cutting metal.
• Always use a suitable coolant (cut-
ting oil) when cutting metal. Fail-
ure to do so will cause premature
blade wear.
• If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery pack has dis-
charged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with
a fresh battery pack.
Press the shoe firmly against the
workpiece. Do not allow the tool to
bounce. Bring the blade into light con-
tact with the workpiece. First, make
a pilot groove, using a slower speed.
Then use a faster speed to continue
cutting.
For Appropriate use of
Battery pack
Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9251)
Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before
storage in order to ensure a longer ser-
vice life.
The ambient temperature range is be-
tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly. In that case, charge the bat-
tery until charging is completed for ap-
propriate functioning of the battery.
When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
When operating with a Ni-MH battery
pack, make sure the place is well-
ventilated.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If operation time becomes
extremely short after recharging,
replace the battery pack with a new one.
NOTE:
Use under extremely hot or cold
conditions will reduce operating
capacity per charge.
Charging
NOTE:
When you charge the battery pack for
the first time, or after prolonged stor-
age, charge it for about 24 hours to
bring the batteries up to full capacity.
Battery charger (EY0110)
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the
plug is inserted into the AC power
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.

3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an inter
-
nal electronic switch will automatically
be triggered to prevent overcharging.
Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be lit
until the battery cools down. Charging
will then begin automatically.
