WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
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, dust, oil, grease, etc.
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 can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
BATTERIES
Your saw's battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each
charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your tool for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery life.
