● Should the saw blade be stopped or make an
abnormal noise during operation, turn off the
switch immediately.
● Always wear eye protection with side shields
that meets the requirements of ANSI Standard
Z87.1.
Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate
protection.
● Avoid cutting any material like metal, etc., that
give off sparks.
CAUTION
● To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
● Before use, check to see if the lock-off button
moves smoothly.
● Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is
locked, immediately turn the power off. If the
motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery
may be burnt.
