USING THE TRIGGER SWITCH TO CONTROL VARIABLE SPEED

This saw is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The saw can be turned ON or OFF by squeezing or releasing the trigger switch.

The speed of the blade can be adjusted by the pressure you apply to the trigger switch.

1.To increase the speed, apply more pressure to the trigger switch.

2.To decrease the speed, apply less pressure.

Choosing the Correct Speed
The speed you use will depend on the type of materials that you are cutting:
1.	Use high speeds for cut'dngwood.
2.	Medium speed is best for non-ferrous materials.
3.	Low speed is recommended for cuffing metal.
NOTE:Material thickness and blade selection will also affect your speed
selection. As a general rule, as the material thickness increases, the speed
should be slower.		I
	increase speed once the cut is started. Prolonged use at a very slow
	speedCAUTION:may damage your saw.
	Use a very slow speed when beginning a cut.Then
