TOOL ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Recharge only with
the charger specifi ed for the battery.

the operator's manual supplied with
your charger and battery. This tool is
not compatible with V™-technology or

Inserting/Removing Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack by sliding battery

WARNING
To reduce the risk
of injury, always remove battery pack
before changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specifi cally

be hazardous.
Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend
to overload the tool and increase the chance
of KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator
Prevention of KICKBACK"). Only use thin
kerf blades with a maximum safe operating
speed greater than the no load RPM marked
on the tool's nameplate. Read the blade
manufacturer's instructions before use. Do
not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or
dry diamond cutting blades.
