(2) Battery low warning lamp [Fig.13]
EN
Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion
batteries shortens their service life dramatically.
The tool includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive discharging of
the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature activates imme-
diately before the battery loses its charge,
causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning lamp
flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery power
remaining, the tool may stop operating without
the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little battery power
remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack
should be charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden load during
use that causes the motor to lock up, the over-
discharge prevention sensor may be triggered,
and the battery low warning lamp may flash.
The lamp will stop flashing once you address
the cause of the motor's locking up and cycle
the trigger.
CAUTION:
The over-discharge protection function works
even when both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light are flashing.
• Charge the battery pack immediately as the
battery power is getting low.
• When charging a cool battery pack (below
0 °C (32 °F)) in a warm place, leave the battery
pack at the place and wait for more than one
hour to warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.
• Weaken and cut off the power applied as the
voltage of the battery is plummeting due to the
high load acting on the motor. Do not carry out
operations that will repeatedly cause the over-
discharge prevention function to be activated.
For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
l It is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the tool firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
• Figure 14 shows proper cutting position.
• Note that hands are kept away from cutting
area.
• Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
• When cutting, do not try to hold the mate-
rial with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth
of the cut so that you only cut through the
workpiece, not through the supports. (See
Fig. 15)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not cor-
rectly supported. If you attempt to cut without
levelling and properly supporting the work-
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
kickback. (See Fig. 16)
• Don't support the material away from the cut.
Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 25
mm (1") from the edge of the workpiece to
avoid injury or damage to the tool caused by
thin strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
• Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
• When making an incomplete cut or
cutting is interrupted, or blade is binding
or tool is stalling; release the power switch
immediately and hold the tool motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop.
• To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove
the tool from the work or pull the tool
backward while the blade is in motion. Make
sure the blade has come to a complete stop,
then remove tool from cut.
• To resume cutting, start tool, allow the blade
to reach full speed, reenter the cut slowly
and resume cutting.
