This tool is equipped with a variable speed controlled
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The blade plunger
stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum to
maximum nameplate stroke rate by the pressure you
apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.
2. Cutting metallic materials
CAUTION:
Press the base firmly against the workpiece.
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade
when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.
The motor can be locked sometimes, depending
on the combination of the material to be cut and
the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch
it off immediately.
(1) Fasten a workpiece firmly before operation. (Fig. 24)
(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine
oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine
oil, apply grease over the workpiece.
CAUTION:
The service life of the saw blade will be drastically
shortened if you don’t use machine oil.
3. Cutting lumber
When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece
is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 25)
CAUTION:
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw
blade when cutting. Also remember to press the
base against the lumber firmly.
4. Sawing curved lines
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade
mentioned in Page 21 for the saw blade since it is
tough and hardly breaks.
CAUTION:
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material
into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed
may break the blade.
