OPERATION
SWITCh
CAUTION:
Because the tool has a separate
speed dial for setting the speed (10,000 - 22,000
OPM), the tool will start at the speed where the
variable speed dial is set. Be sure switch is fully OFF
before plugging in the power cord.
• Plug in power cord.
• To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in
figure 8 and
push the slide switch forward.
•
To turn the tool OFF, push the slide switch backward.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
To operate the tool, select the speed setting you wish
with the speed dial, shown in figure 9, and slide the
ON/OFF switch forward. The speed setting can be
adjusted either with the tool on or off.
CAUTION:
Because the tool has a separate
speed dial for setting the speed (10,000 - 22,000
OPM), the tool will start at the speed where the
variable speed dial is set. Be sure switch is fully OFF
before plugging in the power cord.
The numbered positions,1 through 6 inscribed on the variable speed dial, do not
indicate any precise speed but are good reference points. The higher the number, the
higher the tool speed.
The approximate speed at each setting is:
SPEED SETTING

APPROXIMATE SPEED 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 22,000
(Actual OPM’s on your tool may vary.)
Be sure to select the proper speed for your oscillating tool operation. If in doubt about
the proper speed for your operation, test the performance at low speed settings and
gradually increase until a comfortable speed is found.
PLUNGE CUTTING
WARNING:
hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting operations.
WARNING:
Inspect work area for hidden electrical wiring, gas pipes or
water pipes before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in
electrical shock, fire, explosion, or property damage.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
CUT hAZARD. Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is
firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
WARNING:
CUT hAZARD. Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload,
blade breakage may occur.
TO MAkE A CUT:
• Clearly mark the desired cutting area.
• Switch the tool on before applying pressure and slowly feed the blade into the work
piece at the marked location as shown in figure 13.
WARNING:
CUT hAZARD. Ensure the blade is not in contact with cutting
surface before starting saw.
• Advance the blade along the cutting line until cut is completed. Don’t force the tool;
let the blade cut at its own speed.
• Switch the tool off.
NOTE: Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the work piece material and type of cut.
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
