NOTE:

Continued use of the tool without cleaning and lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed can result in some slack movement of the lever due to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown in Fig. 10 and remove the rubber cap from the lever. Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with air and the like and carry out sufficient lubrication.

The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there exists no clearance between the blade holder and the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the saw-blade- installed area can function smoothly.

9.Adjusting the blade reciprocating speed

This unit has a built-in electronic control circuit that makes it possible to adjust the variable speed of the saw blade by pulling the switching trigger. (Fig. 15)

If you pull the trigger further in, the speed of the blade accelerates. Begin cutting at a low speed to ensure the accuracy of your target cut position. Once you’ve obtained a sufficient cutting depth, increase the cutting speed.
