Using the supplied wrench, tighten the clamping bolt on the saw blade mounting shaft to secure the
saw blade.
WARNING:
When the clamping bolt is loose, the saw blade may be damaged when the wheel
axle starts revolving, causing a hazardous condition.
5. Check the safety cover for proper operation.
Safety cover is designed to protect the operator from coming into contact with the saw blade during
operation of the tool. (See Fig. 2)
Always check that the safety cover moves smoothly and covers the saw blade properly.
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the safety cover does not function smoothly.
To use the power tool when no suitable power source is nearby,
use an extension cord of suitable size to ensure safety, and to
