FEATURES

KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself 
with all operating features and safety rules.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

The saw is equipped with a lock-off button which reduces 
the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is 
located  on  the  handle  above  the  switch  trigger. You  must 
depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. 
The lock resets each time the trigger is released. You can 
depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

SWITCH TRIGGER

The reciprocating saw has a variable speed switch trigger 
that delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure.

VARIABLE SPEED

This  tool  has  a  variable  speed  switch  that  delivers  higher 
speed with increased trigger pressure.

BLADE CLAMP LEVER

This saw has the covenience of a blade clamp lever which 
is located on the side of the saw. Opening the lever releases 
the blade clamp allowing you to remove an old blade and 
insert a new blade without the need for seperate tools.
