OPERATION
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Never approach any part of your
body under the tool base when section cutting,
especially at starting. Doing so may cause seri-
ous personal injuries.Thebladeisexposedunder
the tool base.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low,thetoolmaynotworktoitsfullcapacity.Atthis
time,forexample,usethetoolforalight-dutycutfor
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
asroomtemperature.Then,thetoolcanworktoits
fullcapacity.

the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback
andpossibleseriousinjury.Releasetheswitch,wait
forthecircularsawbladetostopandthenwithdraw
