VARIABLE SPEED
This saw is equipped with an adjustable variable speed control and the speed range is 500 to 3100 SPM. The speed is adjusted by turning the control knob (C), Fig. 5. The speed control may be adjusted with or without the motor running.
Use higher speed settings for fast cutting when finish and accuracy are not critical. Use slower speed settings when accuracy and finish are critical or for delicate materials.
BLADE ORBIT
The blade orbit may be varied by turning knob (A), Fig. 6, to any of four positions indicated by the numbers “0” through “3”, with “0” producing no orbit and “3” producing maximum orbit. The orbit may be adjusted with or without the motor running. Move knob (A), Fig. 6, to the detent in the housing corresponding to the number on the housing. The knob is shown in position “0”. The straight up and down position would be setting “3”. Metal cutting should be performed in orbit setting “0”.
Use of higher orbit settings when performing intricate scroll cuts may cause blade breakage. The lower orbit settings are recommended for scrolling. Orbit position “0” will produce the most accurate cuts with less splintering and the longest blade life.

CHIP BLOWER
This saw is equipped with a chip blower to keep the cutting area free of chips. Use knob (B), Fig. 6, to turn the chip blower on and off. The knob is shown in the off position. To turn the chip blower on, turn the knob counterclockwise until it stops.
PLUNGE CUTTING
When cutting into a wall avoid contact with all exposed metal on the tool to prevent electrical shock hazard resulting from accidentally cutting into a live wire. HOLD SAW AS ILLUSTRATED IN FIG. 7.
