MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION:
Pull out battery before doing any inspection or
maintenance.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of a dull saw blade will degrade
efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction,
sharpen or replace the saw blade as soon as
abrasion is noted.
CAUTION:
If a dull saw blade is used, reactive force is
increased during cutting operation. Avoid the use
of the dull saw blade without repair.
2. Check the mounting screws
Loose mounting screws are dangerous. Regularly
inspect them and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION:
Using this power tool with loosen, screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Performance checkup and maintenance of lower
guard
Keep the lower guard in good shape for smooth
performance at all times. Be sure to make prompt
repair in case of any malfunction.
4. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity
The angle between the base and the saw blade
has been adjusted to 90°, however should this
perpendicularity be lost for some reason, adjust
in the following manner.
When attaching the socket to the housing, align
the socket with the hole of housing while watching
the back of the socket shown in Fig. 21, and insert
the socket until it lightly bumps against the
housing.
