KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Don't expose power tools to rain.
Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
STORE IDLETOOLS. When notinuse, tools should be stored
in dry, and high
or locked-up place
- out of reach of children.
DON'T FORCETOOL.
It will dothejob better andsafer at the ratefor which
it was intended.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing orjewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering tocontain long hair.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is
dusty.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Nevercarry tool by cord or yank
it todisconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using
your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories. Inspecttool cords periodicallyand
if damaged, have repairedby autho-
rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
DISCONNECTTOOLS. When not
in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keysand adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-intoolwithfinger
on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.
16. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSIONCORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
17. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't operate
tool when you are tired.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of
moving parts, bindingof moving parts, breakageof parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized serv-
ice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere inthis instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don't use
tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, useonly identical replacementparts.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user
- as well as damage to
the tool.
If indoubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating
is harmful to the motor.

1. Do not charge Battery Cartridge when temperature is BELOW 10°C (5OOF)
2. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC
3. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the charger vents.
4. Do not short the battery cartridge. A battery short can cause a large current
flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
5. Do not store the tool and Battery Cartridge in locations where the tempera-
ture may reach or exceed 5OoC (122OF).

Installingor removingbattery cartridge
0 Always switch off the tool before insertion or removalof the battery cartridge.
0 To remove the battery cartridge, pullout
the
set plate on the tool and grasp both
sides of the cartridge while withdrawing
it
from the barrel.
0 To insert the battery cartridge, align the
tongue on the battery cartridge with the
groove in the housing and slip
it into
place. Snap the
set plate back intoplace.
Be sure to close the
set plate fully before
usingthe tool.
Battery cartridge
0 Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge.
If the cartridge does notslide ineasily,
it is not beinginserted correctly.
Charging
Plug the fast charger into your power
source. Insert the battery cartridge
so that
the plus and minus terminals on the bat-
tery cartridge are on the same sides
as thier
respective markings on the fast charger.
Insert the cartridge fully into the port
so
that it restson the charger portfloor.
The charging light will come on and charg-
ing will begin. If the charging light does
not come on, press the reset button. If the
charging light goes out within
10 seconds
even after pressing the reset button
a couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead.
(CAUTION
: Wait for more than 5 seconds after the charging light goes out to press the
reset button again.) Replace
it with a new one. When the charging light goes out after
about one hour, you may remove the fully charged battery cartridge.
After charging, unplugthe charger from the power source.
CAUTION
:
0 Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need tocharge it before use.
If you try to charge a cartridge from a just-operated tool, sometimes the charginglight
will not come on. If this occurs,
let the cartridge cool off for a while. Then re-insert it
and try tocharge it once more.
0 When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used
for
a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does
not indicate
a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it completely a couple of times.
0 If you wish tocharge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on the
fast charger.

Mounting blade
First, use the hex wrench to remove the
bolt which secures the blade clamp to the
blade holder shaft. With the blade teeth
facing forward, place the shank of the
blade over the flat side of the blade holder
shaft. Then place the blade clamp over the
other side
of the blade shank. Secure this
assembly together with bolt. Make sure
that the bolt passes through the larger hole
inthe blade shank.
Using roller
With the hex wrench loosen the boltwhich
holds the base and retainer. Slide the re-
tainer
so that the roller contactsthe blade,
then tighten the bolt.

can cause switch breakage.
Operation
Turn the tool on before contacting the
workpiece. Then rest the base flat on the
workpiece and gently move the tool for-
ward along the previously marked cutting
line.
Plunge cutting
Starting
a cut at other than the edge of the
workpiece without first drilling
a starting
hole requires
a "plunge cut." This can be
accomplished by tipping the tool forward
until the front end of the base rests against
the workpiece. Switchthetoolonand lower
the back end of the tool slowly, gradually
allowing the bladetosaw throughthe wood
until the base
is able to sit flat on thework-
piece. You may then proceed forward with
the cut in
a normal manner.
If using
a drill for a starting hole, bore a hole over 12 mm (1/2") indiameter. Then insert
the blade in
it and proceed.
8

Front flush cuts
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base
with the hex wrench, then slide the base
backwards. Check the contact betweenthe
back edge
of the blade and support roller,
then secure the bolt.
Bevel cutting
1. With the base tilted, you can make bevel
cuts
at any angle between 0" and 45'
(leftor right).

Finishingedges
To trim edges or make dimensional adjust-
ments, run the blade lightly along the cut
edges.
For smoother cuttingof plywoodsor other
materials with easily splintered surfaces,
the wood may be coated or transparent
tape used over your cutting line.
Usingguide rule (Ripfence)
When cutting widths of under 150mm(6")
repeatedly, use of the guide rule will assure
fast, clean cuts.
Attaching guide rule (Ripfence)
To attach the guide rule (ripfence), secure
the rule holder to the base with the hex
screw (do nottighten).
Insert the guide rule between the base and
the rule holder. Nowtighten the hex screw
with the hex wrench.
