I . INTRODUCTION
This tool is a Multi Purpose Cutter. By changing
the blade, it can be used to cut wood, metal, and
plastic. Dust can be collected by an integrated
dust case or via a connected vacuum (by
attaching the hose to the tool).
DANGER
This product is a cutting tool, designed to cut
through metal and wood. It has a rotating blade
which is capable of cutting you deeply, causing
serious injury or death. As a result, please read
this manual and the cautionary markings on the
tool carefully, and obey all of the Safety Instruc-
tions to avoid such injury.
WARNING
To avoid injury, never insert your finger or any
other object into any opening of the tool.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
How to Use This Manual
• Please read this manual completely before
starting to cut with your tool. If you let someone
else use the tool, make sure they either read this
manual or are fully instructed in the proper use
and all safety precautions concerning the tool.
• Please keep this manual for future reference. It
contains important safety information that you
must follow to use the tool safely.
• This manual and product use the following signal
words:
NOTE
Notes provide additional information that you
should know about the tool.
CAUTION
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situ-
ation, which could result in minor or moderate
injury if not avoided. Cautions also alert you to
unsafe practices to be avoided.
WARNING
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion, which could result in serious injury or death
if not avoided.
DANGER
Danger indicates an imminent hazard which will
result in serious injury or death if not avoided.
Read “the Safety Instructions” booklet and
the following before using.
II . ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
Safety instructions for all
saws
DANGER
1) Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
2) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.

Read “the Safety Instructions” booklet
and the following before using.
EY45A2(EU).indb 11 2016-4-14 11:16:42

EN
3) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
work-piece.
4) Never hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. It is important to
support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
6) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
ac-curacy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
7) Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
Further safety instructions
for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kick-
back:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tight-
ly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls
and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly
back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
1) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
kick-back forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump back-
wards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
2) When blade is binding, or when interrupt-
ing a cut for any reason, release the trig-
ger and hold the saw motionless in the
material until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the work or pull the saw back-
ward while the blade is in motion or kick-
back may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kick-
back from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
4) Support large panels to minimize the risk
of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
5) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades pro-
duce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
6) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
7) Use extra caution when making a “plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for this
saw
1) Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
if lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

EN
2) Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-
up of debris.
3) Lower guard should be retracted manual-
ly only for special cuts such as “plunge
cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower
guard by retracting handle and as soon
as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
4) Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever
is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
5) Do not use any abrasive wheels.
6) Wear a dust mask, if the work causes
dust.
7) Use saw blades recommended by Manu-
facture.
8) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods.
9) The risk of kickback increases as the bat-
tery pack discharges.
10) Be sure to inspect material. Avoid cutting
other different material.
11) Be careful not to drop the tool.
12) Never swing the tool.
13) Never cover the ventilation slots, and keep
them free from dust or other material.
14) Do not clamp the tool in a vise. Never cut
with the tool held upside down in a vise.
This is extremely dangerous and can lead
to serious accidents.
15) Never wear knitted gloves.
16) Be sure no one is below when using the
tool in high locations.
17) Do not touch the blade immediately after
operation. It may be hot and could burn
your skin.
18) Do not touch material after it has been cut.
Cut material may be very hot.
19) Do not use cutting oil. This use of cutting
oil may cause a fire.
20) Do not cut workpieces covered or stained
with gas, oil, solvents, thinners, etc.
Exposure to these materials may damage
the transparent guard.
21) Do not remove the transparent and lower
guards. If the transparent and lower guards
is damaged or missing, return tool to
authorized service center for replacement.
22)Do not start the blade when in contact
with workpiece. Wait for blade to reach full
speed before beginning cut.

