If 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, the charging
light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the
battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery
cartridge from the high capacity battery charger.
If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color,
a
problem exists and
charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged
with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after
full charge, the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode
and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
Tips
for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2. Never recharge
a
fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F)
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
Adjusting shoe
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency
in one place along its cutting edge, reposi-
tion the shoe to unitize a sharp, unused por-
tion of its cutting edge. This will help to
lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition
the shoe, loosen the lever and slide the
shoe forward or back to the desired posi-
tion. Then tighten the lever to firmly secure
the shoe.

Switch action
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch
trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button (from right side or left side) and pull the
switch trigger.
