WARNING: 

When changing a blade immediately after operation, allow the blade 

to cool before removing to avoid possible burning. 

 

 

PIVOT SHOE 

 

The pivot shoe adjusts backwards and forwards to allow the entire length of the blade, 
exposing different areas of teeth on the blade, or for special applications requiring a low 
clearance. 

 

 

WARNING: To avoid injury and damage, do not operate the saw without the pivot 

shoe. The spindle may strike against the workpiece and damage the reciprocating 
mechanism.  

 

 

ON/OFF SWITCH AND VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (FIG. 5) 

 

 

Your reciprocating saw is equipped with 
a  trigger  switch  (1)  to  turn  the  saw  on 
and off, and to control the speed.

 

1.  To start the saw, squeeze the trigger 

switch (1). 

2.  To  stop  the  saw,  release  the trigger 

switch  and  allow  it  to  return  to  the 
OFF position. 

3.  To  vary  the  speed,  simply  increase 

or  decrease  the  pressure  on  the 
trigger switch. The tighter the trigger 
switch  is  squeezed,  the  higher  the 
speed. 

 

 

GENERAL CUTTING 

 

 

WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch is 

actuated properly and returns to the off position when released. 

 

 

WARNING: Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and the insulated grip area, 

which help prevent electrical shock. When sawing into walls or floors you may encounter 
electrical wiring. Sawing into a “live” wire will cause electric shock. 

 

 

1.  Make sure the workpiece is firmly anchored. Clamp the workpiece to prevent slipping 

or moving while cutting.
