WARNING
To avoid severe personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the wood saw
before starting any maintenance procedure.
CAUTION:
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
servicing should be performed by an authorized
service center. Always insist on genuine Panasonic
replacement parts.

The blade will be hot right after cutting. Be sure to
let the blade cool down before removing it.
Follow these steps: (See. Fig.14)
1.Remove the battery pack from the wood saw.
2.Hold the spindle lock button down. This prevents
the blade from rotating.

Keep the hex wrench in the storage slot on the
wood saw’s body when not using it.

6.Carefully remove the blade.
7.Clean the wood saw if necessary.
CAUTION:
Be careful to avoid cutting your hands on the
blade.
• When disposing of a blade, secure it inside
heavy or corrugated paper. This will help prevent
anyone from being cut by the discarded blade.
