[. . . ] Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Check for the proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece. [. . . ] € Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. CAUTION: • The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features. 7 • When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of workpiece. To install the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. 4) Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade can not be seen. After installing, always make sure that the blade is securely held in place by trying to pull it out. CAUTION: • Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it may cause tool damage. To remove the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. B) Plunge cutting: You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface. 15) To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges. Metal cutting Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant. OPERATION CAUTION: • Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch handle and the other hand on the front grip when performing the tool.
