IV. OPERATION
[Main Body]
Before Using the Tool
• Do not touch the saw blade, workpiece,
or cutting chips with bare hands
immediately after cutting; they may be
hot and could burn skin.
Each time you use the tool, you must
make sure it is in good operating
condition.
1. Test operation
Cycle the device through on and off
several times and check that the saw
blade is mounted correctly. If the saw
blade is not running smoothly, remove
the saw blade and reinstall from the
beginning.
2. Select the blade speed
Set to suit the properties of the
workpiece being cut.
• 3 blade speed settings are available.
• Blade speed setting "L" is effective for
cutting stainless steel which requires
slow rotation.
<Setting blade speed>
Press the blade speed button to set the
rotation speed.
• Keep pressing to switch from H to M
to L.

3. Bring guide plate to workpiece
Press the workpiece against the guide
plate such that the saw blade does not
make contact. [Fig.10]
WARNING
If a gap is left between the guide plate
and the workpiece, the workpiece may
wobble and damage the saw blade.
4. Make the cut
(1) Check the saw blade is not
touching the workpiece.
(2) Switch on while holding the off-lock
switch.
(3) If rotation is smooth, bring the saw
blade slowly towards the workpiece
without shocking the saw blade,
and make the cut. [Fig.11]
(4) Do not apply unreasonable force to
the saw blade.
(5) Be sure to hold the device with
both hands. While holding the
device, be sure to keep the saw
blade perpendicular to the
workpiece. There is no need to
force the device more than
required. Be aware that application
of excessive lateral or pushing
force to the device may cause
device malfunction.
(6) Blade rotation spin-up can be
controlled using the pressure on
the switch, to control kickback
when starting a cut (only for blade
speeds 2 and 3 when using the
18V battery model).
