Blade Selection - Flex FX2271 Manual Del Operador

VARIABLE-SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable-speed
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or
"OFF" by depressing or releasing the variable-
speed trigger switch.
The variable-speed trigger switch delivers
higher speed with increased trigger pressure
and lower speed with decreased trigger
pressure.
LED LIGHT (FIG. 12)
Your tool is equipped with an LED, located
below the blade clamp on the tool. This LED
provides additional light on the surface of the
workpiece for operation in lower-light areas.
The LED will automatically turn on with a slight
squeeze on the variable-speed trigger switch
before the tool starts running, and will turn off
approximately 10 seconds after the variable-
speed trigger switch is released.
The LED will rapidly flash when the tool and/
or battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot.
The internal sensors will turn the tool off if the
tool and/or battery pack are overloaded. Rest
the tool for a while or place the tool and battery
pack separately under air flow to cool them.
The LED light will flash more slowly to indicate
that the battery is at low-battery capacity.
Recharge the battery pack.

BLADE SELECTION

To obtain the best performance from the saw,
it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be
cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch

If the LED fails to light up when you switch
on the tool, or it turns off suddenly during
operation, please contact customer service or
an authorized service center for assistance.
(TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth per inch are better for cutting
metal or plastic.
We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and
soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals.
