Cutting pipes, squares and channels
The saw blade is subjected to greater wear when the
areas A and B in figure F and figure G are cut. Place
a wooden block up against the workpiece as shown
in figure H and figure I so that the saw blade will enter
areas A and B at an angle. This will help to minimize the
shortening of the saw blade life.
The allowable cutting dimensions are reduced when
a wooden block is used. Use a wooden block whose
dimensions are equivalent to the maximum allowable
cutting dimensions minus the dimensions of the work-
piece to be cut. This will further minimize the shortening
of the saw blade life.

Carrying tool

Fold down the tool head to the position where you can
attach the chain to the hook on the handle. Grasp the
carrying grip when carrying the tool.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
Replacing saw blade
Continuing to use a dull and worn blade may cause motor
overload and decreased cutting efficiency. Replace with a
new blade as soon as it is no longer effective.
Replacing carbon brushes
► 1 . Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
