Installing or removing jig saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly. Insufficient tightening of the blade may cause
blade breakage or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use only B type jig saw blades.
Using blades other than B type causes insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
To install the jig saw blade, loosen the bolt counter-
clockwise on the jig saw blade holder with the hex
wrench.
