<Sawing curved lines>
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade
mentioned in Page 22 for the saw blade since it is
tough and hardly breaks.
CAUTION
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material
into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast
feed may break the blade.
<Plunge cutting>
With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on
plywood panels and thin board materials. You can
carry out plunge cutting quite easily with the saw
blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 22, 23,
24.
NOTE
If the base is set to the position closest to the tool
body, it becomes easier to make starter holes.
Base
Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as
possible. We recommend for this purpose that
you use BI-METAL Blade 725362 mentioned in
Page 22.
Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation
and observe the following procedures.
(1) Press the lower part of the base against the material.
Pull the trigger switch while keeping the tip of the saw
blade apart from the material. (Fig. 22)
(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade
little by little. (Fig. 23)
(3) Hold the body fi rmly until the saw blade completely
cuts into the material. (Fig. 24)

CAUTION
● Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This
can easily damage the blade.
● Never pull the Trigger switch while the tip of the
saw blade is pressed against the material. If you
do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it
collides with the material.
● Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly
while holding the body fi rmly. If you apply any
unreasonable force to the saw blade during
the cutting operation, the blade can easily be
damaged.
4. How to use the LED light (Fig. 25)
The LED light will light the area at the tip of the tool
when the trigger switch is drawn.
The LED light goes out after releasing the trigger
switch.

● Do not expose directly your eye to the light by
looking into the light.
If your eye is continuously exposed to the light,
your eye will be hurt.
● Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of
the LED light with a soft cloth, being careful not
to scratch the lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result
