must be plugged into a power source before
you activate the light. To turn light ON depress
the work light ON/OFF switch. To turn light off
depress the ON/OFF switch again (Fig. 1).
CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRy
The internal electronic feedback system
provides a "soft start", which will reduce the
stresses that occur from a high torque start.
The system also maintains the selected
speed under load for maximum efficiency.
BLADE ORBIT SELECTOR LEVER
Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained
by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to
suit the material being cut.
The following chart will help you determine
which setting to use for your application. This
chart is intended as a guideline only, and test
cuts in scrap material should be performed
first to determine the best setting.

FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts
up to 45° in either direction (Fig. 6).
Note: before adjusting the footplate, remove
dust shroud and anti-splinter if used.
Open the lock lever to unlock footplate. Push
and hold the footplate firmly towards the back
of tool as shown. While holding the footplate
backwards tilt footplate to desired angle on
bevel scale, then release pressure on footplate
so it engages into detent at desired angle (Fig. 6).
Your tool has detent slots the footplate will
engage at 0° & 45°, and there are additional
position marks for 15°, 22.5° and 30° angles.
Close the lock lever slowly to assure that
footplate is locked at the desired angle.
