(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit,
hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade
and take it out. (Fig. 7)
*4 How to use the Hook
The hook can be used to hang up the unit
temporarilyduring operations.
CAUTION
The hook should never be used to hang the unit on your
person.
When using the hook, check to make sure that the main
unit will not slip and fall, or become unstable by the wind,
etc.
Never hang the unit from your belt or trousers as this
could cause accidents.
SELECTION OF BLADES
To ensure maximum operating effi ciency and results, it is
very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to
the type and thickness of the material to be cut.
The blade number is engraved in the vicinity of the mounting
portion of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring
to Table 1-3.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the attachment
plug from the receptacle to avoid a serious accident.
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in
reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause overloading of
the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as
excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, it
has to be done by HiKOKI Authorized Service Center to
avoid a safety hazard.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
