Original Instructions
until the spikes dig into the edge of the wood, then move the
rear handle up or down in the direction of the cutting line to

OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The battery pack has over-temperature protection, which
is designed to protect the battery cells from damage in the
event of high temperatures. This feature may cause the
battery to stop powering the product until the battery cells
cool down. If the battery pack is warm to touch, allow it to
cool down before resuming operation. If the product still
does not work, connect the battery pack to the charger,
which can also indicate over-temperature protection. When
the battery cells cool down, the charger begins to charge
the battery.
NOTE: High ambient temperatures above 30° C and high-
power tools, such as chainsaws, can cause the battery cells
to heat up faster. Monitor the battery pack regularly, and if
it is warm to touch, change the battery or allow the battery
to cool down.
NOTE: The battery pack LED indicator stops working if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to
stop powering the product.
