(3) Do not touch the workpiece or blade with bare hands immediately after it has been cut.
Immediately after the cutting process, the workpiece and blade will be very hot. You may be burned if you touch them with
bare hands.
(4) Turn off the unit immediately in the event of an abnormality.
Turn off the unit immediately and unplug it if it starts acting strangely, or if you notice any other abnormality during operati on.
(5) Make sure the frame cover is in place.
To ensure safety during the cutting operation, always make sure the frame cover is in place when cutting. If the frame cover
is not in place, you may get caught in the blade or rotating parts, leading to accident or serious injury.
(6) Install the unit on level ground and in a stable position.
Avoid installing the unit on an incline. Always install it on level ground. Failure to observe this precaution may result in the
unit toppling during operation, resulting in accident or injury.
Be particularly careful of the unit toppling over when performing contour cutting. Check to make sure the frame will not
topple forward.
(7) Check to make sure the unit is turned OFF before changing the blade or clamping the workpiece.
Particularly when changing the blade, set the ON /OFF swi tch to the "O F F " position and unplug the unit before changing the blade.
(8) Make sure the frame does not drop down unexpectedly.

Be particularly careful not to drop the unit during transport. This may result in damage to the machine or injury if it should
land on your foot, etc.
(10) Make sure that the voltage is correct.
Be sure to use a power supply with the proper voltage shown on the label. Using a power supply of a different voltage may
not only damage the motor but could also lead to injury.
(11) Clamp the workpiece securely.
If the workpiece is not fastened securely in place, it may move during the cutting process. This may cause the tool to vibrate
or place excessive stress on the blade, resulting in breakage.
W hen cutting several workplaces at the same time, check to make sure that none of them move before begi nni ng the cutting process.
(12) Use a blade of the recommended type that matches the material to be cut.
Select a blade that is appropriate for the material to be cut.
Use only the recommended blades.
(13) Use a cutting load setting that matches the workpiece.
Do not use a load setting that is too high or press the frame against the workpiece while cutting. This may cause slanted
cutting or result in blade chipping / breakage, or the motor locking or the like.
(14) Make sure the blade is attached securely.
If the blade is not attached securely, it may come off during the cutting operation, resulting in accident or injury.
(15) Wipe off any oil from the blade or workpiece before cutting.
Before shipment from the factory, blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Be sure to wipe away the oil before attaching
blades. Failure to do so may cause the blade to slip or come loose.
If there is any oil on the workpiece, be sure to wipe it off as well.
