To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool 
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch 
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. 
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and 
then push in the lock button. 
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch 
trigger fully, then release it. 
A speed control screw is provided so that maximum tool 
speed can be limited (variable). Turn the speed control 
screw clockwise for higher speed, and counterclockwise 
for lower speed.

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 serious personal injury. 

• 

Do not touch the blade or the workpiece 
immediately after operation as  they may be 
extremely hot and could cause burn injury. 

• 

Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient 
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage 
or serious personal injury. 

First, use the hex wrench to remove the bolt that secures 
the blade clamp to the blade holder shaft. 
With the blade teeth facing forward, place the shank of 
the blade over the flat side of the blade holder shaft. 
Then place the blade clamp over the other side of the 
blade shank. Secure this assembly together with the bolt. 
Make sure that the bolt passes through the larger hole in 
the blade shank.

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex 
wrench. Move the retainer so that the roller contacts the 
blade lightly. Then tighten the bolt to secure the base 
and the retainer. 
However, when using the blade that does not have a 
straight back, slide the retainer back so that the roller will 
not contact the blade. 

 

NOTE: 

• 

Occasionally lubricate the roller.
