ChARGING ThE BATTERY PACK
Warning! Only charge in compatible 18V chargers.
Use of other chargers may result in fire, damage or
serious personal injury.
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it until the green LED on
the front right hand side of the charger comes on.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation
followed by recharging) for them to become fully
charged.
First read the safety instructions then follow the
charging instructions.
Plug the charger into a standard 230V~50Hz mains
socket outlet, the green LED on the front left hand
side of the charger will illuminate.
Do not allow the cable to become knotted or kinked.
Place the battery pack into the charger base.
(Note the battery has raised ribs which allows it to fit
into the charger only one way). Time the charge for 60
minutes only.
The red LED on the front right hand side of the
charger will illuminate to indicate charging is in
progress. A green LED will illuminate when the battery
is fully charged.
Unplug the charger when not in use and store it in a
suitable storage cabinet.
Avoid charging your battery in freezing conditions as
charging power will not be sufficient.
When charging more than one battery pack in
succession allow at least 30 minutes for the charger
to cool down before charging an additional battery.
Always remove the battery pack and store it safely
when the tool is not in use.
Caution: If at any point during the charging process
none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from
the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT
insert another battery.
ASSEMBLY
ATTAChING ThE BLADE
A 6 1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the
spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the
blade guard, while thicker blades will prevent blade
screw from securing the blade on the spindle. Either
of these situations could result in a serious accident.
Always remove the battery before installing blades.
The blade is extremely sharp and care must be
observed when handling. Caution must be observed
as the blade guard is spring loaded and if released
may cause an injury. Rotate the blade guard into the
fully open position and secure it in this position using
a screwdriver or piece of wood.
Depress the spindle lock button Fig.3.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the spindle or
spindle lock, always allow motor to come to a
complete stop before engaging spindle lock.
Remove the blade screw by turning it
counterclockwise with the hex key, while keeping the
spindle lock button depressed Fig.4.
Remove the blade washer noting which way round it
is fitted.
Fit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and
onto the spindle ensuring that the direction of rotation
arrow on the blade corresponds with the direction of
rotation arrow on the fixed guard arrow Fig.5.
NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw.
Replace the blade washer. Depress the spindle lock
button, then replace the blade screw. Tighten the
blade screw securely by turning it clockwise.
Note: Check the tightness of the blade securing bolt
before, during and after each use.
