Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. ·Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. ·Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. ·Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. ·When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ·If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. it was designed. ·Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. ·Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. ·Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. ·Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. ·Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Starting and Stopping 1. To start the tool, slide the power switch to reveal "I". 2. The workpiece LED will light. Press the button to turn the workpiece LED on and off. 3. To stop the tool, slide the power switch to reveal "O". Ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before laying the tool down. Selecting the Speed WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, only use saw blades rated for the oper- ating speed setting of the tool. The strokes per minute (SPM) of the tool can be changed by turning the speed dial. The numbers 1 through 5 and A (Auto- controlled start) are printed on the dial with 1 being the slowest speed and 5 the highest speed. Optimum cutting speeds should be determined by the user for specific cutting require- ments. Strokes per minute may be adjusted when the tool is running or stopped. Speed Setting SPM 1 800 2 1200 3 1800 4 2500 5 3000 A starts 1500 rises to 3000 5 Adjusting the Orbital Action The amount of orbital action may be adjusted with the orbital action selector lever. In general, a large orbital action (4) should be used with soft materials and a no orbital action (0) should be used with hard materials. When a smooth cut is required no orbit (0) should be used. The optimum orbital action should be determined by the user for their specific cutting requirements. Orbital action may be adjusted when the tool is running or stopped. Material Orbital Action Wood 0-4 Metal 0-1 Aluminum 0-1 Plastic 0-2 Smooth Cut 0 WARNING To reduce the electric shock risk and of explosion, property dam- age, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when mak- ing blind or plunge cuts. Plunge Cutting Plunge cuts can be made into soft materials without a pre-drilled hole. Harder materials require a starter hole with a diameter slightly over the width of the blade. To make a plunge cut: 1. Set the orbital action selec- tor lever to 0. 2. Make sure nothing below the intended cut area will be damaged. 3. Without turning the tool on, place the front edge of the Making the Cut 1. Set the stroke and orbital action according to the material to be cut. 2. Position the tool with the front part of the shoe on the workpiece and start the tool. 3. Hold the tool firmly against the workpiece and guide it along the desired cutting line. Do not feed into the work too hard, light pressure on the saw blade will achieve the optimum cutting speed. Special Cutting Techniques 1. Straight cuts -- To obtain a perfectly straight cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the workpiece or use the rip guide (accessory). 2. Bevel cuts -- adjust the shoe to the correct angle. 3. Cutting Sheet Metal -- sheet metal may vibrate when being cut. To minimize vibration clamp, the workpiece to a wood base. shoe solidly on the workpiece. 4. Align the blade with the intended cut line, but keep it above the workpiece. 5. Using the front edge of the shoe as a pivot, turn on the tool and gradually lower the blade into the workpiece. 6. When the shoe is flat against the workpiece, normal cutting may take place. WARNING To reduce the start the tool risk of injury, do not with the blade con- tacting the workpiece. Be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they impact the workpiece. 6 MAINTENANCE SERVICE - CANADA WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance.
