WARNING!
When the saw is hung by the hook, do not
shake the saw or the object that it is hanging
from. Do not hang the saw from any electrical
wires. Make sure that the structure used to
hang the saw is secure. Personal injury or
property damage may occur.
Only use the hook for hanging the saw. Using
the hook to hang anything else could lead to
serious injury.
Do not use the hook to reach another object
or use the hook to support your weight in any
situation.

Line guide (see figure I)
Use the cut notch in the base plate for
guidance. The cut notch will indicate an
approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts to
verify the actual line of cut.
Sighting guide (see figure J)
The sight window (J-1)and two alignment
marks (J-2, J-3) for two different saw blades
(136 mm and 150 mm) in the foot make it
easier to see the saw blade position when
cutting at maximum depth, especially when
the workpiece does not need to be cut-off.
Line up the cut notch with your cutting line,
start the saw and beginning cut. Observe the
position of the saw blade through the sight
window or marks, turn off the tool once it
reaches the position where you want to stop
cutting.
The window and marks on both sides of the
saw blade make the right-handed or left-
handed users to observe the saw blade
position from different angles.
Hex key storage (see figure K)
When not in use, store the hex key as shown
in the figure K to keep it from being lost.
Switching on and off (see figure
L)
The tool is equipped with a lock-off button (3)
to avoid unintentional starting.
To switch on, depress the lock-off button (3)
and squeeze the trigger switch (2).
To switch off, release the trigger switch (2).
CAUTION!
Allow the blade to come to a complete
standstill before setting the saw down.
LED light (see figure M)
The LED light (21) will automatically turn on
with a slight squeeze of the trigger switch (2)
before the tool starts running. It will turn off
approximately 10 seconds after the trigger
switch (2) is released.
When the tool and/or battery becomes
overloaded or too hot, the LED light will
rapidly flash. Rest the tool for a while or place
the tool and battery separately under air flow
for cooling.
The LED light will flash more slowly to
indicate that the battery charge is at low
capacity. Recharge the battery.
