ADJUSTMENT
This tool functions as a combination jigsaw and reciprocating saw. Use the pivot release lever (4) to
change the configuration.
Lift up the pivot release lever fully until it cannot be lifted further. (See Fig. C)
Rotate the front portion of the tool into any of the SIX positions (0, 18, 36, 54, 72 and 90deg) (See
Fig. D). Restore the pivot release lever(4).
In Position I (0deg), this tool can be used as a reciprocating saw.
In Position VI (90deg), this tool can be used as a jigsaw.
WARNING!
When adjusting the tool, you can only hold the foot plate (9) as shown in Fig.E1. Never hold
the pivot head as shown in Fig. E2, E3.
WARNING!
• To avoid being pinched, keep hands away from the hinge when changing positions.
• To avoid tool being turned on accidentally, remove the battery pack from the tool.
REPLACING / INSERTING THE SAW BLADE
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery pack from the machine.
The blade should extend past the foot plate and the thickness of the workpiece during the cut.
Select the blade best suitable for the material to be cut and use the shortest blade suitable for the
thickness of the material.
WARNING! Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur if the blade does not extend past the foot
plate and the workpiece during the cut. Increased risk of personal injury, as well as damage to
the foot plate and workpiece may result.
CAUTION: Keep your hands away from the lock-off button to prevent switch actuation before
making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories.
- INSERTING THE SAW BLADE (SEE FIG. F-H)
Wear protective gloves when assembling the saw blade. Contact with the saw blade can lead
to injuries. You can only use the t-shank blade type shown in Fig F.
The machine is equipped with a tool-free blade holder (7). This makes possible easy and quick
changing of the saw blade without any additional tools.
Rotate the blade holder ring counter-clockwise and hold in position. Fully insert the blade into the
blade holder (7) slot with blade teeth facing forward then release the blade holder ring, which will
self-rotate and clamp over the top of the blade. (See Fig. G1, G2)
Check that the blade is securely fastened by attempting to manually take out the blade. If installed
correctly, the blade should not be taken out.
For best cutting results, use a saw blade suited to the material and cut quality desired.
