► Fig.1: 1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. Battery cartridge
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn
the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool
to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. In this case, let the
tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this case, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator
► Fig.2: 1. Indicator lamps 2. Check button
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
light up for a few seconds.

NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly

Selecting the cutting action
► Fig.3: 1. Cutting action changing lever
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight
line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting
action thrusts the jig saw blade forward on the cutting
stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position. Refer
to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.
