8" Cordless Trim Saw
Maintenance
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-
dreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical com-
ponents of this cordless trim saw are not
user serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.
Keep the trim saw free from dirt and
grease. Always store it in a dry place,
preferably in the case that is supplied.
The battery will require periodic recharg-
ing, and eventually replacement after it has
exceeded its recharge life (approximately
800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice
extended charging times or shortened
operation time as the battery experiences
more cycles. Refer to the Grizzly catalog
for replacement batteries.
OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Disassembly and improper reassem-
bly of this device can result in electri-
cal shock danger. Always have this
device serviced by an qualified elec-
trical repair technician. Serious injury
will result.
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the trim saw. Always
use sharp saw blades. Do not apply
excessive pressure to the trim saw
while using. If the speed drops
abnormally, decrease pressure
immediately. If the blade stops
abruptly or becomes jammed,
release the trigger at once.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
sawn in a vise or otherwise clamp to
avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold
workpiece by hand.
Inspect the trim saw before use. Run the
saw before using to ensure all parts
are running smoothly and there are
no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any
defect is found, have unit serviced.
Match your feed rate to the material.
Use a lower rate of feeding the saw
through the material when cutting
hard materials. In softer material
such as drywall or soft woods, you
can feed the saw faster.
Know your worksite. Only saw as deep
as necessary. Check behind walls
for for wires, other electrical hazards,
or plumbing.
