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. Insert it all the way until it locks in place

CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a battery protection system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current.
In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application
that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn
the tool on to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool
on again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Only for battery cartridges with "B" at the end of the
model number
Fig.2: 1. Indicator lamps 2. Check button
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remain-
ing battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for few seconds.

Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the clamping screw securely.

Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and
move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut,
secure the base by tightening the clamping screw.
Bevel cutting
Fig.4: 1. Clamping screw 2. Bevel scale plate
Loosen the clamping screw on the bevel scale plate on the
front of the base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 45°) by tilt-
ing accordingly, then tighten the clamping screw securely.
Sighting
Fig.5: 1. Cutting line
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base with
your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B position with it.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery cartridge into
the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the switch trigger
hard without pressing the lock-off lever. This can
cause switch breakage.
