OPERATION

WARNING:

The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

TURNING THE SAW ON/OFF

See Figure 2.

nTo turn the saw on: Depress the switch trigger.

nTo turn the saw off: Release the switch trigger.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED

See Figure 3.

The variable speed feature allows the saw to operate at speeds that can be increased by rotating the dial from 1 (slow) to 6 (fast). The dial is conveniently located on the handle, allowing operator control of blade speed.

nTo increase the speed: Turn the speed dial to a higher number setting.

nTo decrease the speed: Turn the speed dial to a lower number setting.

SELECTING BLADES

Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to obtain the best performance from the saw. Select the blade based on the application and on the material you wish to cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and prolong the life of the blade.

Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals.

INSTALLING BLADES

See Figure 4.

The toolless blade change system eliminates the need for tools when changing the blade.

nUnplug the saw.

nLift the blade release lever.

nInsert the blade fully, tooth side down.

nLower the blade release lever.
