20V 7/8" RECIPROCATING SAW 13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Variable-Speed Trigger Switch and
Lock-off Button
Your tool is equipped with a variable-
speed trigger switch. And a Lock-off
button located above the variable-speed
trigger switch, to prevent the saw from
being activated unintentionally.
To switch on
1. Depress the Lock-off button from
either the left or right side, and
hold it in place.
2. Squeeze the variable-speed trgger
switch.
NOTICE:
The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger
pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
To switch off
Release the variable-speed trigger switch.
6. General Cutting
WARNING:
Never use the wood-cutting blade for cutting metals. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before attaching the battery pack, always check to determine that the switch
and lock-off button perform properly and return to the “OFF” position when released.
WARNING:
Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and the insulated grip area to help
prevent electrical shock. When sawing into walls or floors you may encounter electrical
wiring. Sawing into a “live” wire will conduct electricity into the tool.
a. Make sure the workpiece is firmly anchored. Clamp the workpiece to prevent
slipping or moving while cutting.
b. Intall the appropriate type and size of blade for the workpiece material and size.
c. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make sure that the blade will extend beyond
the shoe and through the workpiece at all times.
d. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to expose unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
e. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not contact another
surface.
f. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
g. Attach the battery pack to the reciprocating saw.
h. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Make sure to keep your hands on the insulated
gripping areas only.
