Then pull the trigger switchagain to restart.If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. Inthis situation, let the battery cool before pulling thetrigger switch again.• Low battery voltage:The remaining battery capacity is too low and the toolwill not operate. In this situation, remove andrecharge the battery.Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 10)CAUTION:• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the leversecurely.Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and movethe base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, securethe base by tightening the lever.For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more thanone blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using propercut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerouskickback which can cause personal injury.
