2. Dismounting the saw blade
Dismount the saw blade by reversing the mounting procedures described in paragraph 1 above.
The saw blade can easily be removed after lifting the safety cover.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to install saw blades larger than 12" (305mm) in diameter.
Always install saw blades that are 11-9/16" (293mm) to 12" (305mm) in diameters.
NOTE:
After using the 17mm wrench, store it in your tool box not to lose it.
TRANSPORTATION OF THE MAIN BODY
The vice assembly could be dropped during transportation. Either remove the
assembly or slip a piece of wood between the vice to fi rmly secure it.
Drop the head and insert the locking pin (see P. 10 "Releasing the locking pin").
Turn and loosen the side handle, turn the turntable as far right as it will go, and
secure the turntable by turning the handle to the fi xed position. This will make
the main body even more compact.
When transporting the main body, carry it in your arms, holding the grip located
on the base with both hands.
When transporting with two people, each person should use both their hands to
hold the carry handle, side handle and the base grip.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING:
To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confi rm that the trigger switch is turned
OFF and the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing
any maintenance or inspection of this tool.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the fi rst sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineff ective operation and
possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION:
Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand
pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate
the power tool.
