TOOLLESS BLADE CLAMP

Your saw has a blade clamp design that does not require the use of a tool (blade wrench) when installing or remov- ing the blade. Simply lift blade clamp lock / release lever, located on side of saw, insert blade between blade clamp and saw bar as far as possible, then release lever to lock position.

HEX KEY HOLDER

A hex key is packed with your saw. A convenient feature on your saw is the hex key holder. This is a slot located on the bottom portion of the saw handle. It is convenient for storing the hex key when it is not being used.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

Your saw is equipped with a "lock-off" button which reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger. You must depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

SWITCH

To turn your saw ON, depress the lock-off button and pull switch trigger. Release switch trigger to turn your saw OFF.

VARIABLE SPEED

This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.

BLADE SELECTION

To obtain the best performance from your saw it is important to select a specific blade for the particular application and type of material you wish to cut. By doing this you will get a smoother faster cut and prolong blade life. Replacement blades for this saw are available from your nearest Craftsman dealer.
