Variable Speed Switch (Fig. M)
To turn the tool ON, squeeze the trigger switch
1
. To turn
the tool OFF release the trigger.
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed switch which
enables you to select the best speed for a particular
application. The farther you squeeze the trigger, the faster
the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for cutting tight
curves or following precise guideline. Higher speeds
are better for gradual curves and straight line cuts. For
maximum tool life, use lower speeds only for short periods
of time.

Shearing (Fig. N)
WARNING: Cut Hazard. NEVER have any part of
your body near the blades. Serious personal injury
may occur.
WARNING: Cut Hazard. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, DO NOT use the shear with
any kind of accessory or attachment.
WARNING: Cut Hazard. Wear gloves when handling
sheet metal. The edges are sharp and can cause
serious personal injury.
DCS491, DCS494
For accurate work, always clamp or anchor the material to
be cut. Line up one edge of the tool’s middle blade with the
cutting line and advance blades into the material without
forced effort or unnecessary pressure. A little practice will
enable you to determine what forward pressure gives you
the smoothest cutting. It is important to keep the lower
surfaces of the side blades flat on the material being cut.
When cutting curves, do not tilt the tool; keep the side
blades flat and level.The head of the shear will swivel
to afford better access to the material. For best cutting
efficiency, keep blades sharp.

DCS496
For best results, always clamp or anchor the material to
be cut. Position the shear so that the material is between
the two jaws. It is best to practice using the tool on scrap
material in order to determine the best pressure and angle
at which to hold the tool for the application. When not
cutting from the edge of the material, drilling a starter hole
should ease positioning of the shear. Wear gloves when
handling sheet metal. The edges are sharp and can cause
injury.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
