Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

ENC007-4
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
•
removal of the battery cartridge.
To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
•
the tool while sliding the button on the side of the
cartridge.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
•
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can
see the red part on the upper side of the button, it
is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red
part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
Do not use force when inserting the battery
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Adjusting depth of cut
Fig.2
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
•
lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and
move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut,
secure the base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting
Fig.3
Loosen the lever on the bebel scale plate on the front
base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting
accordingly, then tighten the lever securely.
Sighting
Fig.4
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
B position with it.
