MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will
result in reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a
new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
CAUTION
If a dull saw blade is used, reactive force is
increased during cutting operation. Avoid the
use of the dull saw blade without repair.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened screws is
extremely dangerous.

Battery Remaining Power
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
diff erently depending on ambient temperature and battery
characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE
Do not give a strong shock to the display panel or
break it. It may lead to a trouble.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Resting the unit after continuous work
(1) The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor.
Continuous work may cause the temperature of the
unit to rise, activating the temperature protection
circuit and automatically stopping operation.
If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before
resuming use.
(2) After use for continuous works, rest the unit for
15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The
temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if
the work is started again immediately after battery
replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
3. 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.
4. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
5. 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.
