APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hard wood)
Cutting masonite and plastic
Cutting drywall
Cutting metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, alu-
minum, brass, and copper
SELECTING BLADES
Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to
obtain the best performance from the saw. Select the blade
based on the application and on the material you wish to
cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster
cut and prolong the life of the blade.
Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically
used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are
better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for
plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals.
WARNING:
This saw should not be used for pruning or with a
pruning blade. Failure to heed this warning could
cause loss of control and can result in possible
serious injury.
INSTALLING/REMOvING BLADE
See Figure 2, page 10.
Unplug the saw.
Rotate the blade clamp counterclockwise and hold to
open.
Insert saw blade until it is fully seated.
NOTE:
Blade can be installed with teeth facing either up
or down.
Release the blade clamp to secure.
To remove the blade, rotate the blade clamp counter-
clockwise.
TURNING THE SAW ON/OFF
See Figure 3, page 10.
To turn the saw on:
Depress the switch trigger.
To turn the saw off:
Release the switch trigger.
vARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 3, page 10.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with de-
creased trigger pressure.
WARNING:
Cutting into electrical wiring in walls can cause
metal surfaces of the saw to become electrically
live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting into
a wall; grasp only the insulated gripping surfaces
provided on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical
wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are
not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.
ORBITAL ACTION SELECTOR
See Figure 4, page 10.
Use the orbital action selector to select either a linear stroke
or orbital cutting action.
NOTE:
Do not use the orbital action setting when using a
metal cutting blade.
For linear cutting, turn the selector to the “OFF” position.
For orbital cutting action, turn the selector to the “ON”
position.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the tool, always allow motor
to come to a complete stop before using the orbital action
selector.
