(4) Safety switch lever
The Model C 6DC2 is equipped with an safety switch lever at
the side of the handle for safety. Users who are familiar with
AC-powered circular saws might feel a little awkwardness
in handling the safety switch lever. However, this lever is
equipped for user's safety and the salespersons must
instruct the users not to insert any foreign substance such
as a chip of wood in the safety switch lever to ensure the correct
functioning of the safety switch lever. Refer to the Handling Instructions ("Operation of Switch" on the page 6
for Australia and New Zealand and on the page 18 for the U.S.A. and Canada) for operation of the safety
switch lever.
8-3. Inherent Drawbacks of Cordless Circular Saws Requiring Particular Attention During Sales Promotion
The cordless circular saw offers many advantages; it can be used in places where no power source is available,
the absence of a cord allows easy use, etc. However, any cordless electric power tool has certain inherent
drawbacks. Salespersons must be thoroughly familiar with these drawbacks in order to properly advise the
customer in the most efficient use of the tool.
(1) Do not overload the motor.
As the Model C 6DC2 is a battery-powered cordless circular saw, the motor's output and torque are less than
those of ordinary AC-powered circular saws. Do not twist or thrust the main body during cutting. Otherwise,
the motor becomes locked and will cause burning of the motor or deterioration of the battery. The motor must
not be locked during operation.
(2) Avoid continuous heavy-duty operation.
Cutting a thick workpiece with strong pressure can put a heavy load on the motor. If such an operation is
performed continuously, the temperature of the motor and the housing will rise and burning of the motor will
result. Do not perform heavy-duty operations continuously.
(3) Do not place any foreign substance in the vent hole of the main body.
The outer body of this unit is provided with a vent hole for greater cooling efficiency. Since the motor has a
built-in cooling fan, a foreign substance inserted into the vent hole is likely to cause mechanical failure.
Instruct your customer never to cover or block the vent hole.
(5) Variation in amount of work possible per charge.
Although the nominal chargeable capacity of the storage batteries used with the Model C 6DC2 is 2,000 mAh,
the actual capacity may vary within 10 % than that value depending on the ambient temperatures during use
and charging, and the number of times the batteries have been recharged. It should be noted that other
factors which may have a bearing on the amount of work possible per charge are the working conditions
(ambient temperature, type and moisture content of the workpiece, sharpness of the drill bit, etc.) and
operational skill of the user.
