OPERATION
CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback,possiblycausingsevereinjury.
CAUTION: Never approach any part of your
body under the tool base when section cutting,
especially at starting. Doing so may cause seri-
ous personal injuries.Thebladeisexposedunder
the tool base.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low,thetoolmaynotworktoitsfullcapacity.Atthis
time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
asroomtemperature.Then,thetoolcanworktoits
full capacity.
Section cutting (ordinary sawing)
Holdthetoolrmly.Thetoolisprovidedwithbothafront

full speed. Now press down the saw head slowly to the
preset depth of cut and simply move the tool forward

your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn
or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind
the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback
andpossibleseriousinjury.Releasetheswitch,wait
for the circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw
the tool. Realign the tool on new cut line, and start
