(2) Trigger switch (Fig. 10)
The number of strokes of the blade can be adjusted
to within the range of 0 to 2,400 strokes/minute
depending on the amount the switch is pulled. In
addition, releasing the switch activates a break that
stops the blade immediately.
When the switch is turned on, an LED lamp lights
to illuminate the end of the blade. This lamp goes
out when the switch is released.
CAUTION:
●
Always make sure to push in the lock off button
to the locked position when not using the saw.
●
Do not look directly into the light from the LED
lamp. Continuous and direct exposure to the light
from the LED lamp can injure your eyes.

6. Adjusting the orbital operation
(1) This Jig Saw employs orbital operation which
moves the blade back and forth, as well as up and
down. Set the change knob shown in Fig. 11 to
"0" to eliminate the orbital operation (the blade
moves only up and down). The orbital operation
can be selected in 4 steps from "0" to "III".

(2) For the hard material, such as a steel plate, etc.,
decrease the orbital operation. For the soft
material, such as lumber, plastic, etc., increase the
orbital operation to increase work efficiency. To
cut the material accurately, decrease the orbital
operation.
