MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAW BLADE
MOUNT

(1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand,

moisture, etc., with air or brush them away with
a brush, etc., to ensure that the blade mount
can function smoothly.

(2) As shown in Fig. 12, carry out lubrication around

the blade holder on a periodic basis by use of
cutting fluid, etc.

NOTE:

Continued use of the tool without cleaning and
lubricating the area where the saw blade is
installed can result in some slack movement of
the lever due to accumulated sawdust and chips.
Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap
provided on the lever in the direction of an arrow
mark as shown in Fig. 13 and remove the rubber
cap from the lever. Then, clean up the inside of
the blade holder with air and the like and carry
out sufficient lubrication.
The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed
firmly onto the lever. At this time, make certain
that there exists no clearance between the blade
holder and the rubber cap, and furthermore
ensure that the saw-blade-installed area can
function smoothly.

CAUTION:

Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade
hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off,
resulting in personal injury. (Fig. 14)

3. Adjusting the base

Loosen the set screw with an Allen wrench and move
the base forward, as shown in Fig. 15, Fig. 16.
Tighten the set screw slightly, ensure the base does
not move back and forth, and firmly tighten the set
screw. Ensure that the base does not contact the
blade.

4. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
