Before Using the Tool

This tool is intended to cut unhardened ferrous
metal, nonferrous metal, and wood. Refer to the
"Accessories" section for a list of blades to use for the
proper applications of this tool.
• Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a
time.
• Do not cut hardened steel.
• Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe
over the clamped side of the material.
• Do not touch the saw blade, work piece, or cutting
chips with bare hands immediately after cutting;
they may be hot and could burn skin.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury or property damage.
Each time the tool is used, make sure it is in good
operating condition.
Use the following checklist:
1. Is the blade installed in the correct direction? The
arrow on the blade must point in the same direc-
tion as the arrow on the upper blade cover.
2. Is the blade installed properly? Make sure the hex
bolt is tightened securely (Fig. 3).
3. Does the blade look all right? Replace the blade
immediately if there are any cracks in it or if any
teeth are broken.
4. Does the lower guard close properly?
To avoid injury, do not use the tool if the lower guard
does not close quickly over the blade.
5. Is the transparent guard securely installed?
6. Is the battery pack charged and inserted firmly
into the tool?
7. Is the depth adjustment nut for cutting securely
tightened?
8. Is the work piece securely clamped onto a saw-
horse or bench?
9. Is the dust case or front cover clogged with dust?
Removing Dust
Disengage the front cover lock button and remove any
dust that has become clogged inside the cover. If the
cover is clogged, use a long object such as a manual
screwdriver to unclog it. After doing so, close the front
cover (Fig. 1).
