the switch trigger to stop.

Speed adjusting dial
011958
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted by turning the
speed adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the
speed adjusting dial is turned in the direction of number
5; 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.

Installing or removing saw blade
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.
Use only B type blades. Using blades other than B
•
type blades causes insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to
•
hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips
of workpiece.
