CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should

Cleaning the tool

Clean the tool by wiping off dust with a dry cloth or one
dipped in soapy water and wrung out.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.

Blade maintenance

Before the operation or once per hour during operation,
apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-type lubri-
cating oil) to the blades.
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the
blades with a wired brush, wipe it off with a cloth and
then apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-type
lubricating oil) to the blades.
NOTICE:
Do not wash the blades in water. Doing
so may cause rust or damage to the tool.
