ASSEMBLY:

C

aution: 

All assembling, mounting, disassembling 

and removing should be done with the saw turned off. 

Remove the power cord from the power supply.

TOOLBOD & CONTROLLER 

C

aution:

 BluCave offer both AC (powered) and DC 

(cordless) operated Controllers and ToolBods.   
AC ToolBods will only operate with an AC Controller 
and DC ToolBods will only operate with a DC Controller.  
For simple identification look for the appropriate 
colour marking with green representing AC and orange 
representing DC.
 

ASSEMBLING: 

Align the fixed hook (Grey) 
of the Controller into the 
corresponding recess on the 
underside of the ToolBod.  
Once located and engaged, 
close the two faces of the 
Controller and ToolBod 

together until they click into place.  (It’s as easy as 
Hook, Swing and Click)  

See Fig. 1.

DISASSEMBLING: 

Ensure the Reciprocating Saw is switched off before 
trying to remove the Controller.  Press the unlock symbol 
located on the Controller and then turn the ToolBod 
away from the Controller. 

FITTING SAW BLADES

Ensure the blade is not damaged and always clean the 
shank thoroughly before fitting.
Ensure the saw is switched off and unplugged.
Rotate the blade holder anti-clockwise to unlock 
and insert the blade with the sharp side facing the  
underside of the ToolBod.  

See fig. 2.  

Ensure the small 

hole on the end of the blade 
is aligned in the blade holder 
so the holding pin will pass 
through it when the blade 
holder is released.
Slowly release the blade 
holder and ensure the blade 
is firmly held in place.

Always test under no load 
to ensure the blade is fitted 
correctly before use.
To remove the blade rotate 
the blade holder anti-
clockwise until the holding 
pin releases it.  

CAUTION:

 The blade may be 

hot to touch after use.   

 

Note:

 Always clean the blades before storing.

ADJUSTING THE SHOE

The pivoting shoe is designed to sit flush against the 
work piece.  It provides a guide for stability and can be 

set at a variety of distances to limit the depth of a cut.  
It can also be positioned to limit the use of any parts of 
the blade that may have lost cutting efficiency.  Pull the 
shoe plate adjustment lever down to release the lock.  

See fig. 3.

  Adjust shoe position.  

See fig. 4.  

Then return 

lever to locked position.  

See fig. 5.

 

OPERATION:

Caution: 

Check that the voltage of your power supply 

matches the specified voltage on the ToolBod 

and

 on 

the Controller. If the voltages of either the Toolbod or 
Controller do not match the power supply voltage do not 
use the unmatched item/s.

Caution: 

Always ensure the cord guard is extended and 

the tool is not used with it in the `storage’ position. See 
AC Controller instructions for details.

Note:

 Always wear a dust mask as harmful dust may be 

generated while working.

SWITCHING ON/OFF 

Ensure the Controller and ToolBod are correctly 
connected and the saw blade is securely in place 
before operating.  Plug the power cord into the power 
supply (and switch it on if it’s switchable).  The blue 
power indicator on the Controller will illuminate once 
connected to the power supply. 
Squeeze the trigger to start the Reciprocating Saw.  
Keep the trigger depressed to keep the saw operating.  
Release the trigger to stop the saw.  
To provide stable speed the power can be locked-on 
by pressing the lock button on the Controller when the 
trigger is completely depressed.  
Squeeze the trigger fully to release the lock-on feature 
then release the trigger to stop the saw.

SPEED

The Reciprocating Saw is a variable speed ToolBod.
As you squeeze the trigger on your Controller the 
speed will vary from slowest to fastest at maximum 
depression. The trigger also has a variable speed dial 
which may be pre-selected before switching on.  
Turn the dial to `A’ for the lowest speed or up to `E’ for 

the highest speed.

Low

 speed is ideal for delicate materials when minimum 

power and greater control is required. 

Medium

 speed is suitable when a balance of power and 

control is needed. 

High

 speed produces fast cutting when accuracy is not 

critical.
 

STORAGE: 

ToolBods come with their own unique storage dock for 
compact and protective housing inside the BluCave 
Carry Cabinets   

See Fig. 6

 

Warning: 

Reciprocating Saw 

storage dock will only fit in 
the lowest slot of a Carry 
Cabinet.
