IV. OPERATION
1. Push the switch lock lever down, pull
the power switch.
• The speed increases with the amount
of depression of the power switch.
2. Once cutting is finished, release the
power switch.
3. Check that the temperature of the
blade has dropped sufficiently, and
then remove the blade.
Cutting
NOTE:
• Check that there are no obstacles to
cut underneath workpiece.
• Check that there are no objects such
as nails in the material to be cut.
If the blade comes into contact with any
such objects during cutting, a strong
reaction force will be generated and
severe injury may occur.
• Do not place your hand on the object
in the direction cutting is to take place.
If this is not observed, there is a risk
of injury.
• Do not touch the jigsaw blade
immediately after cutting.
If this is not observed, burns may occur.
Cutting along marked lines
1. Place the object to be cut onto the
base, and align the blade with the
marked line.
• Do not touch the blade against the
object to be cut before pulling the
power switch.
2. Pull the power switch, wait until the
speed has stabilized, and then place
the base against the object to be cut
and cut along the marked lines.
• When cutting complex shapes such
as shapes with many small curves,
reduce the cutting speed and the
turning speed.
