FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 2)
Some D
EWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of
three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the
battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (R). A
combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the
level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the
usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need
to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the
battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature and end-user
application.
For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please call

Removing and Installing Blades
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Cut Hazard. Blade tension lever is under spring
pressure. Maintain control of lever when releasing blade tension.
TO REMOVE BLADE (FIG. 2, 3)
1. Rotate the blade tension lever (I) clockwise until it stops to
release tension in blade (refer to Figure 2).
2. Turn the saw over and place it on a workbench or table with the
battery to the right (refer to Figure 3).
3. Begin removing the blade at the upper portion of the blade
guard (M) and continue around the pulleys (L). When removing
the blade, tension may be released and the blade may spring
free. SAW BLADES ARE SHARP. USE CARE IN HANDLING
THEM.
4. Inspect the guide rollers (G) and remove any large chips which
may be lodged in them. Lodged chips can prevent rotation of
the guide rollers and cause fl at spots on the guide rollers.
5. Rubber tires (N) are mounted on the pulleys (L). The rubber
tires should be inspected for looseness or damage when
changing the blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber tires on
the pulleys. This will extend tire life and keep the blade from
slipping. If any looseness or damage occurs, the tool should
be brought to an authorized D
EWALT service center for repair
or replacement as soon as possible. Continued use of the tool
with loose or damaged rubber tires will cause unstable travel
of the band saw blade.
