(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the Table 3, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Table 3

Rechargeable batteries	Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged
BSL36B18	32^ - 122^ (0^ - 50^)

(3) Regarding recharging time (At 68°F (20°C))

Table 4 Charging time

Battery\Charger	UC18YSL3
BSL36B18 Approx. 52 min.

NOTE

The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature.

4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION

Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.

Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.

Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the battery charger after use, and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

- When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

- If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.

- When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

CAUTION

Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.

On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

WARNING

• Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
  ● Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.

• Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the trigger switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position.
• Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
• Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation at once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting operation.

4. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)

① Pull forward ② Press down ③ Push backward Handle Workpiece

Fig. 32

(1)Workpieces up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) high and 11-1/2" (292 mm) wide:

Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 1), grip the handle and slide the saw blade forward.

Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade backward to cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 32. This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) in height and 11-1/2" (292 mm) in width.

(2) Workpieces up to 2-1/2" (64 mm) high and 12-1/2" (318 mm) wide:

Workpieces of up to 2-1/2" (64 mm) in height and up to 12-1/2" (318 mm) in width can be cut in the same manner as described in paragraph 4-(1) above on page 27.

CAUTION

- If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.

Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.

● In slide cutting, gently push the (rearwards) in a single, smooth operation.

Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece.

WARNING

● For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 32.

Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator.

● Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.

● Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to the miter lock handle when the motor head is lowered.

5. Bevel cutting procedures

WARNING

The sub fences must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fences will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.

33.9° Set pin (A)

Bevel lock handle
Fig. 33

(1) When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock handle.
(2) Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle while pulling the set pin (A), as shown on the bevel scale.
(3) The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45°. Tighten the bevel lock handle to lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.

NOTE

The saw comes with a 33.9° set pin (A) for setting h and I a back up crown moulding cuts when the angle of the walls equals 90°.

(4) Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of your cut.

Stop block (A) Stop plate (B) Stop block (B) Stop plate (A)

Fig. 34

NOTE

If 48^ left bevel is necessary, slide the bevel stop plate (A) clockwise away from the stop block (A) to achieve 48^ left bevel.

If 48^ right bevel is necessary, slide the bevel stop plate (B) counterclockwise away from the stop block (B) to achieve 48^ right bevel.

Also, use anchor plate. (see Fig. 24-b)

WARNING

When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.

When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.

Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

CAUTION

• If not tightened firmly enough the motor head might suddenly move or slip, causing injuries. Be sure to tighten the motor head section enough so it will not move.
  ● Always check that the bevel lock handle is secured and the motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the motor head, then the motor head might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.

• 33.9° Set pin (A) for crown mouldings (Fig. 33)

(1) Push the bevel set pin (A) in towards the rear of the machine.
(2) Loosen the bevel locking handle.
(3) Tilt the cutting head until the set pin (A) stops the bevel angle at 33.9^ on the bevel scale.
(4) Tighten the bevel locking handle to lock the cutting head in position. (see Fig. 33)

1. Miter cutting procedures

Fig. 35

(1) Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the miter lock handle.
(2) While pressing down on the positive stop lock button, grasp the miter lock handle and rotate the table left or right to the desired angle.
(3) Once the desired miter angle is achieved, release the positive stop lock button and press down on the miter lock handle to secure the table into position.
(4) If the desired miter angle is NOT one of the nine positive stops noted below, please see the Miter detent override button section on page 20.
(5) Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of your cut.

CAUTION

Always check that the miter lock handle is secured and the turntable is clamped.

If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the turntable, then the turntable might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.

NOTE

Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0^ center setting, at 15^ , 22.5^ , 31.6^ and 45^ settings. Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment will result in poor cutting precision.

8. Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 5 to 7 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 11.

CAUTION

Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw backwards with the left hand.

It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the workpiece.

In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) left bevel, extend the sub-fence (B) fully before cutting operation.

In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right bevel, extend the sub-fence (A) fully before cutting operation.

Please confi rm that sub fence (A) (B) does no interfere with other parts before attempting compound cutting. If there is any interference, remove either sub fence (A) or (B).

9. Crown molding cutting procedures

Fig. 36 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.

For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 37.
