4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE:
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and
its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a
while.
CAUTION
䡬
When the battery charger has been continuosly
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charging.
䡬
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
䡬
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects
in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are
no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery
or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Mounting the blade
This unit employs a detachable mechanism that
enables mounting and removal of saw blades
without the use of a wrench or other tools.
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times
so that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and
remove the battery (
Fig. 5
).
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off
and the battery removed to prevent any accident.
(2) Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark
shown in
Fig. 6
marked on the lever (
Fig. 6
).
(3) Insert the saw blade all the way into the small slit
of the plunger tip with the lever pushing. You can
mount this blade either in the upward or downward
direction (
Fig. 7
,
Fig. 8
).
(4) When you release the lever, the spring force will
return the lever to the correct position automatically
(
Fig. 9
).
(5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times
by hand and check that the blade is securely
mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know
it is properly mounted if it clicks and the lever
moves slightly (
Fig. 10
).
CAUTION
When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to
pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade
will result in an injury.
2. Dismounting the blade
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times
so that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and
remove the battery (
Fig. 5
).
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off
and the battery removed to prevent any accident.
(2) After you have pushed the lever in the direction
of the arrow mark shown in
Fig. 6
and secured it,
turn the blade so it faces downward. The blade
should fall out by itself. If the blade doesn’t fall out,
pull it out by hand.
CAUTION
Never touch the saw blade immediately after use.
The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.
WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN
Even when the saw blade is broken and remains
inside the small slit of the plunger, it should fall
out if you push the lever in the direction of the
arrow mark, and face the blade downward. If it
doesn’t fall out itself, take it out using the procedures
explained below.
(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out
of the small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding
part and take the blade out.
(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small
slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another
saw blade and take it out (
Fig. 11
).
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAW BLADE
MOUNT
(1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture,
etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc.,
to ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly.
(2) As shown in
Fig. 12
, carry out lubrication around
the blade holder on a periodic basis by use of
cutting fluid, etc.
NOTE
Continued use of the tool without cleaning and
lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed
can result in some slack movement of the lever due
to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the
circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the
lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown
in
Fig. 13
and remove the rubber cap from the lever.
Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with
air and the like and carry out sufficient lubrication.
The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly
onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there
exists no clearance between the blade holder and
the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the
saw-blade-installed area can function smoothly.
CAUTION
Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade
hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off,
resulting in personal injury (
Fig. 14
).
