CAUTION
● When switching on the tool, make sure the band
saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
● For cutting effi ciency, switch the band saw blade
speed according to operating conditions and
workpiece to be cut.
● Do not apply any unnecessary pressure when
operating the tool. Doing so may damage the
band saw blade.
● After use, be sure not to place the tool near chips
before it comes to a full stop as the tool may suck
in those particles.
OPERATION
WARNING
● Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off
and the battery removed to prevent any accident.
● During operation, do not place your face or
hands near the application tool of the unit.
CAUTION
● If the band saw blade is locked during cutting,
immediately turn off the switch and stop
operation.
● Hold the handle and front handle with both hands
when using the unit.
● If the unit will not be used over a long period of
time, remove the band saw blade from the unit
body and store it in an appropriate place.
If the band saw blade is left installed in the unit
body for a long period, the lifespan of the band
saw blade will become shorter.
NOTE
○ Select a band saw blade (the band saw blade's teeth/
inch) and a band saw blade operating speed that is
suitable for properties and thickness of the workpiece
to be cut.
○ When using a new band saw blade, be sure to set
the band saw blade operating speed setting dial to
"1" and perform 1–2 warm-up cuts with a light cutting
load (while pulling slightly upward on the product) on
an object with an outer diameter of 3/4" or less such
as cylindrical rod (carbon steel).
Failure to perform warm-up cuts may result in nicks on
the blade edge and decreased cutting precision.
○ Do not cut thermoplastic material. It can melt from
cutting friction heat which can result in the band saw
blade becoming wedged in the material, causing the
motor to lock up.
○ Do not cut hard materials such as hardened steel.
○ If there is a gap between the guide plate and the
workpiece, the piece may erratically shift position and
cause breakage to the band saw blade.
20
○ Do not apply excessive loads to the band saw blade.
○ When the workpiece is thin (0.08" thick or less), cut
with the tool slightly raised up.
○ About continuous operation
This tool is equipped with a temperature protection
circuit for safeguarding the motor as well as the
electronic motor drive control components.
If the tool is operated continuously, the temperature
of the unit may rise and activate the temperature
protection circuit, automatically stopping operation. If
this happens, allow the machine to suffi ciently cool.
Once the temperature has decreased, the tool is
ready to be used again.
In the event the storage battery is changed during
continuous operation, allow the cordless tool to rest
for about 15 minutes before resuming use.
If operation is resumed soon after the battery is
changed, the temperatures of the motor, switch, etc.
will become high and may result in malfunction or
damage.
○ About holding the unit and applying force
Hold the tool securely with both hands.
When holding the unit, make sure the band saw blade
is perpendicular to the workpiece.
Additionally, there is no need to push the unit with any
excessive force.
Be aware that applying any excessive prying or
pressing force to the tool may result in the unit's
malfunction or damage.
For stable cut, always keep at least two teeth in the cut.
