See Figure 4.
The saw is equipped with a lock-on feature which is con-
venient when continuous cutting for extended periods of
time is required.
To lock-on:

Depress the switch trigger.
 Push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side
of the handle.
 Release switch trigger.
 Release lock-on button.
To release:
 Depress the switch trigger to release.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the
saw becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage
the lock-on feature immediately.
WARNING:
Before connecting the saw to power supply source,
always check to be sure it is not in lock-on position (de-
press and release switch trigger). Failure to do so could
result in accidental starting of the saw resulting in pos-
sible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on jobs
where the saw may need to be stopped suddenly.
SPLINTER-FREE CUTTING
See Figure 5.
The anti-splintering insert is especially useful when cutting
plywood. It should only be used when making straight cuts
or circle cuts. It is not for bevel cutting or plunge cutting.
NOTE: The non-orbital setting also helps reduce splintering
when cutting plywood.
To attach and remove the anti-splintering insert:

Unplug the saw.
 Set the cutting angle at 0°.
 To attach, slide the insert back onto the tabs on the front
of the base. Make sure it snaps securely into place.
 To remove, grasp the anti-splintering insert and pull
straight out.
VARIAbLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
See Figure 6.
The saw has a variable speed control selector designed to
allow operator control and adjustment of speed and power
limits. The speed and power of the saw can be increased or
decreased by rotating the variable speed control selector in
the direction of the arrows shown in figure 6.
NOTE: Hold the saw in normal operating position and turn the
variable speed control selector to the positive ( + ) symbol to
increase speed and power. Turn to the negative ( − ) symbol
to decrease speed and power.
