The variable speed feature allows the saw to operate at speeds that can be increased by rotating the dial from 1 to 6. The dial is conveniently located on the handle, allowing operator control of blade speed. Follow these directions to adjust the speed. To increase the speed: Turn the dial to a higher setting. To decrease the speed: Turn the dial to a lower setting. SELECTING BLADES Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to obtain the best performance from your saw. Select the blade based on the application and on the material you wish to cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and prolong the life of the blade. Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals. Fig 3. INSTALLING BLADES The toolless blade change system eliminates the need for tools when changing the blade. WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. See Figure 4. Follow these directions to install blades. Insert the blade fully, tooth side down. [. . . ] To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. Always keep firm pressure on the base to hold it securely against the workpiece. Fig 7. RYOBI TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRALIA PTY. LTD.
