Assembly
Warning! Before assembly, remove the battery from the tool
and make sure that the saw blade has stopped. Used saw
blades may be hot.
Fitting and removing the saw blade (fig. B)
Hold the saw blade (10) with the teeth facing forward.
u
Lift the saw blade locking lever (3) upwards.
u
Insert the shank of the blade fully into the blade clamp (4)
u
as far as it will go.
Release the lever.
u
To remove the saw blade (10), lift the saw blade locking
u
lever (3) upwards and pull the blade out.
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. C)
To fit the battery (7), line it up with the receptacle on the
u
tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until
the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the release buttons (11) while
u
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Warning! Never use the tool when the saw shoe is loose or
removed.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenev-
er it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-
perature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (7), insert it into the charger (8).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (9) will blink.
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9)
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely. The LED will switch on as the
charger occasionally tops up the battery charge.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
(Original instructions)
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (9) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
Re-insert the battery (7).
u
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.
Switching on and off (fig. D & E)
To switch on, slide the lock off switch (2) to the left then
u
pull and hold the variable speed trigger switch (1).
To switch off, release the trigger switch (1).
u
Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load.
Warning! Always slide the lock off switch (2) to the right, the
locked position when the tool is not in use.
Variable speed control
The variable speed on/off switch offers a choice of speeds for
greatly improved cutting rates in various materials.
The speed is determined by the amount the trigger switch
u
(1) is pulled.
Bevel cutting (fig. F, G & H)
The shoe plate can be set to a left or right bevel angle of 45°.
To set the bevel angle:
Loosen the shoe retaining bolt (12) with the hex key
u
provided to unlock the shoe plate (5).
Slide the shoe plate (5) forward to release it from the 0°
u
detent.
Rotate the shoe plate to the desired bevel angle (fig. G).
u
Slide the shoe plate backwards to engage the left or right
u
detent.
Tighten the shoe retaining bolt (12) with the hex key
u
provided to lock the shoe plate (5) in the required position.
Note: The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right and
has detents at 45°.
