8. PRECAUTIONS IN OPERATIONS
8-1. Handling
When transporting the machine by car or other vehicles, push
down the handle to lower the motor portion (where the safety
cover, saw cover and tipped saw blade are mounted), as
shown in Fig. 8, and ensure without fail the chain on the
provided hook. If not properly secured with the chain, the
machine could fail while being moved, resulting in possible
damage which would seriously degrade its accuracy.
8-2. Installation
To ensure proper stability and enhance safe operation, customers should be instructed to install the machine on a
flat, horizontal, firm surface.
8-3. Tipped Saw Blade for Metal Cutting
(1) Marking on the tipped saw blade
The markings on the tipped saw blade are an arrow indicating the rotation direction and figures indicating the
outer diameter of the blade (14") and the width of the blade tip (3/32") (see Fig. 9). As there is no special
marking indicating the blade is for metal cutting use, the customer should be instructed on how to differentiate
it from wood cutting blades in shape and form of the teeth.
