Lift up the miter lock handle, turn the turntable as far right
as it will go, and secure the turntable by press down the
miter lock handle to the fixed position. This will make the
main body even more compact. (Fig. 39-b)
When transporting the main body, carry it in your arms,
holding the grip located on the base with both hands.
When transporting with two people, each person should
use both their hands to hold the carry handle, handle and
the base grip.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the battery
before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the
first sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a
worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation and
possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION
Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull,
its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool
handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate
the power tool.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the lower guard for proper operation
○ Before each use of the tool, test the lower guard
(Fig. 40) to assure that it is in good condition and that it
moves smoothly.
○ Never use the tool unless the lower guard operates
properly and it is in good mechanical condition.
5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
6. Lubrication
Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month to
keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long
time.
Use of machine oil is recommended.
Oil supply points:
○ Rotary portion of hinge
○ Rotary portion of holder (A)
○ Rotary portion of vise assembly
7. Cleaning
Clean the machine, duct and lower guard by blowing
with dry air from an air gun or other tool. (Fig. 41)
Periodically remove chips and other waste material
from the surface of the power tool with a damp, soapy
cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it
from contact with oil or water.
If the LED line becomes invisible due to chips and the
like adhered onto the window of the LED's light-emitting
section, wipe and clean the window with a dry cloth or a
soft cloth moistened with soapy water, etc.
8. Disposal of the exhausted battery
WARNING
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery
must explode if it is incinerated. The product that you
have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The
battery is recyclable. At the end of it's useful life, under
various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose
of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste officials for details in your
area for recycling options or proper disposal.
9. Storage
○ After operation of the tool has been completed, check
that the following has been performed:
(1) Trigger switch is in OFF position,
(2) Pull out the battery, from the tool,
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which the
temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, significantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to five times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
