0PERATION
Press the shoe firmly against the work- piece. Do not allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove, using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
