Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery car-
tridge when you do not use it for more than six
months.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of con-
trol.
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordi-
nary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
Do not cut oversize workpiece.
Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade
will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
Hold the tool firmly.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
tool only when hand-held.
