time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem. You can
recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it
completely and recharging a couple of times.

When you charge a battery cartridge from a just
operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left
in a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long
time, let it cool off. Then re-insert it and try to charge it
once more.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:

After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
clamping screw securely.

Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move the
base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the
base by tightening the clamping screw.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut
depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS
which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the clamping screws on the depth guide and on the
bevel scale plate on the front of the base. Set for the desired
angle (0

° - 45°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamp-

ing screws securely.

Sighting

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base
with your cutting line. For 45

° bevel cuts, align the B position

with it.
