Installing or removing the blade

CAUTION:
Oil on the blade can cause the blade to slip or
•
come off unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil with
a cloth before installing the blade.
Always wear protective gloves when handling the
•
blade.
Use caution when handling the blade to avoid cut
•
by the sharp edge of the blade teeth.
Keep your body away from the blade area when
•
checking the blade movement.
When turning the blade tightening lever clockwise
•
to release the tension on the blade, point the tool
downward because the blade may come off
unexpectedly.

upper and lower holder touches to the bottom bearings.
Fig.8
4. With pressing the middle part of the blade,
position the blade around one wheel. Moving the
wheel to A side makes it easier to do so.
5. Position the blade on another wheel similarly.
6. Position the edge of the blade on rubber tire.
7. Hold the blade in place and turn the blade-
tightening lever counterclockwise until it stops.
This places proper tension on the blade.
Make sure that the blade is correctly positioned around
the wheels.
Start and stop the tool two or three times to make sure
that the blade runs properly on the wheels.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Adjusting the stopper plate position

In the ordinary operation, protrude the stopper plate to
the A side fully.
When the stopper plate strikes against the obstacles
like a wall or the like at the finishing of a cut, loosen two
screws and slide it to the B side in the figure.
After sliding the stopper plate, secure it by tightening
two screws firmly.
Hook (Optional accessory)
