CAUTION:
•
Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure
to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
•
Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
•
Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
•
Use only B type blades. Using blades other than B
type blades causes insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt counterclockwise on
the blade holder with the hex wrench.
With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into
the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the
back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Then tighten the
bolt clockwise to secure the blade.
