Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 6)
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted by turning the
speed adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 6
and the lowest speed at 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece 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 blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6
and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.

• Soft start
The soft-start function minimizes start-up shock, and
makes the tool start smoothly.
• Soft no-load rotation
To reduce the vibration and align the jig saw blade with
the cutting line easily, the tool automatically reduces
the rotation speed until the tool starts cutting the
workpiece when the speed adjusting dial is set at 3 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 the soft no-load rotation

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 "6" by turning it, and
then set it to "1" by turn it back.
The lamp blinks twice to indicate that the soft no-load

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the 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 blade or the workpiece immediately
after operation; they may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
• Tighten the saw blade securely. Failure to do so may
cause a serious injury.
• When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt
your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of
workpiece. (Fig. 7)
Before installing the blade, make sure that the blade
holder is in the released position.
To install the blade, insert the blade (teeth facing forward)
