OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Stroke rate selection
The stroke rate can be pre-selected before cutting or adjusted during the cutting
process using the speed adjustment dial (7). The higher the number selected
using the speed adjustment dial, the faster the stroke rate.
Replacing/Inserting the saw blade (Fig. B)
When changing the saw blade (1), ensure that the blade holder (14) is free of
material residue (e.g. wood or metal shavings). To insert or remove a saw blade
(1) from the blade holder, press the blade holder control button (3) toward the
arrow while inserting or removing the blade. Ensure the saw blade is pushed all
the way in when it is inserted into the holder. After inserting the blade, release the
blade holder control button (3). Ensure the blade is securely seated and that it
cannot be pulled out of the holder prior to making a cut.
Adjustment footplate (Fig. C)
Depressed button (13) in the end, adjusts the footplate (2) to properly position with
forth or back, then release button.
Orbital action setting
By means of the adjustable orbital action, the contact of the saw blade against the
workpiece can be adapted to the material to be cut. The orbital action lifts the saw
blade from the workpiece on the downward stroke, which improves chip ejection
and increases the service life of the saw blade.
Orbital action (Fig.D):
Step 0 For cutting thin or hard material such as sheet metal or steel.
Step I, II For cutting soft materials such as softwood or plastic.
Rotary handle adjustment (Fig.E)
For ergonomic purposes, the tool's handle can be positioned in 4 different
locations. To adjust the handle location, push the handle position adjustment
switch (6), rotate the handle to the desired location, then release the handle
position adjustment switch.
Warning: The tool must be stopped when making handle position adjustments.
Confirm that the handle is securely locked in position prior to making a cut.
