PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Mounting the blade
This unit employs a detachable mechanism that
enables mounting and removal of saw blades
without the use of a wrench or other tools.
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several
times so that the lever can jump out of the front
cover completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch
and remove the battery. (Fig. 9)
CAUTION: Be absolutely sure to keep the switch
turned off and the battery removed
to prevent any accident.
(2) Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark
shown in Fig. 10 marked on the lever. (Fig. 10)
(3) Insert the saw blade all the way into the small
slit of the plunger tip with the lever pushing.
You can mount this blade either in the upward
or downward direction. (Fig. 11, Fig. 12)
(4) When you release the lever, the spring force will
return the lever to the correct position
automatically. (Fig. 13)
(5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times
by hand and check that the blade is securely
mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know
it is properly mounted if it clicks and the lever
moves slightly. (Fig. 14)
CAUTION: When pulling the saw blade, be
absolutely sure to pull it from the
back. Pulling other parts of the blade
will result in an injury.
