(1) Keep the bit separated from the workpieces and hold the
body fi rmly before switch is turned on. (Fig. 23)
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated
on the base ass'y). To obtain maximum cutting

LED LIGHT WARNING SIGNALS
(Fig. 29)
This product features functions that are designed to protect
the tool itself as well as the battery. When any of the
safeguard functions are triggered, any of the LED light will
blink as described in Table 3.
In this case, follow the instructions described under
corrective action.
NOTE
On occasion, about two seconds after stopping
operation of the tool, the LED light will shut off and the
power will switch OFF.
This means that either the power is near empty or that
the battery is overheated.
In such a case, allow the battery to cool and then
recharge it for use.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the bit
Continued use of a dull or damaged bit will result in
reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause overloading
of the motor. Replace the bit with a new one as soon as
excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

Table 3
Remove the cause of the overloading.
Allow the tool and battery to thoroughly cool.
5. Cleaning on the outside
WARNING
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask when cleaning
the fi lter with an air gun.
Failure to do so may result in inhalation or exposure of
the eyes to debris or dust.
Use an air gun or other similar tool to remove materials,
chips, etc. which have adhered to the body (especially
where indicated in Fig. 25), and wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
6. Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
