• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to indicate a charging
problem. Reinsert the battery pack or try a new one. If the new pack
also refuses to charge, have your charger tested by an authorised
D
E
WALT repair agent.
Automatic refresh
The automatic refresh mode will equalize or balance the
individual cells in the battery pack at its peak capacity.
Battery packs should be refreshed overnight after every
10th charge/discharge cycle or whenever the pack no
longer delivers the same amount of work.
• To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the charger as usual.
The red light will blink continuously indicating that the charge cycle has
started.
• When the 1-hour charge cycle has completed, the light will stay on
continuously and will no longer blink. The pack is fully charged and can
be used at this time.
• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge,
the charger will automatically initiate the refresh mode. This mode will
continue up to 8 hours, but the battery pack can be removed at any
time during the refresh mode.
Inserting and removing the battery pack (fig. D1)
• Insert the battery pack into the corresponding slot in the tool until it
clicks in place. You may need to use some force to fully engage the
spring-loaded mechanism.
• To remove the battery pack, press the release button (21).
We recommend to insert the battery pack into the charger directly after
removing it from the tool.
Battery cap (fig. D2)
A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of a detached battery
pack. Without the protective cap in place, loose metal objects could short
circuit the contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (41) before placing the battery pack (22) in
the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts immediately after removing
the battery pack from the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place before storing or
carrying a detached battery pack.
AIR COOLED
The charger is equipped with an internal fan for rapid cooling of battery
packs. The fan will be automatically switched on when required. The fan
will also be switched on periodically when there is no battery in the
charger in order to blow dust from the fan vents.
Always wear safety glasses when plugging in the charger.
In order to sustain the life duration of battery packs, we recommend to
use air-cooled battery packs only.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold,
it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until
the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red indicator blinks long, then short while in the
Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
Assembly
Prior to assembly, always remove the battery pack.
Mounting the saw blade (fig. E1 - E5)
• Depress the head lock up release lever (17) to release the lower guard (2),
then raise the lower guard as far as possible.
• Loosen the guard bracket screw (43) sufficiently to allow the guard
bracket (44) to be raised to permit access to the blade locking screw (45).
• With the lower guard held in the raised position by the guard bracket
screw (43) depress the spindle lock button (16) with one hand, then
use the supplied blade spanner (26) in the other hand to loosen the
left-hand threaded blade screw (45) by turning clockwise.
To use the spindle lock, press the button as shown and rotate
the spindle by hand until you feel the lock engage. Continue to
hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning.
• Remove the blade locking screw (45) and the outside arbor collar (46).
• Install the saw blade (47) onto the shoulder (48) provided on the inside
arbor collar (49), making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the
blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the operator).
• Replace the outer arbor collar (46).
• Tighten the blade locking screw (45) by turning counter-clockwise while
holding the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.
• Move the guard bracket (44) down so that it fully screens the blade
locking screw (45).
• Tighten the guard bracket screw (43).
• Never press the spindle lock while the blade is rotating.
• Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly tighten the
guard bracket screws after installing the blade.
Adjustment
Prior to adjustment always remove the battery pack.
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due
to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps
below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain
accurate.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fig. F1 - F4)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (50).
• Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
Do not tighten the lever.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (51).
• Place a square (52) against the left side (7) of the fence and blade (47)
(fig. F3).
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (53) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or
right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square.
• Retighten the screws (53). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fig. F1, F2 & G)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the
mitre arm (50).
