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.
