Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off the power to
extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically
stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
This protection works when the tool is operated in a
manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high cur-
rent. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the appli-
cation that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then
turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
This protection works when the tool or battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the tool and battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
This protection works when the remaining battery
capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.
Changing the die position

► 1. Die holder 2. Lock nut 3. Loosen 4. Wrench
The die holder position can be changed 360°. To
change it, proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the lock nut with the wrench provided.
2. Pull the die holder slightly and turn it to the desired
position for operation.
3. Tighten the lock nut to secure the die holder in the
desired position.
There are four positive stops at 90° each: 0°, 90° left
and right and 180°. To position the die to any of these
positive stops:
1. Loosen the lock nut with the wrench provided.
2. Pull the die holder slightly and depress lightly
while turning it to the desired position. The die
holder will lock into one of the positive stop posi-
tions as desired.
3. Turn the die holder slightly to make sure that it is
positively locked into position.
4. Tighten the lock nut to secure the die holder.

Permissible cutting thickness
► 1. Gauge for cutting stainless: 1.2 mm (3/64") 2. Gauge
for cutting mild steel: 1.6 mm (1/16") 3. Notch
The thickness of material to be cut depends upon the
tensile strength of the material itself. The groove on
the die holder acts as a thickness gauge for allowable
cutting thickness. Do not attempt to cut any material
which will not fit into this groove.
Cutting line
The notch in the die holder indicates your cutting line.
Its width is equal to the cutting width. Align the notch to
the cutting line on the workpiece when cutting.
Switch action
► 1. Slide switch
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the
tool, always check to see that the slide switch
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when the rear of the slide switch is
depressed.
• Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease
of operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I
(ON)" position. For continuous operation, press the
front of the slide switch to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.
