OPERATION

CAUTION:

 

Be sure to move the tool forward 

in a straight line gently.

 Forcing or twisting the tool 

will result in overheating the motor and dangerous 

kickback, possibly causing severe injury.

NOTE:

 

When the battery cartridge temperature is low, 

the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this time, for 

example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for a while until 

the battery cartridge warms up as high as room tem

-

perature. Then, the tool can work to its full capacity.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front 

grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. 

If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by 

the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece 

to be cut without the circular saw blade making any 

contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular 

saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool 

forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and 

advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.

To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and 

your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop

-

erly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn 

or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind 

the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback 

and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for cir

-

cular saw blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign 

tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to 

avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and 

wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection 

to help avoid injury.

Rip fence (Guide rule)

Optional accessory

 Rip fence (Guide rule) 

2.

 Clamping screw

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate 

straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly 

against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-

tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It 

also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

Lanyard (tether strap) connection

Safety warnings specific for use at height

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

 Failure to follow 

the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.

1. 

Always keep the tool tethered when working "at 

height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).

2. 

Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool 

type and rated for at least 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs).

3. 

Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on 

your body or on movable components. Anchor 

the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can 

withstand the forces of a dropped tool.

4. 

Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at 

each end prior to use.

5. 

Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use 

for damage and proper function (including 

fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or 

not functioning properly.

6. 

Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to 

come in contact with sharp or rough edges.

7. 

Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the 

working area so that a falling tool is held securely.

8. 

Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move 

away from the operator if it falls.

 Dropped tools 

will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury 

or loss of balance.

9. 

Do not use near moving parts or running 

machinery.

 Failure to do so may result in a crush 

or entanglement hazard.

10. 

Do not carry the tool by the attachment device 

or the lanyard.

11. 

Only transfer the tool between your hands 

while you are properly balanced.

12. 

Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that keeps 

guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly.

13. 

Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.

14. 

Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.
