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
