• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, the
trigger-lock button is provided.
To start the tool, press the trigger-lock button from B side
and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. After use, always press
in the trigger-lock button from A side.
Lighting up the lamp (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The lamp goes out just after releasing the trigger.
NOTICE:
• Do not apply impact to the lamp, which may cause
damage or shorted service time to it.
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
• Do not use thinner or gasoline to clean the lamp. Such
solvents may damage it.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
Installing or removing the blade
CAUTION:
• Oil on the blade can cause the blade to slip or come off
unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil with a cloth before
installing the blade.
• Always wear protective gloves when handling the
blade.
• Use caution when handling the blade to avoid cut by
the sharp edge of the blade teeth.
• Keep your body away from the blade area when
checking the blade movement.
• When turning the blade tightening lever clockwise to
release the tension on the blade, point the tool
downward because the blade may come off
unexpectedly.
To install the blade: (Fig. 5)
1. Turn the blade tightening lever clockwise until it stops
to loosen the wheel.
2. Match the direction of the arrows on the blade and on
the wheels.

3. Insert the non-serrated side of the blade into the upper
holder and lower holder. Make sure the blade in both
upper and lower holder touches to the bottom
bearings. (Fig. 6 & 7)
4. With pressing the middle part of the blade, position the
blade around one wheel. Moving the wheel to A side
makes it easier to do so. (Fig. 8)
5. Position the blade on another wheel similarly.
6. Position the edge of the blade on rubber tire.
7. Hold the blade in place and turn the blade-tightening
lever counterclockwise until it stops. This places
proper tension on the blade.
Make sure that the blade is correctly positioned around
the wheels.
Start and stop the tool two or three times to make sure
that the blade runs properly on the wheels.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Adjusting the stopper plate position
(Fig. 9)
In the ordinary operation, protrude the stopper plate to the
A side fully.
When the stopper plate strikes against the obstacles like a
wall or the like at the finishing of a cut, loosen two screws
and slide it to the B side in the figure.
After sliding the stopper plate, secure it by tightening two
screws firmly.
Hook (optional accessory) (Fig. 10)
Hook is useful for hanging the tool. Hang tool on a pipe
vice or other suitable, stable structure.
To install the hook, set the hook alongside the groove and
tighten it with two screws.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always hold front and rear handle. Never hold the
tool body or guards. Hands may slip from these
locations and contact blade. Contact with the blade
may result in personal injury.
• Make sure to hold the tool firmly when turning on or off
the tool or when cutting. Otherwise the tool may fall
and cause personal injury.
For stable cut, always keep at least two teeth in the cut.
(Fig. 11)
Select the proper cutting position for your workpiece by
referring to the figure. (Fig. 12)
Hold the tool with both hands as shown in the figure.
(Fig. 13)
Before turning on the tool, always make sure that the
stopper plate contacts the workpiece and the blade is
clear of the workpiece.
Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Gently lower the blade into the cut. The weight of the tool
or slightly pressing the tool will supply adequate pressure
for the cutting. Do not force the tool.
As you reach the end of a cut, release pressure and lift it
slightly so that it will not fall against the workpiece.
