Operation
Dual Work Light
The Saw is equipped with a dual work light to make working in poor lighting
easier. Turn on the work light by pressing the button (7). To turn off the work light,
press again.
Pivoting Shoe
The pivoting shoe (2) serves as a support when cutting. The pivoting shoe is
freely movable and can be tilted according to application, so that it can be
adapted to the cutting operation. By adjusting the pivoting shoe, the blade length
can be optimally used and the accessibilities in corners will be improved.
1. To adjust the length of the pivoting shoe, loosen both hex screws (11) with
the supplied hex key (12) and pull the pivoting shoe outwards resp. push the
pivoting shoe completely inwards. The pivoting shoe can be extended up to a
length of 2.5 cm.
2. Re-tighten the hex screws firmly.
Rotatable Saw Handle
For optimum handling and for controlled cutting from any angle, the saw handle
can be turned. The saw handle can be rotated up to 180° with eight positions (the
angle settings are 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° to the left and 45°, 90° and 135° to the
right as well as 180°) after operating the rotation slider (6). Only rotate the saw
handle when the reciprocating saw is switched off.
Stroke Rate
The stroke rate can be adjusted during operation with the adjusting dial (8).
Adjust the cutting speed on the relevant material. In general, a higher speed is
used for softer materials such as wood, composites and plastics. A lower speed is
used for more precise cuts or harder materials such as sheet metal, cable ducts
and pipes
