Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
•Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the blade, blade clamp and/or slider. Failure to do so
may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting
in a serious injury.
To install the saw blade, always make sure that the blade
clamp sleeve is in released position before inserting the saw
blade. If the blade clamp sleeve is in fixed position, rotate the
sleeve to the released position.
Insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it will go.
The blade clamp sleeve rotates and the saw blade is fixed.
Make sure that the saw blade cannot be extracted even
though you try to pull it out.
NOTE:
•If you do not insert the saw blade deep enough, the saw
blade may be ejected unexpectedly during operation.
This can be extremely dangerous.
To remove the saw blade, rotate the blade clamp sleeve in
the direction of the arrow fully. The saw blade is removed and
the blade clamp sleeve is fixed at the released position.
NOTE:
•If you remove the saw blade without rotating the blade
clamp sleeve fully, the sleeve may not be fixed. In this
case, rotate the blade clamp sleeve fully, then make the
sleeve fixed at the released position.
OPERATION CAUTION:
•Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece
during operation. If the shoe is held away from the
workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or
