ELECTRICAL INFORMATION Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
BLADE INSTALLATION Caution: Before installing or changing a blade, be sure the saw is unplugged from the power supply. 1. Loosen the two blade lock bolts (use hex key supplied) enough for a blade to be removed or inserted. Note: there is a position notch in the blade cover and the back plate to which the blade clip is screwed.
