INTENDED USE

This heavy-duty band saw is designed for professional metal cutting 

applications. 

DO NOT

DO NOT

 let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is 

required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 2)

LOCK-OFF BUTTON AND TRIGGER SWITCH

Your saw is equipped with a lock-off button (B). 
To lock the trigger

 

switch (C), press the lock-off button as shown in 

Figure 3. Always lock the trigger switch (C) when carrying or storing 

the tool to eliminate unintentional starting. 

    b.  Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which 

turns power off when you turn out the lights; 

   c.  Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the 

surrounding air temperature is approximately 65  °F – 75  °F 

(18° – 24 °C); 

    d.  If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and 

charger to your local service center.

  5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce 

sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO 

NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the 

charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack 

whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

  6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited 

to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any 

buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger 

cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when 

there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before 

attempting to clean.

  7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: 

Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the 

charger. Electric shock may result. 

WARNING:

 Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in 

any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt 

to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the 

battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

  1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct 

sunlight and excess heat or cold.

 2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged 

battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal 

results.

NOTE:

 Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of 

charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.
