Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting
speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of
the motor and/or decreased cutting effi ciency.
* Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power
plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool
is not in use.
* Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade
causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
* Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is fi nished,
turn the trigger switch off , and check that the saw blade has
stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract
position.
* Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of
the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
* Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor.
Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation once
and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting
operation.
* Do not operate the head section or lift up the main unit while
grasping the digital display (Fig. 1) as this could cause damage
to the digital display.
