Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.

To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set
plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the
cartridge while withdrawing it from the tool.
•
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into
place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the tool to prevent the battery cartridge from
accidentally falling out of the tool.

is not being inserted correctly.

CAUTION:
•
Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade, blade clamp and/or slider.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening
of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt on the blade clamp
with the hex wrench. Keep the back edge of the blade
against the roller and insert the blade between the blade
clamp and the slider as far as it will go. Make sure that
you are inserting the blade into the proper position.
Fit the pin on the slider into the hole in the blade shank.

The hole in the blade shank will be aligned with the
pin on the slider when the blade shank hits against
the spring pin on the slider.
After the pin fits properly into the hole, tighten the bolt
clockwise securely while making sure that the blade
cannot be extracted even though you try to pull it out.

cause the blade to be extracted unexpectedly
during operation.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
