(2)Trigger switch

This 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.

2.Cutting metallic materials

CAUTION:

Press the base firmly against the workpiece.

Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.

The motor can be locked sometimes, depending on the combination of the material to be cut and the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it off immediately.

(1)Fasten a workpiece firmly before operation. (Fig. 20)

(2)When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil, apply grease over the workpiece.

CAUTION: The service life of the saw blade will be drastically shortened if you don’t use machine oil.

3.Cutting lumber

When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 21)

CAUTION: Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Also remember to press the base against the lumber firmly.

4.Sawing curved lines

We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade mentioned in Page 26 for the saw blade since it is tough and hardly breaks.
