6. Confirm the position of the spindle lock before using the tool.
7. Check facial deflection by rotating the saw blade.
If there is too much facial deflection, the lifespan of the saw blade will be shortened and cutting precision
will deteriorate.
8. Check the Power Receptacle.
To prevent overheating, accidental stopping or intermittent operation, confirm that the power cord
plug fits properly in the electrical receptacle and does not fall out after it is inserted. Repair or replace
the receptacle if it is faulty.
9. Securely fix the cutting material.
Ensure that the material is securely fastened with the vise. If it is not, a serious accident could be caused
if the material comes loose or the saw blade breaks during operation.
10. Confirm the tool's power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is damaged.
AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE,
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
11. Trial Run
After confirming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and confirm that no operating
abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting operation.
12. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for deflection to confirm that the blade is not noticeably
unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.
