saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece to be
cut or any surrounding objects.
Failure to do so may result in the main unit being
dropped and/or injury.
25. In order to prevent accidents, when taking a break
from operation or after operation, be sure to switch off
the power and remove the battery from the cordless
tool.
26. If the band saw blade locks up while cutting, promptly
