Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
1.
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
2.
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
3.
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

INSTALLATION

Bench mounting
► Fig.2: 1. Stopper pin
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the
lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stop-
per pin by simultaneously applying a slight downward
pressure on the handle and pulling the stopper pin.
WARNING:
• Ensure that the tool will not move on the
supporting surface. Movement of the miter
saw on the supporting surface while cutting may
result in loss of control and serious personal
injury.
► Fig.3: 1. Bolt
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
► Fig.4: 1. Adjusting bolt
Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise or counterclockwise
so that it comes into a contact with the floor surface to
keep the tool stable.
Installing the holders and holder
assemblies
NOTE: In some countries, the holders and holder
assemblies may not be included in the tool package
as standard accessory.
The holders and the holder assemblies support work-
pieces horizontally.
Tighten the fence shafts to the holder assemblies using
the hex wrench.

Install the holders and the holder assemblies on both
side as shown in the figure. When installing, make sure
that the fence shaft is in the same line of the guide
fence when installed to the tool.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and the battery cartridge is removed before
adjusting or checking the functions on the
tool. Failure to switch off and remove the bat-
tery cartridge may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION:
Always switch off the tool before
installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
CAUTION:
Hold the tool and the battery car-
tridge firmly when installing or removing battery
cartridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery
cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands
and result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge
and a personal injury.
► Fig.7: 1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. Battery cartridge
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system (Lithium-
ion battery with star marking)
► Fig.8: 1. Star marking
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically
cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger switch on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
trigger switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pulling the trigger switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
