(4)When you release the lever, the spring force will return the lever to the correct position automatically. (Fig. 9)

(5)Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by hand and check that the blade is securely mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know it is properly mounted if it clicks and the lever moves slightly. (Fig. 10)

CAUTION: When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade will result in an injury.

2.Dismounting the blade

(1)Turn on and off the switching trigger several times so that the lever can jump out of the front cover completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and remove the battery. (Fig. 5)

CAUTION: Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and the battery removed to prevent any accident.

(2)After you have pushed the lever in the direction of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 6, turn the blade so it faces downward. The blade should fall out by itself. If the blade doesn’t fall out, pull it out by hand.

CAUTION: Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.

WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN

Even when the saw blade is broken and remains inside the small slit of the plunger, it should fall out if you push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark, and face the blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself, take it out using the procedures explained below.

(1)If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of the small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding part and take the blade out.

(2)If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade and take it out. (Fig. 11)
