MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
Your saw's battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging
will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could
result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
■
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.
■
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge
them immediately after they are discharged.
■
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your tool for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice
will prolong battery.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage
tool as well as workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
