When mounting the saw blade, confi rm that the rotation indicator
mark on the saw blade and the rotation direction of the spindbe
cover (see Fig. 1) are properly matched.
* A dust guide is installed inside behind the hinge.
When removing or installing the saw blade, do not make contact
with the dust guide. Contact may break or chip saw blade tips.
* Confi rm that the spindle lock has returned to the retract position
after installing or removing the saw blade.
* Tighten the 10 mm bolt so it does not come loose during
operation.
Confi rm the 10 mm bolt has been properly tightened before the
power tool is started.
Never attempt to install saw blades larger than 12" (305 mm) in
diameter.
Always install saw blades that are 12" (305 mm) in diameter or
less.
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.
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.
