LED LIGHT FUNCTIONS
See Figure 1, page 9.
When a charged battery pack is installed in the tool, the LED
light will indicate the status of the battery when the tool is
powered on.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the tool is forced or the motor is overloaded, the tool
will automatically shut off. To reset the tool, wait 5 seconds
before depressing the switch trigger and lock out button to
resume operation. If the tool still does not resume opera-
tion, remove and reinsert the battery. Do not force the tool.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
This tool is equipped with a high temperature protection
feature that automatically deactivates the tool when it is
overheated. To resume operation, allow the tool to cool and
then turn the tool on.
STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figure 2, page 10.
 Grasp the handle with either your left or right hand.
 The switch trigger and the lock out button must be
depressed simultaneously to begin blade movement.
WARNING:
Do not place your hand near the blades. Placement of
your hand or fingers in this area could result in a shear
point injury.
 To stop blade movement, release the trigger.

CUTTING TIPS
 Do not force the tool through dense material. This can
cause the blades to dull and slow down. If the blades
slows down, reduce the pace.
 Only cut materials up to 1/4 in. thickness listed under
applications.
OPERATING THE POWER CUTTER
See Figure 3, page 10.
Learning to use the power cutter:
 Hold the tool in your hand and get used to its weight,
balance, and the taper of the housing.
 Practice on scrap materials first to see how the tool oper-
ates. Keep in mind that the work is done by the speed of
the tool. You should not lean on or push the tool into the
work.
To make a cut, pass the tool through the work as you would
a pair of scissors. For most work, a gentle touch is best; you
will have greater control, make fewer errors, and get the most
efficient work out of the tool.
For the best control in close work, grip the tool with an
overhand grip.
To operate the power cutter:
 Hold the tool in front and away from you.
 Turn on the tool and let the motor build up to full speed.
 Ease the tool into the workpiece.
 Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent pace.
 Use just enough pressure to keep the tool moving forward.
NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the tool's speed and
put a strain on the motor. The weight of the tool alone is
adequate for most jobs.
 Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning off
the tool.
