* Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting
speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
* Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug
has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in
use.
* Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-
off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing
fragments to scatter about dangerously.
* Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn
the trigger switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped.
Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position.
* Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the
turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
* Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor.
Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation once
and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting
operation.
* Do not operate the head section or lift up the main unit while
grasping the digital display (Fig. 1) as this could cause damage to
the digital display.
