MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation and possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION: Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the power tool.
