To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see
the red part on the lower side of the button, it is not
locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part
cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of
the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
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 accidentally pulled, the
lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button from B side
and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. After use, always
press in the lock-off button from A side.
Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 1.4 m/
s (275 ft./min.) and 2.7 m/s (530 ft./min.) by turning the
adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is
turned in the direction of number 6; lower speed is
obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut.
CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the
speed adjusting function may no longer work.
Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not apply impact to the lamp, which may cause
damage or shorted service time to it.
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The lamp goes out 10 -15 seconds after releasing the
trigger.

Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may
lower the illumination.

When the tool is overloaded during operation, the
lamp flickers.
