The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500 and 2,800 strokes per
minute by turning the adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is
1
turned in the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned
in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut. How-
ever, the appropriate speed may differ with the type or thickness of the work-
piece. In general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the
service life of the blade will be reduced.
Workpiece to be cut
Stainless steel
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the
motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do
not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer
work.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
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.
