Dust box
CAUTION:
Do not touch saw dust and the
dust box with bare hands immediately after the
operation. They may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Do not cut the material on which
thinner, gasoline, grease, or other chemicals are
applied. The saw dust of such materials can damage
the dust box and result in breakage which can cause
personal injury.
CAUTION:

when emptying the dust box.
Saw dust is collected into the dust box. Periodically
dump the saw dust in the dust box before it gets full.
Push the lever on the dust box to open the lid. Dump
the saw dust while the rear of the tool faces downward.

fits into the circular saw blade hole perfectly.
Mounting the circular saw blade on the wrong side
can result in the dangerous vibration.

When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower guards of accumulated
metal chips as discussed in the Maintenance section.
