SELECTION OF BLADES
To ensure maximum operating e
ffi
ciency and results, it is
very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to
the type and thickness of the material to be cut.
The blade number is engraved in the vicinity of the mounting
portion of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring
to
Table 4-5
.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to turned o
ff
the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in
reduced cutting e
ffi
ciency and may cause overloading of
the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as
excessive 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. 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.
5. Storage
Store the power tool in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signi
fi
cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However,
signi
fi
cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to
fi
ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
