SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR SABRE SAW

o Position your body to either side of the saw blade and not in direct line

with the saw blade.

oDo not reach under the work piece. The blade extends under the work

piece when the saw is cutting.

o Do not touch the blade or the work piece immediately after operation;

they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

Do not cut an oversized work piece.

o Check for the proper clearance under the work piece before cutting, so that

the blade will not strike the workbench or material under the work piece.

Make sure that the blade is not contacting the work piece before the

switch is turned on.

Secure material before cutting. Never hold a work piece in your hand or

across your legs. Small or thin material rnay flex or vibrate with the blade,

causing loss of control.

Low capacity warning

If one LED on the POWER BAR begins to flash, the batten/pack's charge is

under I0% capacity and should be recharged,

Unlike other battery-pack types, Lithium-ton battery packs deliver fade-free

power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual

loss of power as you work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of its

run time and needs to be charged, power to the tool will drop quickly. The

POWER BAR will begin to display four flashing LED lights when the battery

is completely discharged. When this happens, remove the tool from the work

piece, and charge the battery pack as needed°

NOTE: The POWER BAR may also display four flashing LED lights due to an

overload or high temperature situation (see SmartChip TM Battery protection),

28127 ManuaLRevised_07-0320 Page 14

SmartChip TM BATIERY PROTECTION

SmartChip TM intuitive circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme tempera-

ture, over-discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and

to prolong its life, the batten./pack's SmartChip TM circuitry will turn off the battery

pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use°

This may happen in extremely high torque, binding, and stalling situations. This

intelligent system wilt shut down your battery pack if its operating temperature

exceeds 176°F (80°C) and will begin normal operation when it returns to 32°F

(0oc) - I04OF (40°C)_

The POWER BAR will display four flashing LED lights if the SmartChip TM cir-

cuitry detects a momentary overload. You can conveniently reset the battery

pack by pressing the POWER BAR button. Press the POWER BAR button

again to display the remaining charge_

NOTE: if the POWER BAR continues to flash four LED lights after being reset,

place the batter,/pack on the charger to evaluate the battery condition (see Fig. 4).

NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the batter,i pack indi-

cates that the batter,/pack is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

This Lithium-lon battery pack will provide optimal performance in tempera-

tures between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C), When the battery pack is very

cold, it may "pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself up. Put the

battery pack on a too! and use the tool in a light application° After about a

minute, the battery pack wilt have warmed itself Lip and will operate normally.

WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK

The Lithium-!on battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a

"memory" when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run

down the battery pack charge before recharging, Remove the battery pack from

the toot when convenient for you and your job.

Use the POWER BAR to determine when you need to recharge the battery pack.

You can add to your battery pack's charge before starting a big job or long

period of use.

Due to Lithiumqon's fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to

charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end

of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly,

Charge the battery pack as needed,

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK

NOTE: This Lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged, Before using it

the first time, fully charge the battery pack°

A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 320F (0°C) and 104°F

(40°C) will charge in about 50 minutes.
