ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. Installing or removing saw blade CAUTION: • Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal injury. • Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. • Use only B type blades. Using blades other than B type blades causes insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal injury. • When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of workpiece. 1.
