FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION • 001906 CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Selecting the cutting action 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.
001956 Workpiece to be cut Wood Mild steel Stainless steel Aluminum Plastics Number on adjusting dial 4-5 3-5 3-4 3-5 1-4 CAUTION: The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features. Constant speed control Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
001910 3 1 Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade can not be seen. Return the tool opener to its original position. After installing, always make sure that the blade is securely held in place by trying to pull it out. • CAUTION: Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it may cause tool damage. 2 1.

001914 Bevel cutting CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before tilting the tool base. With the tool base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0° and 45° (left or right). • 001915 Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base. 1 3 2 1. Base 2. Bolt 3. Hex wrench 2 1 001916 Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.
Cutouts Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B. 001918 A) Boring a starting hole For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut. 001919 B) Plunge cutting You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows. (1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface.
001921 1 Dust extraction The dust nozzle (accessory) is recommended to perform clean cutting operations. To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of dust nozzle into the hole in the base. The dust nozzle can be installed on either left or right side of the base. 2 1. Dust nozzle 2.

004446 Guide rail adapter set (accessory) When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting straight, the use of the guide rail and the guide rail adapter will assure the production of fast and clean cuts. 004447 To install the guide rail adapter, insert the rule bar into the square hole of the base as far as it goes. Secure the bolt with the hex wrench securely. 2 1 1. Bolt 2. Rule bar 004448 1 Install the guide rail adapter on the rail of the guide rail.
001929 Anti-splintering device For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can be used. To install the anti-splintering device, move the tool base all the way forward and fit it from the back of tool base. When you use the cover plate, install the anti-splintering device onto the cover plate. 1 2 • CAUTION: The anti-splintering device cannot be used when making bevel cuts. 1. Base 2.
