How to Turn a Sabre Saw On & Off

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Ed Reyes with Master Builders in Tampa, Florida. I am here on behalf of Expert Village and I am going to show you how to use the proper use of sabre saw. The first thing when using this saw you want to concentrate on the trigger. This happens to be a variable speed trigger which means that it will go very slow or it will go very fast. It is ergonomical that your hand can reach underneath and grab it. This black button on top is a locking mechanism which will lock your trigger when you have it on so that you don't have to concentrate on actually pressing the trigger. If you want to do a long cut and you want the consistent speed, you would turn it on and depress the trigger. When you turn the trigger off, you just press on the trigger once and it will automatically unlock and turn the mechanism off. Once again when you are starting with your cut, you want to start very slow so you would depress it slightly to get it started and then speed up your process as you go. "
