SETUP
WARNING!
Ensure the tool is turned off
and disconnected from the power supply
before performing any of the following
operations.
Selecting the Correct Saw Blade
Before installing a blade, remove any debris and foreign
matter adhering to the blade and within the blade holder.
Failure to do so may prevent the blade from being
properly secured and dislodging during use, resulting in
a serious injury.
Reciprocating saw blades come in a variety of
sizes, materials and tooth designs, according to the
applications for which they are best suited.
Before purchasing new blades,
please check
on the blade packaging for the suitability of the blade for
the job at hand.
Blade Installation
CAUTION!
Blades are sharp. Use gloves
to avoid accidentally cutting yourself.
1. With two fingers, rotate the Tool-Free Blade Holder
anti-clockwise.
2. Insert the blade with your other hand while keeping
the Tool-Free Blade Holder rotated.

CONTROLS
Adjusting the Pivoting Shoe
If the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along the cutting edge, it is possible to reposition the
adjustable pivoting shoe so as to utilise a sharper,
unused portion of the blade. This will help to lengthen
the life of the blade.
1. Loosen the 2 pivoting shoe Locking Screws
underneath the front handle using the supplied hex
key.
2. Slide the Pivoting Shoe to reposition into the desired
location.
Fig. B
3. Tighten both pivoting shoe Locking Screws to secure
in position.
On/Off Switch
1. To turn the saw on, squeeze the On/Off Trigger.
2. To turn the saw off, release the On/Off Trigger.
Note: Always squeeze and release the On/Off Trigger
before connecting to a power supply. This will ensure
the lock-on button is not engaged.
Lock-On Button
The lock-on button locks the on/off trigger in the “on”
position allowing the saw to continue operation without
holding the on/off trigger down which reduces user
fatigue.
1. Squeeze and hold the On/Off Trigger to start
operation.
2. Press the Lock-On Button in and then release the On/
Off Trigger. (The switch will remain locked on)

OPERATION
WARNING!
The power supply for this
product should be protected by a residual
current device (rated at 30mA or less).
Cutting Procedure
1. Press the adjustable pivoting shoe firmly against
the work piece without allowing the blade to make
contact.
2. Press the On/Off Trigger to start the reciprocating saw
and gently apply downward force to begin cutting.
3. When you have finished cutting, release the On/Off
Trigger to stop the saw.
NOTE:
When cutting metal, always use a suitable
coolant such as cutting oil to prevent premature blade
wear.
CAUTION!
During operation, always
press the adjustable pivoting shoe firmly
against the work piece. If the shoe is held
away from the work piece during operation,
strong vibration and/or kickback may occur,
causing the blade to snap and creating
danger for the operator and others in the
vicinity.
NOTE:
To achieve a secure hold of the saw during
operation always use both hands to grip the anti-
vibration overmould and the operating handle at the
same time.
3. To unlock the On/Off Trigger and stop the saw, simply
squeeze and release the On/Off Trigger.
