Confirm the bolt has been properly tightened before the power tool is started.
2. Dismounting the saw blade
Dismount the saw blade by reversing the mounting procedures described in paragraph 1 above.
The saw blade can easily be removed after lifting the safety cover.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the trigger switch is turned
OFF and the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing
any maintenance or inspection of this tool.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation
and possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION:
Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand
pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate
the power tool.
