motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.

moves smoothly.

1. Check if saw blade is tightened
While the saw blade is tightened securely for
immediate use when it is assembled at the factory,
be sure to check it out again for caution's sake. A bolt
can be tightened when it is turned clockwise. Use the
provided wrench to check it out. For further details,
refer to the item of [PRIOR TO OPERATION] on
Page 16.
2. Check if the lever is tightened
If the cutting depth lever (Fig. 21) is loose, injury can
result. Make sure that it is tightened securely.
3. Switch operation (Fig. 25)
For safe operation of the machine, a "lock-off button"
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the "trigger switch" is pulled in a state where "lock-
off button" is pressed in the direction of the arrow
mark, the main switch can be turned ON.
After the switch is on, the saw blade will continue to
operate as long as you pull on the trigger switch, even
if you release the lock-off button.
