Selecting the cutting action
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line
(up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action
thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and
greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, push in the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 2,800 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the work-
piece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed may dif-
fer with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for
a long time, the motor will get overloaded and
heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the
speed adjusting function may no longer work.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to
do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade,
resulting in a serious personal injury.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
• Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
