NOTICE:
Always use the recipro saw blade
intended for cutting the material that you are
going to cut. Especially, when cutting stainless
steel or cast iron pipe, be sure to use the recipro
saw blade exclusively designed for cutting such
materials.
NOTICE:
Depending on the materials to be cut,
cutting in high speed may shorten the life of the
recipro saw blade.

Lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after
releasing the switch trigger.
NOTE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
NOTE:
When the tool is overheated, the lamp blinks
for one minute. In this case, cool down the tool before
another operation.
Adjusting the shoe
When the recipro saw 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 recipro saw blade.
The position of the shoe can be adjusted in 6 levels.
To reposition the shoe, open the shoe adjusting lever
and select the suitable position, then close the shoe
adjusting lever.
