engaged. Do not use the saw unless the battery is secure.
Charging the battery
1. Make sure the power switch on the saw is in the OFF position and
remove the battery from the saw.
2. Connect the battery charger. Insert the battery in the charger. When the battery is in the charger, the red LED
should be lit. If the red button does not come on when the battery is inserted, press the SET button on the charger.
3. After approximately one hour of charging, the red indicator should go out and the green light should come on. The
green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.

will not work properly if the battery is not inserted correctly.
OPERATION
Remember that this tool is always in operating mode because it does not require connection to an electrical outlet.
Always set the power switch to the off position and remove the battery before replacing blades. Always hold the saw in
front of you and move it away from the body. Keep your hands and feet at a safe distance from the work piece. Never
feed the blade towards the work piece until the blade is at full speed. If the blade is not at full speed, the saw can
kickback. This can lead to serious personal injury.

Do not force the saw. Do not use more force than is required for the saw to move through the work piece.

Wear eye protection.

Remove foreign material from the saw.

Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vice or secure them on the workbench
with clamps.

Mark the cutting line so that it is clearly visible.

Press the power switch to turn on the saw.

Place the saw shoe against the work piece.

When the blade has reached full speed, slowly feed the blade towards the work piece.

2. Twist the locking ring anti-clockwise to release the saw blade.
3. Pull the saw blade straight out.

Sawing
Never lock the switch in the depressed position to provide continuous high-speed. The tool could stop working and

The blade must have reached full speed before it is placed against the work piece. Otherwise kickback can occur.

the speed.
