PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can
cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. 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 holder sleeve can jump out of the
front cover completely. Thereafter, turn off the
switch and unplug the power cord. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Be absolutely sure to keep the switch
turned off and the power cord
unplugged to prevent any accident.
