OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing the saw blade (Fig.1 & 2)

Important:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade.

To install the blade, loosen the screw on the blade holder. With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade

into the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Then

tighten the screw to secure the blade.

NOTE:

Occasionally lubricate the roller.

Selecting the cutting action (Fig. 3)

This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line cutting action. To change the cutting action, just turn

the lever to the desired cutting action position. Refer to the table below to select the cutting action.

Switching ON and OFF

Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

“OFF” position when released.

To switch on, press the trigger. To switch off, release

the trigger.

For 4305 (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch actuates properly.

To switch on, slide the switch lever forward. To switch

Speed adjusting dial

(Fig. 4 for 4304 and Fig. 5 for 4305)

The tool speed can be adjusted between 500 and

3,000 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting

dial. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full

speed). Refer to the table below to select the proper

speed for the workpiece to be cut. However, the

appropriate speed may differ with the type or thick-

ness of the workpiece. In general, higher speeds will

allow you to cut workpieces faster but the service life

of the blade will be reduced.

Cutting operation (Fig. 6)

Rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move

the tool forward along the previously marked cutting

line. When cutting curves, advance the tool very

slowly.
