1.
Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.
2.
Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3.
If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4.
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5.
Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conduc-
tive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
6.
Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7.
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8.
Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9.
Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4.
Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator
on the upper side of the button, it is not locked com-
pletely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot be
seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, caus-
ing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Adjusting the depth of groove (Fig. 2)
6 grooving depths can be preset according to the size of biscuit to be used.
Refer to the table below for the correspondence between the sizes marked on the stopper and the biscuit size. Fine
adjustments to the grooving depth can be made by turning the adjusting screw after loosening the hex nut. This may
become necessary after the blade has been resharpened a few times.
* With the rubber spikes removed.
Angle guide (Fig. 3 & 4)
The angle guide height can be moved up and down to
adjust the position of the blade in relation to the top of the
workpiece.
To adjust the angle guide height, loosen the lock lever
down and rotate the knob until the pointer points to the
desired scale graduation marked on the angle guide.
Then tighten the lock lever up to secure the angle guide.
The scale on the angle guide indicates the distance from
the top of the workpiece to the center of the blade thick-
ness.
The angle guide is removable from the fence according
to the need of your work. To remove the angle guide,
loosen the lock lever and turn the knob clockwise until it
comes out of the upper end of the fence.
Fence (Fig. 5 & 6)
NOTE:
• Remove the angle guide according to the need of your
work when using the tool with the angle of the fence
adjusted to other than 0°. When you need to use the
angle guide under the above condition, be sure to
adjust the depth of groove to get a proper depth.
