DANGER:
Always remove the
battery pack when changing blade.
●
After changing a blade or making
adjustments, make sure the blade
clamp screw is securely tightened.
Loose blades and adjustment devices
could be violently thrown from the tool.
●
Never use dull or damaged blades.
Sharp blades must be handled with
care.
Damaged blades can snap
during use. Dull blades require more
force to cut the workpiece, possibly
causing the blade to break.
●
Never touch the blade during or
immediately after use.
After use the
blade is too hot to be touched.
●
Do not store or carry battery pack in
a manner in which metal objects
could contact exposed metal end.
Do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, drawers, etc. with loose nails,
screws, keys etc. The battery could
short circuit causing a fire, personal
injury or damage to the battery.
●
Never attempt to open the battery
pack for any reason.
If the housing of
the battery breaks or cracks,
immediately discontinue use and do
not recharge.
●
Do not charge the battery pack if it
is wet
or shows any evidence of
corrosion.
●
Do not incinerate the battery pack.
It
can explode in a fire.
●
Minor leakage from the battery pack
may occur under extreme usage,
charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. If,
however, the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin, follow
these steps:
1. Wash immediately with soap and
water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such
as lemon juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
NOTE: The battery fluid is a
20
–35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
●
Do not use an extension cord.
Plug
the charger cord directly into an
electrical outlet.
●
Use the charger only in a standard
110
–120 V/60 Hz electrical outlet.
●
WARNING:
The double-
insulated charger is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug
in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three-prong
grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
●
Charge the battery pack only with
the charger supplied with the saw.
