Fig. 2
Your saw is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is
convenient when continuous cutting for extended
periods of time is required. To lock-on, depress the
switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button
located on the side of the handle, then release switch
trigger. Release lock-on button and your saw will
continue running.
To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and
release it. Do not lock the trigger on heavy jobs where
your saw may have to be stopped quickly.
A WARNING: When using your saw with the
switch lock-on, keep your finger on the trigger
and be prepared to disengage the lock-on feature
at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss of
control leading to possible sedous injury.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged dudng use
and your saw becomes disconnected from power
supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.
_k WARNING: Before connecting your saw to
power supply source, always check to be sure it
is not in "lock-on position" (depress and release
switch trigger). Failure to do so could result in
accidental starting of saw resulting in possible
serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on
jobs where your saw may need to be stopped
suddenly.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2.
Your electronic reciprocating saw has a vadable speed
control selector designed to allow operator control and
adjustment of speed and power limits. The speed and
power of your saw can be increased or decreased by
rotating the variable speed control selector in the
direction of the arrows shown in figure 2.
Note: Hold your saw in normal operating position and
turn the variable speed control selector clockwise to
increase the speed and power of your saw. Turn
counterclockwise to decrease the speed and power of
your saw.
If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed,
depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-
on button, then while holding the lock-on button
pushed in release the switch trigger. Next, adjust the
variable speed control selector until the desired speed
is reached.
Note; If the vadable speed control selector is fully
turned in the counterclockwise direction (zero setting)
your saw may not run.
If you desire not to use the variable speed control
selector, turn it in the full clockwise direction. This will
allow the speed of your saw to be fully controlled by
the amount of switch trigger depression.
Avoid running your saw at low speeds for extended
periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant
usage may cause the motor of your saw to become
overheated. If this occurs, cool your saw by running it
without a load and at full speed.
WARNING: Your saw should never be
connected to power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing
or removing blades, when cleaning, or when not
in use. Disconnecting your saw will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
injury.
