SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

Keep work area clean and well lit.

1)
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools in

2)

explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.

3)

Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical Safety

Power tool plugs must match the

1)

outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or

2)

grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or

3)

wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

4)

cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.

5)

When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

6)

If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.

Use of RCD reduces the risk of elec­trical shock.

Personal Safety

1) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence o
drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operat­ing power tools may result in personal
injury.

2) Use safety equipment. Always wear

eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri­ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finge
on the switch or plugging in the power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

4) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power
tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

7) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your
application.

The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.

2) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is danger­ous and must be repaired.

3) Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools.

Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.

4) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper­ate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.

5) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

Battery Tool Use and Care

1) Ensure the switch is in the off

position before inserting battery
pack.

Inserting battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites acci­dents.

2) Recharge only with the charger

specified by the manufacture .

A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another batter
pack.

3) Use power tools only with speci-

cally designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire

4) When battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another.

Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns, or a fire

5) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with wate . If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

Service

1) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using onl
identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of
power tool is maintained.

control trigger and squeeze again for
normal operation.

8) Be careful not to get dust inside the
chuck.

9) Do not touch the rotating parts to
avoid injury.

10) Do not use the tool continuously for a
long period of time. Stop using the
tool from time to time to avoid
temperature rise and heat overload of
the motor.

11) Do not drop the tool.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemi­cals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemical­ly-treated lumber.

To reduce your exposure to these chemi­cals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic part ­cles.

Using the hook

The hook is intended for hanging on
stepladders, etc. and should not be used to
hang at your side on a belt. If the hook is not
required, the screw can be loosened to remove
it.

WARNING

Do not hang the hook at your side such as

•
on a belt

•

Check that the hook is not unstable and the

screw is not loose.

Example of Use

Rubber belt inspection

A rubber belt is attached to the outer rim of the
saw blade rotation roller (inlay type).
Be sure to check the rubber belt for tightness and
damage whenever exchanging the saw blade.
A loose or damaged rubber belt may cause the
saw blade to run unevenly or jump out, so be sure
to contact your retailer in this event.

WARNING

Periodically remove any debris from the rubber
belt.
Failure to do so may cause the saw blade to slip
or be unable to cut.

Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion
batteries shortens their service life dramatically.
The tool includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive discharging of
the battery pack.

• The battery protection featureactivatesimme-

diately before the battery loses its charge,
causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.

• If younotice the battery low warning lamp

flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.

• If it is started with too little battery power

remaining, the tool may stop operating without
the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little battery power
remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack
should be charged before further use.

• If the tool is subject to a sudden load during

use that causes the motor to lock up, the over­discharge prevention sensor may be triggered,
and the battery low warning lamp may flash.
The lamp will stop flashing once you address
the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle
the trigger.

CAUTION:

The over-discharge protection function works
even when both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light are flashing.

• Charge the battery pack immediately as the

battery power is getting low.

• When charging a cool battery pack (below

0 °C (32 °F)) in a warm place, leave the battery
pack at the place and wait for more than one
hour to warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.

The overheating protection feature halts tool
operation to protect the battery pack in the event
of overheating. The overheat warning lamp on
the control panel flashes when this feature is
active.

• If theoverheatingprotectionfeature activates,

allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30
minutes). The tool is ready for use when the
overheat warning lamp goes out.

• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the

• If the tool is used in cold-temperature condi-

tions (such as during winter) or if it is
frequently stopped during use, the overheating
protection feature may not activate.

• The ambient temperature range is between

0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), the tool may
fail to function properly.

• Whenchargingacoolbatterypack(below0°C
