If the lever to adjust cutting depth (Fig. 12) is loose,
injury can result. Make sure that it is tightened
securely.
3. Operation of switch (Fig. 20)

After the switch is on, the saw blade will continue to
operate as long as you pull on the switch trigger, even

will remain lit for Always-ON mode as well as during
SW interlocked mode.
