LED Light
Your tool is equipped with an LED, located
below the blade clamp on the tool. This LED
provides additional light on the surface of the
work piece for operation in lower-light areas.
The LED will automatically turn on with a slight
squeeze on the variable-speed trigger switch
before the tool starts running, and will turn off
approximately 10 seconds after the variable-
speed trigger switch is released.
The LED will rapidly flash when the tool and/or
battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot,
and the internal sensors will turn the tool off if
the tool and/or battery pack are overloaded.
Rest the tool for a while or place the tool and
battery pack separately under air flow for to cool them.
The LED light will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at low-battery capacity.
Recharge the battery pack.
Blade Selection
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch (TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth per inch are better for cutting metal or plastic.
We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
Orbital Action
Use the orbital-action selector to select either
a linear stroke or orbital cutting action. A linear
stroke is best for making smooth cuts and
orbital action is best for making a faster cut.
To select orbital action:
a. Depress the lock-off button to the locked
position and then remove the battery pack
from the tool.
b. Rotate the orbital action selector to select
the orbital action icon. Push the tab down
into place (Fig.6).
NOTE: To prevent damage to the tool, always
allow the motor to come to a complete stop
before using the orbital action selector.
NOTE: Do not use the orbital action setting when using a metal cutting blade.