is released.
• The light illuminates with very low current, and it
does not adversely affect the performance of the
tool during use or its battery capacity.
CAUTION:
• The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the
small work area temporarily.
• Do not use it as a substitute for a regular flashlight,
since it does not have enough brightness.
Caution : DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance
of procedures other than those specied herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Control Panel
(1) (2)
(1) Overheat warning lamp [Fig.12]
Indicates operation has been halted due to motor
or battery overheating.
The overheating protection feature halts tool
operation to protect the battery pack in the event
of overheating. The overheat warning lamp on the
control panel flashes when this feature is active.
• If the overheating protection feature activates,
allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30
minutes). The tool is ready for use when the
overheat warning lamp goes out.
• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the
overheating protection feature to activate
repeatedly.
• If the tool is used in cold-temperature condi-
tions (such as during winter) or if it is frequently
stopped during use, the overheating protection
feature may not activate.
The performance of the EY9L42 de-teriorates
significantly at and below 10 °C due to work
conditions and other factors.
• The ambient temperature range is between
0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), the tool may
fail to function properly.
• When charging a cool battery pack (below 0 °C
(32 °F)) in a warm place, leave the battery
pack at the place and wait for more than one
hour to warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.

(2) Battery low warning lamp [Fig.13]
Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion
batteries shortens their service life dramatically.
The tool includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive discharging of
the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature activates imme-
diately before the battery loses its charge,
causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning lamp
flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery power
remaining, the tool may stop operating without
the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little battery power
remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack
should be charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden load during
use that causes the motor to lock up, the over-
discharge prevention sensor may be triggered,
and the battery low warning lamp may flash.
The lamp will stop flashing once you address
the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle
the trigger.
CAUTION:
The over-discharge protection function works
even when both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light are flashing.
• Charge the battery pack immediately as the
battery power is getting low.
• When charging a cool battery pack (below
0 °C (32 °F)) in a warm place, leave the battery
pack at the place and wait for more than one
hour to warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.
• Weaken and cut off the power applied as the
voltage of the battery is plummeting due to the
high load acting on the motor. Do not carry out
operations that will repeatedly cause the over-
discharge prevention function to be activated.
For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
lIt is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the tool firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
• Figure 14 shows proper cutting position.
• Note that hands are kept away from cutting
area.
• Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
• When cutting, do not try to hold the mate-
rial with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth
of the cut so that you only cut through the
workpiece, not through the supports. (See
Fig. 15)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not cor-
rectly supported. If you attempt to cut without
levelling and properly supporting the work-
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
kickback. (See Fig. 16)
• Don’t support the material away from the cut.
Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 25
mm (1") from the edge of the workpiece to
avoid injury or damage to the tool caused by
thin strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
• Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
•When making an incomplete cut or
cutting is interrupted, or blade is binding
or tool is stalling; release the power switch
immediately and hold the tool motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop.
•To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove
the tool from the work or pull the tool
backward while the blade is in motion. Make
sure the blade has come to a complete stop,
then remove tool from cut.
•To resume cutting, start tool, allow the blade
to reach full speed, reenter the cut slowly
and resume cutting.

[Battery Charger]
Charging
CAUTION:
1) If the temperature of the battery pack falls
approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging
will automatically stop to prevent degradation
of the battery.
2) The ambient temperature range is between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool
may fail to function properly.
3) Use the charger at temperatures between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F), and charge
the battery at a temperature similar to that of
the battery itself. (There should be no more
than a 15°C (59°F) difference between the
temperatures of the battery and the charging
location.)
4) When charging a cool battery pack (below
0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the
battery pack at the place and wait for more
than one hour to warm up the battery to the
level of the ambient temperature.
5) Cool down the charger when charging more
than two battery packs consecutively.
6) Do not insert your fingers into contact hole,
when holding charger or any other occasions.
1. Place the wider part of the shoe on the part
of the work piece which is solidly supported
(See Fig. 17), never on the section that will
fall off when the cut is made. (See Fig. 18)
Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of control.
Working carelessly can cause severe personal
injury.
2. Make sure the blade stops.
Even though your tool has a brake, before
setting the tool down, make sure the blade
has come to a complete stop and the lower
guard has closed.
3. Do not use if anything seem unusual.
Remove battery pack immediately.
