Remove the plug from the power source before
assembly, changing accessories or bits and making
adjustments. This safety action will help prevent
accidental starting of the tool which could result in
serious injury.
ON / OFF & SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
This Spin Saw is equipped with a sliding ON / OFF switch
(1) located on the side of the tool and a variable speed
control switch (2) located on top of the tool (see Fig. 1).
1. To turn the tool ON, slide the switch (1) forward.
2. To turn the tool OFF, slide the switch backward.
3. To set to higher speed, rotate the speed control switch
(2) toward the ON / OFF switch.
4. To set to lower speed, rotate the speed control switch
(2) away from the ON / OFF switch.

INSTALLING CUTTING BITS

Cutting bit and router bits are extremely sharp. Handle
with caution.
To insert a cutting bit, use the collet wrench which is in the
wrench holder attached to the power cord.
1. Depress the shaft locking button (1) and rotate the
collet lock nut (2) clockwise with the other hand until
the locking button drops into place, preventing the
shaft from turning (see Fig. 2).
2. While continuing to hold the shaft locking button IN,
use the collet wrench (3) to turn the collet nut counter
clockwise. Loosen the collet nut two or three turns.
3. Remove bit if one is already installed in the tool.
INSTALLING CUTTING BITS – Cont'd
4. Insert new cutting bit (4) into the collet.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet and then
pull it back between
air space between the motor shaft and the bit to
help prevent overheating the bit.
Before tightening the collet on the bit, make sure
the flutes (spiral portion) of the bit are completely
visible outside the collet. Clamping the collet on
the bit flutes will result in broken bits and possible
injury.
5. When bit is properly placed in the collet, depress the
shaft locking button and turn the collet nut clockwise
by hand as far as possible.
6. Securely tighten collet nut using the wrench.

WORK LIGHTS

The motor unit has two built-in work lights (5) (see Fig. 2).
These work lights automatically light up when the motor
switch is turned ON. Patterns or drawings in the
immediate vicinity of the bit will be illuminated for better
visibility and improved cutting accuracy.
SELECT APPROPRIATE MOTOR SPEED
Selecting the appropriate motor speed will ensure
smoother, more efficient cutting action. Choose LOWER
speed for grinding, cutting plastics, polishing and when
using wire or bristle brushes. Choose HIGHER speed
when cutting wood, using the angle grinder attachment,
using cut-off wheels and to reduce "chatter" that may
develop when cutting some materials at LOW speed.
