• At the same time push blade (A in the functional description) to the deepest position,
then release the quick-release blade clamp (C in the functional description). Make sure it
is securely fastened.
• When removing the saw blade (A in the functional description), follow the above
procedure in reverse order.
WARNING! Before plugging in battery pack, always pull on the blade to make sure it is
securely locked in the clamp. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
- To change angle of the pivot shoe
assembly
• The pivot shoe assembly can be adjusted in a
suitable angle by hand which is convenient for
operating this tool.
- To change position of the pivot shoe assembly
• Remove the battery from your saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your
saw could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
• Loosen the knob as clockwise.
• Reposition pivot shoe assembly in
or out.
• Retighten the knob as anticlockwise.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Slide a fully charged battery pack into the bottom of the handle, making sure that it clicks
into place. Be sure the battery pack is securely seated into the saw handle so it will not
• Firmly hold the reciprocating saw with both hands. Position the Blade near the work
switch trigger (E in the functional description) down.
speed before addressing it to the work piece.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the saw if the saw blade is in contact with anything before
operation. If necessary, lift the tool from the work piece before squeezing the ON/OFF
switch trigger.
• In preparation for making a cut, place the pivot shoe assembly (B in the functional
description) on the surface to be cut. Align the saw blade with the direction of the cut
and slowly lower the saw blade onto the cut line to begin the cut. Do not attempt to cut
with the tip of the blade; kickback and damage to the blade could result.
• When finished cutting, release the ON/OFF switch trigger to stop the tool.
• Remove the battery pack and the saw blade.
• Clean, then store the saw indoors and out of children's reach.

- General 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. Don't bend or twist the blade, let the tool
and the blade do the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are for
cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher speed.
If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade. Replace blades
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, slowly lower the saw
until the bottom edge of the shoe rests on the work piece and the blade is not touching the
work piece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full 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.
