VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool t o a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user - as well as damage t o the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source w i t h voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful t o the motor. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1. Avoid cutting nails.
Installing or removing the saw blade CAUTION: .Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade. .Always clean off the blade and blade holder before installingthe blade. Chips or foreign matt& on them may cause insufficient securing of the blade, possibly resulting in blade breakage or serious injury. 0 Do not switch on the tool with the clamp protruding from the blade holder. The clamp, blade holder or roller may be damaged. For 4304T 1.
For 4305T 1. Press the button to raise the blade installing knob. 2. Rotate the blade installing knob in the 0 direction and the clamp on the blade holder will open. Open the clamp a l i t t l e more than the thickness of the blade to be installed. 3. With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the back edge of the blade f i t s properly into the groove of the roller. 4.
Switch action For 4304T CAUTION : Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and move the lock lever backward. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Refer to the table a t right t O Select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced. Workpiece to be cut Number on adjusting dial Mild Steel Stainless Steel Aluminum Plastics CAUTION : Adjust the speed adjusting dial only within the range of numbers 1 through 6.
Flush cutting Loosen the base securing lever and slide the base all the way back. Then tighten the base securing lever to secure the base. I cutouts Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B. A) Boring a starting hole: For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from and edge, pre-drill starting hole more than 12 mm (15/32") in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole and hold the tool firmly against the workpiece to start your cut.
Finishing edges To trim edges or make slight dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges. I Metal cutting Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant. Plastic base plate Use the plastic base plate when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces from damage.
Guide rule (rip fence; optional accessory) When cutting widths of under 150 mm (5-29/32") repeatedly, use of the guide rule will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To install it, loosen the bolt on the front of the base. Slip in the guide rule and secure the bolt. Guide rule Circular guide (optional accessory) Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth cutting of circles under 200" (7-7/8") in radius. Insert the pin through the center hole and secure it with the threaded knob.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. Cleaning t h e clamp on the blade holder If chips or foreign matter get into the clamp on the blade holder, clean out the clamp after removing it from the blade holder. To remove the clamp, rotate the blade installing lever (for 4304T) or knob (for 4305T) in the blade loosening direction as far as it will go.
