PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirement specified on the product
nameplate.

2. Power switch

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start

operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.

3. Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.

4. Mounting the blade

This unit employs a detachable mechanism that
enables mounting and removal of saw blades without
the use of a wrench or other tools.

(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times

so that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord. (

Fig. 1

)

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and
the power cord unplugged to prevent any accident.
