METAL CUTTING
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending
upon type of blade used and the metal to be cut. Use a finer
blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous
materials. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood
to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut without
excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember not to
force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly
blade breakage (Fig. N).
TEMPERATURE CUT OUT
When used as intended, the reciprocating saw cannot be subject to overload. But
running continuously at full load for a long time will cause the battery pack to overheat.
If the allowable battery temperature range is exceeded, the saw will automatically stop
operating and will not restart until it has cooled to a safe level.
LOW VOLTAGE CUT OUT
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low voltage cut out feature within the
circuitry. The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage drops below a pre-
set value. This feature automatically stops the tool from operating. When this condition
occurs you will need to either insert another battery pack into the tool or recharge the
existing battery pack.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
BATTERIES
The battery pack is equipped with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The duration of
use from each charge will depend on the type of work performed.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life.
Like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble the battery pack
or attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of the batteries, especially when wearing
rings and jewellery, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, read and understand the instruction manual.
• It is good practice to unplug the charger and remove the lithium-ion battery pack
when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
• The saw will not restart until the battery pack has cooled.
• DO NOT force-cool the pack in any way. Do not place in refrigerator
or freezer. To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the
battery pack from the tool and place the battery pack in a free air
environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.
• Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging the battery
or installing another battery (with charge) will lead to saw restarting
and then stopping again, after only a few seconds of operation.
WARNING!
• To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should
be performed by a qualified service technician.
• It is not recommended to use compressed dry air to
clean the tool. If cleaning with compressed air is the only
method available, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields. If the operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
• Do not at any time allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the
saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut should extend beyond
the edge of the cut to be made.
NOTE:
It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you
should spread a thin film of oil or other lubricant along the line
ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life.
