MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

• Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure

operation which could result in serious personal injury.
When using compressed air to blow metal chips
out of the guards, wear a proper eye and breathing
protection.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Inspecting blade
• Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before
and after each use. Replace a cracked or damaged
blade immediately.
• Continuing to use a dull blade may cause a dangerous
kickback and/or motor overload. Replace with a new
blade as soon as it no longer cuts effectively.
