manual abstract
When properly connected, red light will turn on. ¦ Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger will come on. This indicates charger is in control charge mode and should switch to fast charge mode within 5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode the red light will come on. If after a period of 15 minutes the yellow and green lights remain on, remove the battery pack, wait 1 minute and reinsert battery pack in charger. If the yellow and green lights continue to remain on an additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged and will not accept charge. ¦ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red light will turn off and the green light will turn on. ¦ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a completely discharged tool. ¦ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. ¦ Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature. ¦ When the batteries become fully charged, unplug your charger from power supply and remove the battery pack. Fig. 4 BATTERY CHARGER GREEN LIGHT "ON" INDICATES FULLY CHARGED YELLOW AND GREEN LIGHTS "ON" INDICATES CONTROL CHARGE OR POSSIBLE FAULTY BATTERY RED LIGHT "ON" INDICATES FAST CHARGING MODE Fig. 5 BATTERY PACK BATTERY CHARGER BATTERY PACK SHOWN ATTACHED TO CHARGER IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES When using your reciprocating saw continuously, the batteries in your battery pack become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. Note: This situation occurs when continuous use of your saw causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for electrical check. Page 9 Page 10 WARNING: Make sure blade does not touch work until motor reaches full speed, since this could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury. With saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward until tip of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates work, tilt saw until blade is perpendicular to the work. METAL CUTTING See Figure 8. GENERAL CUTTING See Figure 6. OPERATION Fig. 6 Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action. Place the base assembly against the work, then move the blade into the work. 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. PLUNGE CUTTING See Figure 7. Fig. 8 Fig. 7 Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the blade over that point. Rest front edge of base (shoe) assembly on work and hold firmly in position. Depress the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action. 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. 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 work 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 MAINTENANCE DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can damage tool as well as workpiece. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that may damage, weaken, or...
