Speed adjusting dial
► Fig.6: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the speed
adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 5 and
the lowest speed at 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the work-
piece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed may differ
with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In general,
higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but
the service life of the jig saw blade will be reduced.

Mild steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum
Plastics
NOTICE:
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.
Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.
Soft start
The soft-start function minimizes start-up shock, and
makes the tool start smoothly.
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 no-load rotation
To reduce the vibration and align the jig saw blade with the
cutting line easily, the tool automatically reduces the rota-
tion speed until the tool starts cutting the workpiece when
the speed adjusting dial is set at 2 or higher. Once the tool
starts cutting the workpiece, the tool speed reaches the
preset speed and keeps the speed until the tool stops.
NOTE: When the temperature is low, this function
may not be available.
Disabling or enabling the soft no-load
rotation function
To disable or enable the soft no-load rotation function,
follow the steps below.
1. Make sure that the tool is turned off.
2. Set the speed adjusting dial to "1".
3.
Press the lock/unlock button to turn on the tool.
4.
Set the speed adjusting dial to "5" by turning it,

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing jig saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the jig saw blade, resulting in a serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly. Insufficient tightening of the jig saw blade may
cause the blade breakage or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use only B type jig saw blades.
Using blades other than B type causes insufficient
tightening of the jig saw blade, resulting in a serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
When you remove the jig saw
blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the
top of the jig saw blade or the tips of workpiece.
Before installing the jig saw blade, make sure that the
blade clamp lever is in the released position.
To install the jig saw blade, insert the jig saw blade (teeth
facing forward) into the jig saw blade holder. The blade
clamp lever moves to the fixed position and the jig saw blade
is locked. Make sure that the back edge of the jig saw blade
fits into the roller. Pull the jig saw blade lightly to make sure
that the jig saw blade does not fall off during operation.

not installed completely. Do not press the blade
clamp lever by hand to the fixed position. It may
damage the tool.
