Installing or removing saw blade
Fig.3
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.
Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
•
tightening 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.

To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
NOTE:
Occasionally lubricate the roller.

Hex wrench storage

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
•
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or
•
scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted
cutting surface and blade breakage.
Fig.6
Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the
base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool
forward along the previously marked cutting line.
