OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always insert the battery cartridge
all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the
red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not
locked completely. Insert it 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:
Always hold the handle. Never
hold the tool body or guards. Hands may slip from
these locations and contact with the band saw blade.
It may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wheel cover is
closed securely.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hold the tool firmly
with both hands when turning on or off the tool or
when cutting. Otherwise the tool may fall and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves to protect
your hands from hot flying chips when cutting
metal.
CAUTION:
Keep your body and face away
from the band saw blade and flying chips.
For stable cut, always keep at least two teeth in the cut.
