Avoid running the saw at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the saw by running it without a load and at full speed.
The following guidelines may be used in determining correct
speed for various applications:
LOW Speed (Settings A and B): Ideal when minimum speed
and power is required; for example, starting cuts.
MEDIUM Speed (Settings C and D): Suitable for cutting
hard metals, plastics, and laminates.
HIGH Speed (Settings E and F): Produces best results when
maximum power is required, for example, cutting wood. Soft
metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper may also re
-
quire high speeds.
SPLINTER GUARD
See Figure 4.
This saw has a splinter guard to permit splinter-free cutting.
It is especially useful when cutting plywood. This feature
should only be used when making straight cuts or circle
cuts. It is not for bevel cutting or plunge cutting.
To install:
Unplug the saw.
Align splinter guard tabs into slots on base.
�Snap into place.
To remove:
Unplug the saw.
Pull splinter guard from slot.
NOTE: The non-orbital setting also helps reduce splintering
when cutting plywood.
CAUTION:
Only use the splinter guard for flat cuts. Do not use
splinter guard for any cut exceeding 0° because
the blades can damage the splinter guard.
CHIP SHIELD
See Figure 5.
For your protection, a chip shield has been included with
the saw. It is used to shield wood particles from the eyes.
The chip shield is attached by placing it in front of the blade
area of the base and snapping it into the tabs on the sides
of the saw base. For removal, simply pull on the chip shield
by gripping the same tabs as shown in figure 5. Make sure
the saw is unplugged before installation and removal.
