CAUTION:
Keep hands and fingers away from the lever during the switching operation. Failure to do so
may cause personal injuries.
NOTE: If you remove the Sabre saw blade without rotating the blade clamp sleeve fully, the sleeve may not
be fixed. In this case, rotate the blade clamp sleeve fully, then make the sleeve fixed at the released position.
NOTE: If the blade clamp lever is positioned inside the tool, switch on the tool just a second to let the blade
out as shown in the figure. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool before installing or removing the
reciprocating saw blade.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece during operation. If the shoe is removed or
held away from the workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing
the blade to snap dangerously.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying chips when cutting metal.
CAUTION:
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which conforms with current national standards.
CAUTION:
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause
premature blade wear.
CAUTION:
Do not quirk the blade during cutting.
CAUTION:
Always Use the correct type of saw blade. Wood cutting blade for wood cutting and plastic
cutting, Steel cutting blade for ferrous materials or metal cutting.
Wood cutting
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the tool to bounce. Bring the reciprocating saw
blade into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster
speed to continue cutting
