only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade
from the workpiece.

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.

CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 4)
The tool speed can be adjusted and maintained between
500 and 2,800 strokes per minute by turning the adjust-
ing dial. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 5 (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 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-
tridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Applications
For cutting mild steel, stainless steel and plastics.
For clean cuts in wood and plywood.
For cutting mild steel, aluminum and hard wood.
For cutting wood and plywood.
For fast cutting in aluminum and mild steel.
For fast cutting in wood and plywood.
CAUTION:
Adjust the speed adjusting dial only within the range of
numbers 1 through 5. Do not force the dial beyond this
range or damage to the tool may result.
Anti-splintering device (Fig. 5)
To reduce the potential for workpiece surface splintering,
the anti-splintering device can be used. Fit it into the
base from below so that it surrounds the sides of the
blade.
Plastic base plate (optional accessory) (Fig. 6)
Use the plastic base plate when cutting decorative
veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate sur-
faces from damage. To replace the base plate, remove
the four screws.
Guide rule (rip fence; optional accessory) (Fig. 7)
When cutting widths of under 150 mm repeatedly, use of
the guide rule will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To
install it, loosen the bolt on the front of the base. Slip in
the guide rule and secure the bolt.
Circular guide (optional accessory) (Fig. 8)
Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth cutting of
circles (radius: under 200 mm). Insert the pin through the
center hole and secure it with the threaded knob. Move
the base of the tool forward fully. Then install the circular
guide on the base in the same manner as the guide rule.
