WARNING
EN
• Fix the workpiece firmly.
• Be sure to attach the saw blade cover.
CAUTION:
• Attach only after checking for
abnormalities such as splinters and
fissures on the saw blade.
• Wipe away any debris or dirt attached to
the saw blade rotation roller. Fitting an
oiled or greased saw blade to the saw
blade restraining bearing can cause the
saw blade to slip or come loose.
• When attaching a saw blade, avoid
twisting or folding at the join on the saw
blade.
• Keep your face away when exchanging a
saw blade as the saw blade can jump
out suddenly.
<Identifying an expired saw blade>
• A ruptured saw blade will not rotate
easily.
(Rotation may be accompanied by a
noise)
• A worm blade edge may lead to slower
cutting times.
These phenomena are indications that
the saw blade requires exchange.
Using the hook
The hook is intended for hanging on
stepladders, etc. and should not be used
to hang at your side on a belt. If the hook
is not required, the screw can be loosened
to remove it.
WARNING
• Do not hang the hook at your side such
as on a belt.
• Check that the hook is not unstable and
the screw is not loose.
Example of Use
Rubber belt inspection
A rubber belt is attached to the outer rim of
the saw blade rotation roller (inlay type).
Be sure to check the rubber belt for
tightness and damage whenever
exchanging the saw blade.
A loose or damaged rubber belt may
cause the saw blade to run unevenly or
jump out, so be sure to contact your
retailer in this event. [Fig.12]
WARNING
Periodically remove any debris from the
rubber belt.
Failure to do so may cause the saw
blade to slip or be unable to cut.
