Adjusting the shoe
Fig.6
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help
to lengthen the life of the blade.
To reposition the shoe, loosen the bolt with hex wrench.
Slide the shoe to the desired position and then tighten
the bolt firmly.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the saw blade
CAUTION:
•
Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade, blade clamp and/or slider.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening
of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
For Model DJR143, DJR183
Fig.7
Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far
as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes
the saw blade. Make sure that the saw blade cannot be
extracted even though you try to pull it out.
CAUTION:
•
If you do not insert the saw blade deep enough,
the saw blade may be ejected unexpectedly during
operation. This can be extremely dangerous.
NOTE:
•
You can not use the jig saw blade with DJR143 or
DJR183.
