Additional Safety

1.Remove battery pack before changing blade, adjusting or ser- vicing trim saw.

2.Keep guards in place and main- tained in good working order. Never secure blade guard open. Do not use trim saw if blade does not return so that blade is completely covered.

3.Keep hands away from cutting

area. Never reach under workpiece while blade is in motion.

4.Know how to avoid kick-back. Kick-back occurs when blade begins to stall causing the saw to be propelled at the operator.

5.Never saw into a wall or work- piece without first determining if obstructions exist. Look for nails, plumb- ing and electrical wires before starting.

1.Read all instructions and warn- ings on the battery and charger before charging the battery.

2.Charge only using the supplied charger and battery. Do not use with other batteries, chargers or trim saws.

3.Do not expose battery or charger to wet or rainy conditions. Moisture greatly increases the risk of a shock hazard.

4.Do not touch battery poles with any conductive materials. Touching any two poles at the same time causes a short condition and can cause sparks or electrical shock.

5.Do not store battery with conduc- tive materials. Storing the battery in a box of screws or nails can cause shorting across the battery poles.

6.Do not throw battery in fire. Combustion of some of the batter- ies’ component materials can cause toxic fumes and possible explosion.

7.If charger light fails to come on check the incoming power supply. If power source is okay, then the fuse inside the charger needs replace- ment. Charger should be serviced by a qualified electrical technician only.

8.Charger plug has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). Do not attempt to modify the plug. Modifying the plug will result in a safety hazard and will void the warranty.

9.Charger is designed to operate at 110-120 volts. Never try to plug into any circuit that is not 110-120 volts. Never modify or change the plug that is attached to the charger unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt. This can cause serious electrical damage to the unit, possible fire or explosion.
