OPERATION
WARNING!
Do not attach the battery or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instruc-
tions. Read through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your track
saw. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the workpiece. The blade com-
ing into contact with the workpiece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KICKBACK towards you
resulting in serious personal injury.
STARTING / STOPPING THE SAW
1. Make sure the batteries are connected to the saw and
have charge.
2. To start the saw, press and hold the plunge lock button
(Fig. 11 - 1), then pull the power trigger (Fig. 11 - 2). Once
the saw reaches maximum speed, plunge the saw down-
wards.
3. To stop the saw, release the power trigger. Allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
NOTE:
Do not remove your saw from the workpiece while
the blade is still moving.
CHANGING SPEEDS
You can adjust the blade speed between 2000 and 5500
RPM using the speed arrow buttons on the speed display
(Fig. 12 - 1). The optimal blade speed depends on the type
and thickness of the workpiece. Press the up arrow to in-
crease the speed of the blade and the down arrow to de-
crease the speed of the blade.
Speed Range
Material Type
1-2
Gypsum- and cement-bonded fiberboard, soft plastics, non-ferrous metals
3-4
Hard plastics, fiberglass, paper and fabrics, particle- and hardboards, acrylic
5
Solid wood (hard or soft), plywood, veneered or coated boards, plastic-coated
boards, MDF boards
Reduce the cutting speed for clean cuts in soft and heat-sensitive materials.
NOTE:
At higher speeds, you can cut the workpiece faster, but this will wear out the blade more quickly.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to use the variable-speed function in order to use saw blades with lower no-load
speed ratings. Only use saw blades rated for at least 5500 RPM.
