clamp and then hold it in place.
b. Use the other hand to insert the saw blade into
the blade clamp as far as possible.
c. Release the tool-less blade clamp sleeve, and the
blade should be locked in place automatically.
d. Try to push in and pull-out blade to check
whether it is locked correctly.
NOTICE: The blade may be installed with the teeth
pointing up or down, according to the needs of the
cutting operation.
To remove the saw blade:
a. Use one hand to depress the fin on the sleeve of
the tool-less blade clamp to rotate the sleeve in
the direction of the arrow marked on the blade
clamp and then hold it in place.
b. Remove the saw blade from the blade clamp.
c. Release the tool-less blade clamp sleeve.
Use protective gloves when
removing the saw blade from the
tool, or first allow the saw blade to cool down. The
saw blade may be hot after prolonged use.
PIVOT SHOE ADJUSTMENT
See Fig. 8, 9
Your tool is equipped with a pivot shoe that can slide
in and out to adjust the effective stroke length for
maximum control and longer blade life.
a.
Depress the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Loosen the shoe-release screws by turning them
counterclockwise with the hex key (supplied) and
slide the shoe to the desired position.
c. Tighten the shoe-release screws by turning them
clockwise with the hex key (supplied) to lock the
shoe in the desired position.
To avoid injury and damage, do not
operate the saw without the pivot
shoe in place. The blade clamp may strike against the
workpiece and damage the reciprocating
mechanism.
Make sure that the front end of the
blade extends through the shoe for
the entire stroke length (Fig. 9). Do not use specialty
blades that are very short or those with significant
tilt. The blade must not contact the shoe. A blade
that is too short or is tilted could jam inside the shoe
and then snap.
PIVOTING THE SHOE
See Fig. 10
The shoe pivots to provide maximum control when it
is aligned against the surface being cut.
a.
Depress the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Firmly hold the saw and then pivot the shoe to
the desired angle, while taking care to avoid
contact with the blade.
c. Reinstall the battery and prepare to cut.
GENERAL CUTTING
See Fig. 11
Never use the woodcutting blade
for cutting metals. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
Before attaching the battery pack
onto the tool, always check to
determine that the switch performs properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Hold the tool only by the plastic
handle and the insulated grip area
to help prevent electrical shock. When sawing into
walls or floors you may encounter electrical wiring.
Sawing into a "live" wire will conduct electricity into
the tool.
a.
Depress the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped
in place to keep it from slipping or moving while
cutting.
c. Install the appropriate type and size of blade for
the workpiece material and size.
d. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make sure
that the blade will extend beyond the shoe and
through the workpiece at all times.
e. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to expose
unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
f. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that
the blade will not contact another surface.
g. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal,
apply cutting oil to the line.
h. Attach the battery pack to the reciprocating saw.
i. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Make sure
to keep your hands on the insulated gripping
areas only.
j. Depress the lock-off button to the unlock position
and squeeze the variable-speed trigger switch to
start the saw and bring it to the maximum
desired cutting speed before applying the blade
to the workpiece.
k. Place the shoe firmly on the workpiece while
cutting. Use only enough steady pressure on the
blade to keep the saw cutting. Do not force the
tool.
l. Reduce pressure as the blade comes to the end
of the cut.
m. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before
removing the blade from the workpiece.
NOTICE: When sawing fiberglass, plaster, wallboard,
or spackling compound, clean the motor vents
frequently with a vacuum or with compressed air.
These materials are highly abrasive and may
accelerate the wear on motor bearings and brushes.
Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
NOTICE: Cutting speeds should vary with the
