checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
•
removal of the battery cartridge.
To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
•
the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of
the cartridge.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
•
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
Do not use force when inserting the battery
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Selecting the cutting action
Fig.2
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line
(up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action
thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and
greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.

CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

Speed adjusting dial
Fig.4
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 2,800 (Model 4331D), 500 and 2,600 (Model
4333D) strokes per minute by turning the adjusting dial.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to 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.
