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.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, re-tighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
3. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
5. Inspecting the lower guard for proper operation
Before each use of the tool, test the lower guard (Fig. 5)
to assure that it is in good condition and that it moves
smoothly.
Never use the tool unless the lower guard operates
properly and it is in good mechanical condition.
6. Storage
After operation of the tool has been completed, check
that the following has been performed:
(1) Trigger switch is in OFF position,
(2) Battery has been removed from the power tool,
When the tool is not in use, keep it stored in a dry place
below 40°C and out of the reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
7. Replacement of guard
After long-term use, the blade slot in the guard may
widen and require replacement. If the blade slot should
widen, replace the guard with a new one (Fig. 16). After
replacing, make a groove on it.
8. Lubrication
Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month
to keep the power tool in good operating condition for a
long time.
Use of machine oil is recommended.
Oil supply points:
* Rotary portion of hinge
* Rotary portion of holder (A)
* Rotary portion of vise assembly
9. Cleaning
Periodically remove chips and other waste material
from the surface of the power tool with a damp, soapy
cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it from
contact with oil or water.
If the laser line becomes invisible due to chips and the
like adhered onto the window of the laser marker's light-
emitting section, wipe and clean the window with a dry
cloth or a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, etc.
Clean the machine, duct, lower guard, by blowing with
dry air from an air gun or other tool. (Fig. 38)
