release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
Don't remove the tool from workpiece during a
cut while the saw blade is moving.
Pull out the battery after completing operation.
NOTE
Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is locked,
immediately turn the power off . If the motor is locked
