ENGLISH

Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far 

as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes 

the recipro saw blade. Make sure that the recipro saw 

blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull 

it out.

CAUTION:

 

If you do not insert the recipro saw 

blade deep enough, the recipro saw blade may be 
ejected unexpectedly during operation.

 This can 

be extremely dangerous.

CAUTION:

 

Keep hands and fingers away from 

the lever during the switching operation.

 Failure to 

do so may cause personal injuries.

To remove the recipro saw blade, rotate the blade 

clamp lever in the direction of the arrow fully. The reci

-

pro saw blade is removed and the blade clamp lever is 

fixed at the released position 

.

NOTE:

 If you remove the recipro saw blade without 

rotating the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not 

be locked in the released position 

. In this case, 

rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make 

sure that the blade clamp lever locked at the released 
position 

.

NOTE:

 If the lever is positioned inside the tool, switch 

on the tool just a second to let the blade clamp out. 

Switch off and unplug the tool from the mains before 
working on the blade clamp lever.

Hex wrench storage

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the

OPERATION

CAUTION:

 

Always hold the tool firmly with 

one hand on insulation cover and the other on the 
switch handle.

CAUTION:

 

Always press the shoe firmly 

against the workpiece during operation.

 If the 

shoe is removed or held away from the workpiece 

during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will 

be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously.

CAUTION:

 

Always wear gloves to protect 

your hands from hot flying chips when cutting 

metal.

CAUTION:

 

Be sure to always wear suitable 

eye protection which conforms with current 
national standards.

CAUTION:

 

Always use a suitable coolant 

(cutting oil) when cutting metal.

 Failure to do so will 

cause premature blade wear.

Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not 

allow the tool to bounce. Bring the recipro 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.
