You can use both jig saw blades (B type) and recipro
saw blades according to your work. Insert the saw blade
straight into the blade clamp and tighten it by hex
wrench. Pull the saw blade lightly to make sure that the
saw blade does not fall off during operation.
To remove the saw blade, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.10
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Always press the shoe firmly against the
workpiece during operation. If the shoe is held
away from the workpiece during operation, strong
vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing
the blade to snap dangerously.
•
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
flying chips when cutting metal.
•
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
which conforms with current national standards.
•
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause
premature blade wear.
Fig.11
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the saw blade into light
contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove
using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to
continue cutting.

NOTE:
•
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
