INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 1, page 11.
To install:

pack snap in place and battery pack is secured before
beginning operation.
To remove:
Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.
ON-OFF SWITCH AND VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
See Figure 2, page 11.
The variable speed dial delivers higher speed when rotated
to a larger number and slower speed when rotated to a
smaller number.
To turn the tool ON, slide one of the spring loaded switches
on either side of the tool forward. The switch will return to
the original position. To turn it OFF, slide one of the spring
loaded switches on either side of the tool forward and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
See Figure 2, page 11.
The speed selector dial, located under the handle of the tool,
allows the saw to operate at different maximum speeds. The
maximum speed can be adjusted before or during operation.
To change the maximum speed during operation, hold the saw
in a normal operating position, and rotate the speed selector
dial to the desired speed setting. To change the maximum
speed prior to operation, rotate the speed selector dial to
the desired setting and slide the switch button towards the
front of the tool to operate the saw.
SETTING OPERATION
A Saw runs at reduced speeds until blade engages
workpiece. The saw speed will increase
automatically to provide the most efficient cut.
1-2 Slow speeds are ideal when minimum speed
and power is required, for example, starting
cuts.
3-4 Medium speeds are suitable for cutting hard
metals, plastics, and laminates.
5-6 Maximum speeds produce best results when
maximum power is required, for example,
cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum,
brass, and copper may also require high
speeds.
