TRIGGER SWITCH
(Model JS572E only)
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger
switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed
can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum
SPM as set on the variable speed dial by the
pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release

Regardless of the pressure applied on the
trigger, the tool will not operate any faster than
maximum speed setting selected on the
variable speed dial.
"LOCK-ON" BUTTON (Model JS572E only)
The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of

CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRy
The internal electronic feedback system
provides a "soft start", which will reduce the
stresses that occur from a high torque start.
The system also maintains the selected
speed under load for maximum efficiency.
BLADE ORBIT SELECTOR LEVER
Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained
by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to
suit the material being cut.
The following chart will help you determine
which setting to use for your application. This
chart is intended as a guideline only, and test
cuts in scrap material should be performed
first to determine the best setting.

chip blower to help keep the cutting line clear
of chips.
By adjusting the chip blower lever the force
of the discharge air may be altered as
follows;
