LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 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.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and
your saw becomes disconnected from power supply,
disengage the lock-on feature immediately.
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 your 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 3.
Your saw has a variable 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 3.
NOTE:
Hold your saw in normal operating position and turn
the variable speed control selector counterclockwise to
increase speed and power. Turn clockwise to decrease
speed and power.
If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed, depress
the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button, and
release the switch trigger. Next, adjust the variable speed
control selector until the desired speed is reached.
NOTE:
If the variable speed control selector is fully turned in
the clockwise direction (zero setting) your saw may not run.
NOTE:
If you desire not to use the variable speed control
selector, turn it in the full counterclockwise direction. This will
allow the speed of your saw to be 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 your saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
your saw by running it without a load and at full speed.

OPERATION
The following guidelines may be used in determining correct
speed for various applications:
LOW
speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is
required, for example, starting cuts.
MEDIUM
speed is suitable for cutting hard metals, plastics,
and laminates.
HIGH
speed produces best results when maximum power is
required, for example, cutting wood. Soft metals such as
aluminum, brass, and copper also require high speeds.
