IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACKS

 

The battery packs are not fully charged when taken out of the carton!    First 

read the safety instructions below.  Then follow charging notes and 

procedures. 

 

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS 

1.

 

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is 

completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. 

2.

 

A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under 

extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. 

However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin: 

a.

 

Wash quickly with soap and water. 

b.

 

Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. 

c.

 

If battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a 

minimum of 2 minutes

 and seek immediate medical attention. 

(medical notes: the liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.) 

3.

 

Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing 

of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do 

not recharge. 

4.

 

Do not carry extra battery packs in pockets, or tool boxes along with other 

metal objects. Battery pack could be short circuited causing damage to the 

battery pack and possibly causing severe burns or fire. 

5.

 

Charge the battery packs only in chargers. 

6.

 

NOTE: review and observe all of the “IMPORTANT CHARGING 

NOTES” in the charger instruction section of this manual. 

7.

 

NOTE: the rechargeable batteries contain nickel-cadmium. Cadmium is 

considered to be a toxic material by the Environmental Protection Agency. 

Before disposing of damaged or worn out Nickel-Cadmium battery packs, 

check with your state Environmental Protection Agency to find out about 

special restrictions on the disposal of these battery packs or return them to a 

certified service center for recycling.

 

 

Changing the saw blade (See Fig.1) 

Remove the battery pack before carrying out any work on the machine. 

1.

 

Hold the work spindle still by pressing the spindle lock down and loosen 

the screw. Remove washer and clamping disc. 

2.

 

Swing swivel guard backwards, hold it still, and remove the saw blade from 

the clamping flange. 

3.

 

Fit the new saw blade by following the above steps in the reverse order. The 

arrow on the saw-blade must point in the same direction as the direction of 

rotation arrow. 

Adjusting the Guide-plate (See Fig. 2) 

11 

If a correction of the 90˚ angle of the guide-plate to the saw blade is necessary,
