4. As the blade starts cutting, raise the
handle of the tool slowly until the shoe
rests firmly on the workpiece.
5. After the blade has penetrated through
the workpiece, guide the tool along your
cutting line to achieve the desired cut.
6. Release the trigger switch. Do not
remove the blade from the material
until the blade has completely stopped
moving.
NOTICE: To make plunge cutting easier,
use a heavy gauge blade and install the
blade with the teeth facing upward as
show in column B (FIG. 8).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
explosion, electric shock and property
damage, always check the work area for
hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water
pipes when making blind or plunge cut.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control
and serious injury, make sure that the
blade reaches maximum speed before
touching it to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not make plunge
cuts in metal materials.
1.BATTERY CHARGING
The battery is supplied partially charged. To
ensure full capacity of the battery, completely
charge the battery in the battery charger before
A fully discharged battery pack will charge
in 50 minutes for DB1850 in a surrounding
temperature between 32° F (0° C) and 104° F
(40° C).
1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack with the
correct charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply.
3. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with
the slot in the charger.
4. Slide the battery pack onto the charger .
5. The charger will communicate with the
battery pack to evaluate the condition of the
battery pack.
OPERATION
The saw can be used to cut metals, such
as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper. Be careful not to twist or
bend the saw blade. Do not force.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when
cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will
keep the blade cool, increase the cutting
action, and prolong blade life.
WARNING:
because normal sparking could ignite the
fumes.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in
position, and make the cut close to
the clamping point in order to minimize
vibration of the work being cut.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron,
clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and
cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich"
the material between pieces of
hardboard or plywood, and clamp
the layers together in order to reduce
vibration and tearing of the material.
OPERATION
6. The POWER BAR LED lights will cycle from
right to left during charging. This is part of the
normal charging operation.
7. After charging is complete, the green LED on
the charger will come on and the POWER BAR
LED lights will go displayed when the POWER
BAR button is pressed while the battery pack is
on the charger.
8. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the
charger, but it will not overcharge.
NOTE: For your convenience, the charger can
operate with most generators and inverters
rated at 300 watts or higher.
