Maintenance
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-
dreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical com-
ponents of this cordless saw are not user
serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.
Always store it in a dry place, preferably in
the case that is supplied.
The battery will require periodic recharg-
ing, and eventually replacement after it has
exceeded its recharge life (approximately
800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice
extended charging times or shortened
operation time as the battery experiences
more cycles. Battery must be recycled or
disposed or properly. Refer to the Grizzly

Disassembly and improper reassem-

Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use
sharp blades. Do not apply exces-
sive pressure to the saw while using.
If the speed drops abnormally,
decrease pressure immediately. If
the blade stops abruptly or becomes
locked, release the trigger at once.
Extract the blade and determine
what occured to cause this and recti-
fiy.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Insure the saw blade will not pass
through bench or saw horse that
workpiece may be on. Securely fix
smaller objects to be sawn, fastened
in a vise or otherwise clamp to avoid
injury. Do not attempt to hold work
piece by hand.
Avoid blade pinch. Saw blades may
become pinched while cutting a
workpiece that is improperly support-
ed, very thick workpieces or when
several workpieces are loosely
stacked. Know how to avoid these
situations to minimize risk of damage
to the saw, saw blade or personal
injury.
Inspect the saw before use. Run the saw
before using to ensure all parts are
running smoothly and there are no
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any
defect is found, have unit serviced.
Know your worksite. Only cut as deep as
necessary. Check behind walls for
for wires, other electrical hazards, or
plumbing.
Use accessories properly. Use the right
blade for the job. Be aware of blade
TPI necessary for the type and thick-
ness of the material. Use the appro-
priate blade speed- when in doubt
slow the blade speed.
