This system makes changing blades simple and fast. Insert the saw blade (teeth in cutting direction) until it latches in the plunger. When inserting the saw blade, the back of the blade must rest in the groove of the guide roller (Fig. 2). Note: If the saw blade cannot be inserting into the plunger, the slots of the blade holder are not positioned as shown, push the blade ejector lever briefly to the front and release. To change the saw blade, push the ejector lever to the center stop; this releases the saw blade and it is ejected. When changing the blade, tool should be held so that the blade is safely ejected. FIG. 2 EJECTOR LEVER PLUNGER GUIDE ROLLER BLADE GUIDE ROLLER ATTACHING NON-MARRING OVERSHOE Your tool is equipped with a protective plastic overshoe that protects finer surfaces. To attach, hook overshoe over front of metal footplate and snap into place at rear of footplate (Fig. 3). ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT To minimize splintering of the top surface of the material being cut, place the anti-splinter insert in the blade opening of the footplate, or the non-marring overshoe. Note: This insert will only work with blades that have ground sides such as T301CD, TB1B, T101D, and T101DP. FOOTPLATE ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT NON-MARRING OVERSHOE FIG. 3 Operating Instructions SWITCH LOCK The switch lock is designed to prevent accidental starts. To operate switch, press the switch lock button with your thumb to the unlock symbol. To lock the switch, press the switch lock button to the lock symbol (Fig. 1). VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED TRIGGER SWITCH 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 nameplate SPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1). BRAKE When the trigger is released it activates the electrical brake to stop the blade quickly. This feature is especially useful when making repetitive cuts. -8-
