Installing or removing saw blade
Fig.4
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.
Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
•
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
Use only B type blades. Using blades other than B
•
type blades causes insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.

To install the blade, loosen the bolt counterclockwise on
the blade holder with the hex wrench.
With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into
the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the
back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Then tighten the
bolt clockwise to secure the blade.

into the hook until it locked.
Dust cover
Fig.7
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles even when operating
•
the tool with the dust cover lowered.
Lower the dust cover to prevent chips from flying.
However, when making bevel cuts, raise it all the way.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
•
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or
•
scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted
cutting surface and blade breakage.
Fig.8
Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the
base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool
forward along the previously marked cutting line.
Bevel cutting
Fig.9
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before tilting the base.
Raise the dust cover all the way before making
•
bevel cuts.
Fig.10
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
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 cross-shaped slot in the base.
