OPERATION

TO START AND STOP SAW

1.

Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the

specification plate on the saw. Connect saw to power circuit.

2.

Hold saw firmly Fig. 10 or Fig.10A. Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig. 11, to

start motor. Release trigger to stop motor.

VARIABLE SPEED

The saw is equipped with a variable
speed control switch (A) Fig. 11 (0 to
2900 SPM). As the switch trigger is
squeezed, the speed of the saw
blade increases.

The lower speeds are recommended
for most metal cutting, while the
higher speeds are recommended for
wood. A few practice cuts at various
speeds (on scrap material), will aid
you in choosing the best speed for
obtaining the desired results on your
application.
