Operation
Power Bar
The Lithium-Ion battery pack features a POWER BAR to display remaining run time. Press the POWER BAR button to illuminate the LEDs for approximately 4 seconds. The POWER BAR can be used whether the battery is attached or removed from the tool.
Power Bar LED Indicators (Fig. 2):
- 4 LEDs: 80-100% Charge
- 3 LEDs: 60-79% Charge
- 2 LEDs: 40-59% Charge
- 1 LED: 20-39% Charge
- Flashing 1 LED: Under 10% Charge
- All LEDs off: Completely discharged
Low Capacity Warning
- If one LED on the POWER BAR begins to flash, the battery pack's charge is under 10% and requires recharging.
- Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power. Unlike older battery types, they do not gradually lose power. When the battery pack reaches the end of its run time, power to the tool will drop quickly. The POWER BAR will display four flashing LED lights when the battery is completely discharged. Remove the tool from the workpiece and charge the battery pack.
NOTE: Four flashing LED lights may also indicate an overload or high temperature situation (see SmartChip™ Battery Protection).
SmartChip™ Battery Protection
SmartChip™ circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperatures, over-discharge, and over-charge. It turns off the battery pack if overloaded or if the temperature exceeds 176°F (80°C). Normal operation resumes when the temperature returns to the 32°F (0°C) - 104°F (40°C) range.
A momentary overload is indicated by four flashing POWER BAR LEDs. You can reset the battery pack by pressing the POWER BAR button.
NOTE: If the POWER BAR continues to flash four LED lights after reset, place the battery pack on the charger to evaluate its condition (Fig. 4). A significantly reduced run time after a full charge indicates the battery pack is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
Cold Weather Operation
Optimal performance is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When very cold, the battery pack may "pulse" for the first minute to warm up. Use the tool in a light application to help it warm up.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
Lithium-Ion batteries can be charged at any time without developing a "memory." It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery before recharging. Use the POWER BAR to determine when to recharge. You can top off the charge before a big job or long period of use. Charge the battery pack as needed when power drops quickly.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
NOTE: The battery pack is shipped partially charged. Fully charge it before first use. A fully discharged battery pack at optimal temperature will charge in about 50 minutes. Charge only with the correct charger.
- Connect the charger to a power supply.
- Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the raised ribs with the slot and sliding it on (Fig. 3).
- The charger communicates with the battery pack's SmartChip™ circuitry to evaluate its condition.
- The POWER BAR LED lights will cycle from right to left during charging.
- After charging is complete, the green LED on the charger will illuminate, and the POWER BAR LEDs will turn off. The POWER BAR LEDs will not display when the button is pressed while the battery is on the charger.
The battery pack will fully charge but will not overcharge if left on the charger.
NOTE: The charger can operate with most generators and inverters rated at 300 watts or higher.

- Clearly mark the line of cut.
- Push the lock-off button to the left, then depress the trigger switch to start cutting.
- Place the base assembly (shoe) against the work, then move the blade into the work.
- Do not force the saw. Use only enough pressure to keep it cutting. Excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may result in broken blades.
Plunge Cutting
- Clearly mark the line of cut.
- Choose a convenient starting point inside the area to be cut out, and place the tip of the blade above that point.
- Rest the front edge of the base assembly (shoe) on the workpiece and hold it firmly.
- Push the lock-off button to the left, then depress the trigger switch to start cutting.
- With the saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt the saw downward until the tip of the blade starts cutting the workpiece.
- After the blade penetrates the workpiece, tilt the saw until the blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.
Metal Cutting
Metals like sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass, and copper can be cut. Be careful not to twist or bend the blade. Do not force. Use of cutting oil is recommended for soft metals and steel to keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Never use gasoline, as sparking could ignite fumes.
Securely clamp the workpiece, and make the cut close to the clamping point to minimize vibration. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. For thin sheet material, "sandwich" it between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and tearing.
