(*1) About the mode select function
Each time the mode selector switch is pushed, the
operation mode changes.
When Silent mode is selected, the Silent mode indicator
lamp lights up.
Silent mode reduces maximum motor RPM enabling
e
ffi
cient work with less noise.
If the load increases while the motor is operating in
Silent mode, it automatically changes to Power mode.
Additionally, if the load decreases again, it automatically
returns to Silent mode.
In Power mode, no change is made to Silent mode even
when the load decreases.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of as dull saw blade will degrade e
ffi
ciency
and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
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. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer of this agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
5. Maintenance of lower guard
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean. The lower guard must
always be able to more freely and retract automatically.
Therefore, always keep the area around the lower guard
clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out with
compressed air or with a brush.
6. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
7. Storage

storage of products and accessories that are not being
used, and store them in a safe and dry place.
