REAR HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
(Fig. 3)
ENSURE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE
ADJUSTING REAR HANDLE POSITION.
MAKE SURE THAT THE SAW BLADE DOES NOT REST
ON OR TOUCH ANY OBJECTS WHEN THE MACHINE IS
SWITCHED ON.
BEFORE USING THE RECIPROCATING SAW, MAKE
SURE THE SAW BLADE AND SHOE ARE SECURED.
MAKE SURE THE SAW BLADE DOES NOT TOUCH THE
WORK PIECE UNTIL THE SAW REACHES ITS MAXIMUM
SPEED. FAILURE TO DO SO WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF
CONTROL AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
USE OF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE THAT CAUSES
BENDING OR TWISTING OF THE BLADE MAY CAUSE
THE BLADE TO BREAK.
The rear handle of this tool can be rotated around the main
body of the motor and locked at three different angles (+90 0 ,
0
0
, -90
0
) so that you can operate the tool in the most
comfortable position.
While pressing back the rear handle lock release button (6),
turn the rear handle to desired angle and release the rear
handle lock release button.
LED WORKLIGHT
(Fig. 4)
When the power cord is plugged into the mains power outlet,
LED worklight (4) will shine.
This LED worklight can assist in better vision when working in
darker areas.
The LED worklight will turn off when the power cord is
disconnected from the mains power supply.
GENERAL CUTTING
(FIG. 5)
WARNING!
Keep the Shoe pressed firmly against the
workpiece while cutting to prevent tool
kickback.
NOTE!
Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Do
not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do
the work.
CAUTION: Do not stare directly into the beam of the LED
light doing so may damage your eyes.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
(Fig. 5)
The variable speed dial (7) allows the user to control the
strokes per minute when using the tool (Fig.5).
To increase the cutting strokes per minute, turn the variable
speed dial clockwise.
To decrease the cutting strokes per minute, turn the variable
speed dial anticlockwise.
NOTE: When cutting softer materials, use a faster speed.
When cutting harder materials, use a slower speed.
