Removing saw blade

CAUTION:

When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of workpiece.

Open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. Pull the saw blade out toward the base. (Fig. 3)

NOTE:

Occasionally lubricate the roller.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 4)

When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently stored.

Selecting the cutting action (Fig. 5)

This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action

thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.

To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action changing lever to the desired cutting action position.

Refer to the table below to select the cutting action.

Switch action (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the

switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF”

position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release

the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull

the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To

stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trig-

ger fully, then release it.

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 7)

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 800

and 2,800 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting

dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in

the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when

it is turned in the direction of number 1. 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 thickness of the workpiece. In general, higher

speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the ser-

vice life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:

The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5

and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed

adjusting function may no longer work.

For 4340CT, 4340FCT

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to

operate because of the following features.

Constant speed control

Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.

Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is

kept constant even under load condition.

Soft start feature

Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting

shock.

Lighting up the lamps (For 4340FCT only)

CAUTION:

Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.

To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger

to turn it off.

NOTE:

Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be

careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the

illumination.

Operation (Fig. 8)

CAUTION:

Always hold the tool base flush with the workpiece. Fail-

ure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a

serious injury.

Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed.

Then rest the tool base flat on the workpiece and gently

move the tool forward along the previously marked cut-

ting line. When cutting curves, advance the tool very

slowly.
