immediate use when it is assembled at the factory,
be sure to check it out again for caution’s sake. A bolt
can be tightened when it is turned clockwise. Use the
provided wrench to check it out. For further details,
refer to the item of [PRIOR TO OPERATION] on
Page 16.
2. Check if the lever is tightened
If the cutting depth lever (Fig. 21) is loose, injury can
result. Make sure that it is tightened securely.
3. Switch operation (Fig. 25)

ff
button”
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the “trigger switch” is pulled in a state where “lock-

After the switch is on, the saw blade will continue to
operate as long as you pull on the trigger switch, even
