Selecting the cutting action (Fig. 3)

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 to select the appropriate cutting action.

Switch action (Fig. 4 & 5)

To start the tool:

Press the lock switch to turn the tool into standby mode. It

turns the lamp on, too.

Press the ON/standby switch to start the tool in standby

mode.

To stop the tool:

Press the ON/standby switch to stop and turn the tool into

standby mode.

Press the lock switch to stop and turn the tool into lock-off

mode.

In standby mode, press the lock switch to turn the lamp off

and turn the tool into lock-off mode.

NOTE:

• When the tool is in standby mode, the lamp keeps

lighting.

• If the tool is left 10 seconds without any operations in

standby mode, the tool is automatically turned into

lock-off mode and the lamp goes off.

Lighting up the lamps

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the lamp or see the source of lamp

directly.

To turn on the lamp, press the lock switch.

Another press of the lock switch stops the tool and the

light goes 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.

• When the tool is overheated, the lamp flickers. Cool

down the tool fully before operating again.

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 6)

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted by turning the

speed adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 6

and the lowest speed at 1.

Refer to the table 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 service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:

• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6

and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed

adjusting function may no longer work.

NOTE:

• When the speed adjusting dial is at 3 or higher, the tool

automatically reduces the no-load speed to reduce the

vibration under no-load. Once the tool gets load, the

tool speed reaches the preset speed. Then the tool

keeps the speed until the tool is switched off. When

temperature is low and there is less fluidity in grease,

the tool may not have this function even with the motor

rotating.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any

work on the tool.

Installing or removing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to

the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may

cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a

serious personal injury.

• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately

after operation; they may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

• Tighten the saw blade securely. Failure to do so may

cause a serious injury.

• When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt

your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of

workpiece. (Fig. 7)

Before installing the blade, make sure that the blade

holder is in the released position.

To install the blade, insert the blade (teeth facing forward)

into the blade holder until it latches. The blade holder

moves to the fixed position by itself and the blade is

locked. Pull the blade lightly to make sure that the blade

does not fall off during operation.
