[. . . ] Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. [. . . ] to install the blade , loosen the bolt counterclockwise on the blade holder with the hex wrench. With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into the blade holder as far as it will go. 2 CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. 3 The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500 and 3, 100 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. refer to the table to select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed 6 6 When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the figure to keep it from being lost. 13 Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench and slide the base all the way back. 14 For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter. 15 You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows. (1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. (2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly. (3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface. 8 CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles even when operating the tool with the dust cover lowered. Failure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury. â· Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. forcing the tool may cause a slanted cutting surface and blade breakage. Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line. 16 To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges.
