pressing the remaining battery indicator switch to light the
indicator lamp. (Fig. 50, Table 5)
The indicator will shut off approximately 3 seconds after
the remaining battery indicator switch is pressed.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
To avoid an accident or personal injury, always
confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF
and pull out the battery 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.
2. About Handling the Motor (see Fig. 1)
Winding of the motor is said to be the heart of this tool.
Exercise utmost caution not to damage the winding by
exposing it to wash oil or water.
NOTE
Accumulation of dust and the like inside the motor can
result in a malfunction.
After using the motor for 50 hours or so, carry out
no-load running, and blow in the dry air from a wind
hole at the motor's rear. Such action is eff ective to
discharge dust and the like.
