OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO ATTACH BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
1. Ensure that the trigger switch is in the “off” position.
2. Align the raised rib on the battery pack (G) with the
grooves on the bottom of the saw, and then attach the
battery pack to the saw.
NOTE
: Make sure that the latch on the battery pack
snaps into place and the battery pack is secured to the
tool before beginning operation.
CAUTION:
When placing the battery pack on the tool,
be sure that the raised rib on battery pack aligns with
the groove on the saw and the latches snap into place
properly. Improper assembly of the battery pack can
cause damage to internal components.
TO DETACH BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
1. Ensure that the trigger switch is in the “off” position.
2. Depress the battery-release button (H) located on the front of the battery pack to release the
battery pack.
3. Pull the battery forward to remove from the tool.
BLADE SELECTION
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically used for cutting wood; blades with
more teeth are better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft
metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
INSTALLING A SAW BLADE (Fig. 3)
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Pivot the blade-clamp lever (E) to open the blade
clamp.
3. Insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as
possible, and release the blade-clamp lever to lock
the blade in position.
4. Check that the blade is securely attached.
