The internal sensors will turn the tool off if the
tool and/or battery pack are overloaded. Rest
the tool for a while or place the tool and battery
pack separately under air flow to cool them.
The LED lights will flash more slowly to indicate
that the battery is at low-battery capacity.
Recharge the battery pack.
BLADE SELECTION
To obtain the best performance from the saw,
it is important to select the correct blade for the
particular application and type of material to be
cut.

shock. When sawing into walls or floors you
may encounter electrical wiring. Sawing into a
"live" wire will conduct electricity into the tool.
a. Place the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the
tool.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly
clamped in place to keep it from slipping or
moving while cutting.
c. Install the appropriate type and size of blade
for the workpiece material and size.
d. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so
that the blade will not contact another surface.
e. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal,
apply cutting oil to the line.
f. Attach the battery pack to the one-handed
reciprocating saw.

Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch
(TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades
with more teeth per inch are better for cutting
metal or plastic. We recommend 6 TPI blades
for wood and 14 TPI blades for metals.

g. Hold the saw firmly. Make sure to keep your
hands on the insulated gripping areas only.
h. Depress the lock-off button to the unlocked
position and squeeze the variable-speed
trigger switch to start the saw and bring it to
the maximum desired cutting speed before
applying the blade to the workpiece.
i. Place the shoe firmly on the workpiece while
cutting. Use only enough steady pressure
on the blade to keep the saw cutting. Do not
force the tool.
j. Reduce the pressure as the blade comes to
the end of the cut.
k. Allow the saw to come to a complete
stop before removing the blade from the
workpiece.
NOTE: Cutting speeds should vary with the
workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals,
require lower speeds; use higher speeds for
softer materials.
