Your risk from these types of exposures varies depending on how often you do  
this type of work and what type of work you are doing. To reduce your risks,  
10. Unplug the charger from its power source when not in use.  
11. Do not touch the terminals inside the battery charger with any other metal  
object such as nails or coins.This can short the charger.  
• Work in a well-ventilated area.  
• Work with specially designed equipment and masks.  
12. Do not store the unit in areas where the temperature can exceed 120°F.  
13. Do not throw the battery or battery charger in fire.This can cause an  
explosion.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGER:  
1.This manual includes important safety instructions for the battery charger.  
Fully read all instructions and warning labels before using the battery or bat-  
tery charger.  
14. WARINING: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and may explode in the  
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of  
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of  
an open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If  
exposed, flush with water immediately for a minimum of 10 minutes and  
seek medical attention.  
2.To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, use ONLY the battery charger  
supplied with this unit to charge the battery(ies).  
3. Do NOT expose the battery or battery charger to rain or moisture.  
15. During extreme conditions, the battery may leak. This does not indicate a  
battery failure. However, if the liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash  
with soap and water, neutralize the area with a mild acid such as lemon  
juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean  
water immediately for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical  
attention.  
4. Use of any attachment not recommended in this manual may result in the risk  
of fire, electric shock or injury to a person and will void the warranty.  
5.To reduce the risk of damaging the battery charger power cord, be sure to pull  
the plug rather then the cord when disconnecting it from the power supply.  
Always position the cord so it will not be stepped on or tripped over.This will  
prevent damage to the cord.  
6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an  
improper extension cord can result in risk of fire or electric shock. If using an  
extension cord make sure that:

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum, trouble-free  
life. However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble  
battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries.  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: ChargingThe Battery  
To make your batteries last as long as possible, we suggest the following:  
THE BATTERY(IES) MAY NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FROM THE  
1. Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below  
normal room temperatures will shorten battery life.  
FACTORY. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO FIRST  
USE.  
2. Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately  
after they are discharged.  
The Saws covered by this manual use the same battery and battery charger.  
Your Saw comes complete with a rechargeable battery, we recommend that you  
fully charge before the first use.  
3. All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the  
quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time  
without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. Getting into this  
habit will prolong battery life.  
Your Saw must be charged for 3-8 hours prior to first use. After initial charge,  
allow approximately 3-8 hours to recharge your battery.  
Your battery should be recharged when the saw does not operate up to its  
normal performance level. Do not continue to operate the saw in this depleted  
capacity. Recharge the battery immediately.  
ABOUTYOUR SAW

Allen Wrench: (1) Allen Wrench (5mm hex key) is stored in your saw. This is  
needed to insert and/or change your saw blade.  
To install the saw blade (Figure 3 &4):  
1. FIRST REMOVE battery pack.  
Lock-Off Button: Your saw is equipped with a “lock off” button to help to  
eliminate the possibility of accidental starting. The Lock-Off button is located  
on the handle above the trigger switch. You must depress the lock-off button in  
order to activate the trigger switch. The lock resets each time the trigger switch  
is released.  
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from the saw could result in  
accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.  
2. Loosen the blade clamp screw enough to permit the saw blade to be inserted  
between blade clamp and the saw bar using the  
Allen Wrench.  
NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.  
Trigger Switch: To turn your saw ON, depress the lock-off button and press  
NOTE: It is never necessary to completely  
remove the blade clamp screw from the blade  
clamp when installing or removing the blade.  
the trigger switch. Release the trigger switch to turn your saw OFF.  
Variable Speed: Your saw has a variable speed switch that delivers higher  
speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of  
trigger switch depression.  
3. Align the hole in the shank of the blade and the  
blade clamp with the pin in the saw bar, firmly  
press the pin against the saw bar.  
Types of Application that are right for this saw:  
• Cutting all types of wood  
4.Tighten the blade clamp screw securely.  
• Cutting masonite and plastic  
5. Remove the Allen Wrench and store it in the  
body of the saw.  
• Cutting drywall  
6. Replace the battery pack.  
• Cutting metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass and copper.  
Note: There may be times when the blade clamp  
sticks to the saw bar and will not loosen enough  
to allow blades to be installed or removed. If this  
happens, loosen the blade clamp screw with the  
Allen Wrench, then tap lightly on the end of the  
Allen Wrench with a mallet.  
Blade Selection: To obtain the best performance from your saw it is important  
to select a specific blade for the particular application and type of material you  
wish to cut. By doing this you will get a smoother faster cut and prolong blade  
life. Replacement blades for this saw are available at your nearest dealer or by  
contacting us at the number below.  
THE ASSEMBLY OFTHIS SAW:  
THE OPERATION OFTHIS SAW:  
WARNING: Always wear eye protection while  
operating this tool.  
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from your saw when you are  
assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or removing blades,  
cleaning or when not in use. Removing the battery pack will prevent accidental  
starting that could cause serious personal injury.  
GENERAL CUTTING (Figure 5)  
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. Make sure the saw  
blade is clear of any foreign material. Do not use your hands or feet anywhere  
near the object to be cut. Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work  
pieces should be securely clamped in a vise or  
with clamps to the workbench or table. Make the  
line of cut clearly. Depress the lock-off button,  
then pull the trigger switch to start the cutting ac-  
tion. Place the base assembly against the object  
you are cutting. Then move the blade into the  
object you are cutting. Do not force. Use only  
enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let  
the blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive  
pressure that causes bending or twisting of the  
blade may result in broken blades.  
To remove/attach Battery Pack (Figure 2):  
To Remove:  
1. Locate latches on side of the battery pack and  
depress both sides to release battery pack from  
your saw.  
2. Remove the battery pack from your saw.

METAL CUTTING (Figure 7)  
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,  
aluminum, brass and copper may be cut with  
your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the  
saw blade. Do not force. We recommend  
cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and  
steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades cool,  
increase cutting action and prolong blade life.  
QUESTIONS?  
If you have any questions about this product, please contact our Customer  
Service Department at (888) 231-4022, 9 am to 5 pm EST, Monday through  
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of  
motor could ignite fumes. Clamp the work  
firmly and cut close to the clamping point to  
eliminate any vibration of the object being cut.  
When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp  
work in a vise if possible and cut close to the  
vise. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich”  
the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate  
vibration and material tearing.  
MAINTENANCE OFTHE SAW:  
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from your saw when you are  
assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or removing blades,  
cleaning or when not in use. Removing the battery pack will prevent accidental  
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
