6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade
will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool 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.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unneces-
sarily.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Selecting the cutting action (For models 4328/4329) (Fig. 1)
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. 2)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.

Speed adjusting dial (For models 4327/4328/4329)
(Fig. 3)
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 work-
piece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed may dif-
fer 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.
