VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED

TRIGGER SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed controlled trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The blade plunger stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate stroke rate by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).

DUAL SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear

provides slower cutting speeds for cutting hard materials such as metals or thin sheet metals. High gear provides faster speeds for cutting soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. and when fast cutting is more important than a clean cut.

To change speeds slide switch, to the high or low position (Fig. 1).

JOB-LIGHT

Your tool is also equipped with a Job-light for better visibility during operation (Fig. 1).

When the tool is plugged in, the light will turn on automatically and stay on until the plug has been removed from the power source.

FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT

The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of its surface in contact with the work surface Fig. 7 (a).

The footplate assembly can also be locked into one of three projection positions to optimize blade life and/or to reduce blade protrusion beyond the end of the footplate, such as when cutting into large diameter pipe

or into walls. To adjust the footplate position, simply push the footplate release button and move the footplate into the desired position. The locking mechanism is spring-loaded to lock into one of the 3 positions on the footplate assembly. If the footplate is pulled out so far that a notch shows at the other end of the shaft, the footplate assembly is extended too far out, and must be retracted to the one of the 3 positions Fig. 7 (b).
