MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:

To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool.

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.

2.Inspecting the lever

If the M6 hexagonal head bolts (2) are loose, align the sides of the fence and saw blade with the steel square. After adjusting the saw blade and fence to a ninety-degree angle, tighten the lever securing hexagonal head bolts (2).
