FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 2)
Some D
E
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three green LED lights that
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery
pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button (p). A combination of the three green
LED lights will illuminate designating the level of
charge left. When the level of charge in the battery
is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE:
The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.
Attaching Side Handle (fi g. 1)
WARNING:
Before using the tool,
check that the handle is tightened
securely.
WARNING:
The side handle should
always be used to maintain control of
the tool at all times.
Screw the side handle (e) tightly into one of the holes
on either side of the gear case.
To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate
90° for cutting operations.
Rotating the Gear Case (fi g. 1)
1. Remove the four corner screws attaching the
gear case to motor housing.
2. Without separating the gear case from motor
housing, rotate the gear case head to desired
position.
NOTE:
If the gear case and motor housing become
separated by more than 1/8" (3.17 mm), the
tool must be serviced and re-assembled by an
authorised D
E
WALT service centre. Failure to have
the tool serviced may cause brush, motor and
bearing failure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the
motor housing. Tighten screws to 20 in.-lbs.
torque. Overtightening could cause screws to
strip.
