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

(2)After you have turned the holder sleeve in the direction of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 6 and secured it, turn the blade so it faces downward. The blade should fall out by itself. If the blade does'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 turn the holder sleeve in the direction of the

arrow mark, secure the holder sleeve, and face the

blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself, take it Blade 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)

NOTE:

18

If the saw blade mount is used without proper cleaning and lubrication, the rotation of the holder sleeve may be hampered by sawdust and

particles of dust, disabling you to remove the saw blade with your fingers.

In such a case, hold the periphery of the holder sleeve lightly using a pair of pliers and the like, and turn the holder sleeve to left and right little by little. After the saw blade has been successfully removed, be absolutely sure to clean it up with air, etc., carry out proper lubrication, and then check and see if the saw blade mount can function smoothly.
