1. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save ali warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power too)" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tooIs in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
e) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contaet with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
e) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power too! will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power too).
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable far outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
t) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power too! may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at ali times. This enables better control of the
power too! in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loase clothes , jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
theseare connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
too! will do the Job better and safer at the rafe for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power too) if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power too/ is maintained.
2. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
a) Always holding at the insulated grip surface to avoid being electric shocked in case of cutting live
wires.
b) Do not stare at cutting blade. If blade was broken, it may cause injury to user.
c) Allow the too! to come to a complete stop before putting it down. A running tool will jerk when the
blade tip contacts any surface.
d) Always wear safety glasses or goggles. Normal prescription eye or sunglasses are not safety
glasses.
e) Do not cut oversized work pieces
f) Do not cut nails or screws unless you are usmg a blade specifically designed for this purpose,
inspect your material before cutting
g) Before switching on the tool, be sure the blade is not contacting the work piece.
h) Keep hands away from moving parts and on the top surface of the work piece. Do not place
hands below work piece while saw is operating.
i) Check your area for proper clearance before cutting. This will avoid cutting into your work bench,
the floor, etc.
3. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Assembly
• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating name plate of char-
ger.
• To avoid accidental start, please remove the batter pack and keep switch on off shift.
Install the blade
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Rotate the Quick-release blade clamp(4) anticlockwise with hand.
3. At the same time push blade (1) to the deepest position, then release the quick-release blade
clamp.
4. Make sure it is securely fastened.
WARNING!
Before plugging in power cord, always pull on the blade to make sure it is securely
locked in the clamp. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Operation swtich on and off (Fig. 3)
1. Connect the battery.
2. Press the safety button(6) first.
3. Press the on/off switch(7) to start machine.
4. Grasp the switch button(l) again and release it, the saw will be switched off.
Speed adjusting knob (Fig.3)
Increasing or reducing the pressure on the switch(7) allows infinite stroke speed adjustment.
Slight pressure on the switch(7) results in a low movement speed. An increase in pressure
Increases the movement speed.
The necessary number of strokes depends on the material and working conditions, and can be
verified in a practical test.
A decrease in the number is recommended when placing the saw blade on the workpiece , as well
as when cutting plastic and aluminium.
Cutting
Clamp your work piece if it is portable, rest the front shoe of the saw on your work piece (be sure
the blade is not contacting the work piece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in the
direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the work piece at all times, Do not force
the cut or stall the saw bald. Don 't bend or twist the blade, Jet the too) and the blade cutting work
piece smoothly.In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics , and composites , and finer
blades are for cutting metal, chattering or vibration may indicate you need fine blade or higher
speed, if the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade when they
become dull, Dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out area, place the tip of
the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut, slowing lower the saw until the button
edge of the shoe rests on the work piece and the blade not touching the work piece, start the saw
and allow it to attain fu]] speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the saw forward to
lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular to the
work piece.
Metal cutting
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose. You may use light
oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent overheating of the blade, help the blade cut
faster, and promote longer blade life.
Depth of cut adjustment
The front shoe can be adjusted to change the depth of cut of you reciprocating saw, To adjust the
depth of the cut, loasen the front shoe locking nut (7) by the provided wrench. Set your depth of
cut (Note: ideal depth of cut is 1 " deeper than material to be cut) then tighten the front shoe
locking nut securely.
