CAUTION
● Do not subject the switch panel to shock or
damage.
● Select mode while the trigger switch is released.
Failure to do so could result in malfunction.
The blade's stroke volume can be adjusted to any level
depending on how much the unit's switch is pulled in.
Also, the maximum number of strokes can be selected
with the mode selector switch. The more the unit's switch
is pulled, the higher the number of strokes.
When starting a cut, begin cutting with low strokes (slow
speed) to accurately cut the desired position. Once you
have the desired cut, raise the number of strokes (high
speed) and fi nish cutting.
Mode selector switch
Switch panel
Once you install the battery and switch on the power, you
can change modes with each press of the mode selector
switch. (Fig. 24)
○ Speed change mode allows the number of maximum
strokes to be switched between 3 levels: low speed,
medium speed and high speed.
With speed change mode, the set number of
maximum strokes will be maintained even if there is a
change in load.
○ With auto mode, electricity consumption and noise
can be suppressed by lowering the number of
maximum strokes during no-load motor operation.
Auto mode automatically increases the number of
revolutions when the load becomes heavier during
operation. When the load becomes lighter, the
number of revolutions is automatically reduced.
Table 6 shows the lamp status and speed.
