English &CAUTION: * 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. &WARNING: * 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 cutoff 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. 4.
