TRIGGER SWITCH

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

PLUNGER SPEED

The stroke rate may be adjusted as described earlier under “Variable Speed Controlled Trigger Switch”. The best results for a particular application are determined by experience, though as a general rule, slower speeds are for denser materials and faster speeds are for soft materials.

BLADE STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Your tool is equipped with a blade storage compartment (Fig. 5) on the backside of your saw. To remove, slide in direction of arrow. Be sure storage compartment is closed to prevent blades from falling out.
