OPERATION WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. D) NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery pack 3 into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.

The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed, and will automatically turn off 20 seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will remain on. NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Fig. E 1 2 English Changing Blades (Fig. F, G, H) WARNING: Remove battery from tool before changing blades. To install the Blade (Fig. F, G, H) 1. Retract the lower blade guard 7 using the lower blade retracting lever 6 and place the blade on the saw spindle against the inner clamp washer, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction (the direction of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must point in the same direction as the direction of rotation arrow on the lower blade guard). Do not assume that the printing on the blade will always be facing you when properly installed. When retracting the lower blade guard to install the blade, check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard to assure that it is working properly. Make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. 2. Place outer clamp washer 16 on saw spindle with the large flat surface against the blade with beveled side facing out. 3. Thread blade clamping screw 8 into saw spindle by hand (screw has right-hand threads and must be turned clockwise to tighten). 4. Depress the blade lock button 11 while turning the saw spindle with the blade wrench ( 14 , Fig. G, H) until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating. 5. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the blade wrench. NOTE: Never engage the blade lock while saw is running, or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn the saw on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result. 9
