(1) Fasten a workpiece firmly before operation. (Fig. 23)
(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine
oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine
oil, apply grease over the workpiece.
CAUTION:
The service life of the saw blade will be drastically
shortened if you don't use machine oil.
3. Cutting lumber
When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece
is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 24)
CAUTION:
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw
blade when cutting. Also remember to press the
base against the lumber firmly.
4. Sawing curved lines
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade
mentioned in Page 20 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.
5. Plunge cutting
With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on
plywood panels and thin board materials. You can
carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw
blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 26,
16
Fig. 23
Fig. 24
Fig. 28, and Fig. 30. Use the saw blade that is as
short and thick as possible. We recommend for this
purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132
mentioned in Page 20. Be sure to use caution during
the cutting operation and observe the following
procedures.
(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base
against the material. Pull the switch trigger while
keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the
material. (Fig. 25, Fig. 26)
(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade
little by little. (Fig. 27, Fig. 28)
(3) Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely
cuts into the material. (Fig. 29, Fig. 30)

CAUTION:
Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This
can easily damage the blade.
Never pull the switch trigger 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 firmly. If you apply any
unreasonable force to the saw blade during the
cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.
6. About Remaining Battery Indicator
When pressing the remaining battery indicator
switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights
and the battery remaining power can be checked.
(Fig. 31) When releasing your finger from the
remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining
battery indicator lamp goes off. The table 5 shows
the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and
the battery remaining power.
