battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to
stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the
trigger and resume normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool. Switching to a lower speed will also
prevent shut down.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and
tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery
pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion
charger.

KICKBACK
See Figures 5 - 8.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the
saw is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused
by any action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER

stalls. Kickback could cause you to lose control
of the saw. Loss of control can lead to serious
injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices
such as the following.
Setting blade depth incorrectly.
Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.
Twisting the blade while making a cut.
Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly
set blade.
Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
Forcing a cut.
