ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove
all nails from the workpiece before operation.
2. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
3. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade
will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
4. Hold the tool firmly.
5. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
6. Keep hands away from moving parts.
7. When cutting through walls, floors or wher-
ever "live" electrical wires may be encoun-
tered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE MACHINE! Hold the tool by the insu-
lated grasping surfaces to prevent electric
shock if you cut through a "live" wire.
8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
9. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
10. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing saw blade (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
First, use the hex wrench to loosen the bolt. With the
blade teeth facing upward or downward, insert the
blade until the hole in the blade shank is just over the
protrusion on the slider. Then tighten the bolt to
secure the blade.
Adjusting shoe (Fig. 2)
Loosen the two bolts holding the shoe. Then slide the
shoe back or forth to the desired position and tighten
the two bolts securely. When the blade loses its cut-
ting effectiveness in one place, reposition the shoe to
obtain better cutting in another.
Speed change (For JR3000 only) (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
Use the speed change switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop.
To change the tool speed, move the speed change
switch to the "L" position for low speed or the "H"
position for high speed.
High speed: ordinary wood, plys or plastics
Low speed: metals (steel pipe, sheet metal, stainless
or copper)
Switch action (For JR3000) (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before plugging the tool, always check to see that the
