SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

WARNING:
* To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and
disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw
blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can
get loose, the blade can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in
injuries.
Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into
the receptacle.
* If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 10mm box wrench
(standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.
