CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.

the switch trigger to stop.

Speed adjusting dial (For models
4327/4328/4329)
► Fig.3: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 3,100 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 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.
Workpiece to be cut
Wood
Mild steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum
Plastics
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low
speeds for a long time, the motor will get over-
loaded and heated up.
• 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.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.

Installing or removing saw blade
► Fig.4: 1. Blade holder 2. Bolt 3. Hex wrench
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade and/or blade holder.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient tighten-
ing of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
• Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient tight-
ening of the blade may cause blade breakage or
serious personal injury.
• Use only B type blades. Using blades other than
B type blades causes insufficient tightening of
the blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt counterclockwise on
the blade holder with the hex wrench.
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 bolt clockwise to secure the blade.

NOTE:
• Occasionally lubricate the roller.

and the retainer.
NOTE:
• Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Dust cover
► Fig.8: 1. Dust cover
CAUTION:
• Always wear safety goggles even when operat-
