Auto Select™ dial (fig. F - KS801SE and KS901SE only)

The KS801SE and KS901SE are fitted with a unique Auto Select™ Dial (6) to set the speed and the pendulum action for various

Sawing

Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.

The shoe plate (4) should be held firmly against the material

being cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce

vibration and minimise blade breakage.

Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting

the cut.

Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing

When you require a straight cut with extra precision, use the

straight assist blade. The KS901SE/PE is supplied with this

blade as standard and it can be purchased as an optional extra

for use with the KS801SE (part number X21001-XJ).
