WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another.
Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fi re.

tool is maintained.
Open/Close Switch and Blade Release
Use the
open/close switch
to open or close
the blade, make a cut, remove the blade from a
partial cut, and release the blade from a tightly
closed position.
To
•
open
the blade, move the open/close switch
to Open .
To
•
close
the blade, move the open/close switch
to Close .
Use the
blade release
to open or close
the blade when the battery pack has no

is tightly closed, excessive force on the blade
release trigger may damage the mechanism.

close
the blade, pull and hold the blade release
trigger. Press down on the blunt back edge of the
blade until it is fully closed. Release the blade
release trigger.
