ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.

CAUTION:
• Oil on the blade can cause the blade to slip or come
off unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil with a cloth
before installing the blade.
• Use caution when handling the blade so that you
are not cut by the sharp edge of the blade teeth.
Turn the blade tightening lever clockwise until it hits
against the protrusion on the frame.

Hold the blade in place and turn the blade-tightening
lever counterclockwise until it hits against the protrusion
on the frame. This places proper tension on the blade.
Make sure that the blade is correctly positioned within the
blade guard and around the wheels.
Start and stop the tool two or three times to make sure
that the blade runs properly on the wheels.
CAUTION:
• While making sure that the blade runs on the
wheels properly, keep your body away from the
blade area.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
CAUTION:
• When turning the blade tightening lever clockwise
to release the tension on the blade, point the tool
downward because the blade may come off unex-
pectedly.

In the ordinary operation, protrude the stopper plate to
the A side fully.
When the stopper plate strikes against the obstacles like
a wall or the like at the finishing of a cut, loosen two
screws and slide it to the B side in the figure.
After sliding the stopper plate, secure it by tightening two
screws firmly.
OPERATION
It is important to keep at least two teeth in the cut. Select
the proper cutting position for your workpiece by referring
to the figure.
