OPERATION

• Plug tool into appropriate power supply.
• Ensuring that the tool is in a safe

location away from the user and any
other objects, slide the power switch
located at the top of the tool forward
to turn the tool on. The upper blade
will begin to oscillate.

• Align blades on the line to be cut and

apply pressure to begin cutting

(FIG 1)

.

Only moderate pressure is required for
tool to cleanly cut through metal. Do not
force. When possible, it is recommended
to use two hands to control tool.

NOTE:

To help ensure cut quality, test shears on a piece of scrap material that is the same

thickness as the project material.

• To make a curved cut, apply pressure in the direction needed to follow the curve. If the tool

begins to bind

STOP IMMEDIATELY

. Do not force tool. Remove all excess material before

attempting to continue the curved cut.
