CAUTION:
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start feature
Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting
shock.
Lighting up the lamps For 4350FCT only
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of
lightdirectly.
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger
to turn it off.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
Becareful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may
lower the illumination.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade (Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering
tothe blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may
cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a
serious personal injury.
• Do
not
touch
the
immediatelyafter operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
• Tighten the saw blade securely. Failure to do so
maycause a serious injury.
• When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to
hurtyour fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of
workpiece.
To install the blade, open the tool opener to the position
shown in the figure. (Fig. 4)
Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the
blade clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade
can not be seen. (Fig. 5)
Return the tool opener to its original position.
After installing, always make sure that the blade is
securely held in place by trying to pull it out.
CAUTION:
• Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it
maycause tool damage.

blade
or
the
workpiece
To remove the blade, open the tool opener to the
position shown in the figure. Pull the saw blade out
toward the base. (Fig. 6)
NOTE:
• Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 7)
When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently
stored.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the main
handlewhen performing the tool. If necessary, the front
part of the tool may be supported by the other hand.
• Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
Failureto do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in
a serious injury.
Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Then rest the tool base flat on the workpiece and
gently move the tool forward along the previously
marked cutting line. When cutting curves, advance the
tool very slowly. (Fig. 8)
Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right). (Fig. 9) Loosen
the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench.
Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in the center
of the bevel slot in the base. (Fig. 10) Tilt the base until
the desired bevel angle is obtained. The V-notch of the
gear housing indicates the bevel angle by graduations.
Then tighten the bolt firmly to secure the base. (Fig. 11)
Front flush cuts (Fig. 12)
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench, and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole:
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in
diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your
cut.
(Fig. 13)
B) Plunge cutting:
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
withthe blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface. (Fig. 14)
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge
ofthe base will not move when you switch on the
