Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions.
Overload protection
When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
automatically stops. In this situation, turn the tool off
and stop the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this situation, let the tool cool down
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the batteries
from the tool and charge the batteries.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
light up for a few seconds.

Automatic speed change function
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker cut-
ting operation. When the work load is high, the tool will run
in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting operation.
Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide 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 danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
After adjusting the bevel angle,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever and set for the desired angle by tilting
accordingly, then tighten the lever securely.
► Fig.10: 1. Lever
Positive stopper
The positive stopper is useful for setting the designated angle
quickly. Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
your desired bevel angle (around 22.5°/45°/53°). Loosen the
lever and then tilt the tool base until it stops. The position
where the tool base stops is the angle you set with the positive
stopper. Tighten the lever with the tool base at this position.

Sighting
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the base with
your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the 45° position with it.
