Instruction & User Manual
Adjustable Pivoting Shoe Plate
m
To adjust the Pivoting Shoe Plate (2), press
the Shoe Release Button (3) and slide the
Pivoting Shoe Plate in (or out) to the desired
setting. Disengage the Shoe Release Button
and pull on the Pivoting Shoe Plate to check
it is securely engaged.
Sawing
m
Before cutting any type of material, ensure it
is properly secured to prevent slippage and
potential accidents.
m
Locate the adjustable shoe plate of the
reciprocating saw against the work piece at a
suitable angle.
m
Place the blade in contact with the work
piece, operate the safety interlock and
gradually depress the ON/OFF Trigger.
m
When the saw is at the correct speed, apply
pressure to enable cutting to commence.
Overload protection
m
When the power tool is overloaded
(abnormal high current), the integral
electronic control system will automatically
protect the motor by switching off the
power supply.
m
Release the ON/OFF Trigger and wait one
or two seconds for the electronics to reset,
then restart the power tool.
Do not hold the work piece with your
hands.
WARNING!
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Switch off the power tool and disconnect
the power (remove battery/unplug) before
cleaning and maintenance. This helps avoid
the risk of electric shocks and accidental
starting.
WARNING!
m
Wipe the power tool with a dry or damp
cloth.
Do not use a wet cloth.
Do not
use detergent that contains solvent or
corrosive, abrasive additives.
This risks
damaging the surfaces of the power tool.
m
Clear the power tool vents and the blade
clamp assembly of dust and dirt after each
use.
Do not clean ventilation holes by
inserting sharp objects in them, such
as screwdrivers and other similar
objects.
m
Stubborn contamination in areas hard to
access can be removed with compressed air
(max 3. bar).
m
Regularly check all fasteners, screws and
bolts to make sure that they are tight.
Tighten any loose screws immediately or
serious injury could occur.
Brush inspection
m
Brush inspection and replacement should
only be performed by an authorised JCB
service centre.
Ensure where possible that the Pivoting
Shoe Plate is in good contact with the work
piece during cutting. This will help prevent
the reciprocating saw from ‘kick-back’ types
of issues.
