instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold reciprocating saw by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and
building materials while resting firmly on the workpiece. It is suitable
for straight and curved cuts.
ASSEMBLY
1. TOOL-LESS BLADE FITTING AND REMOVING (SEE FIG. A)
WARNING: Remove the plug from the power source
before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp. Always wear
protective gloves. For best cutting results ensure you
use a saw blade suited to the material and cut quality you
need.
1) Rotate the tool-free blade clamp lever anti-clockwise to its
maximized angle and hold it.
2) Insert the blade shank into the blade clamp through the blade
guard until it stops. Ensure the small hole in the blade is on the
pin in the clamp.
3) Release the tool-free blade clamp lever. The clamp lever will
return to original position automatically.

OPERATION
1. PIVOT FOOT PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. B)
The pivot foot plate tilts in order to keep as much of its surface in
contact with the work surface.
To adjust the pivot foot plate, hold the saw firmly and turn the pivot
foot plate to a desired position.
2. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. C1, C2)
If you need to reduce the cutting capacity of your tool (depth of cut),
the pivot foot plate may be adjusted as follows.
1) Loosen the foot plate adjustment lever by turning it downwards
to the underside of the front housing.
2) Slide the pivoting footplate forwards or backwards to a required
position.
3) Tighten the foot plate adjustment lever by turning it upwards to
the original position. Check that the foot plate is firmly latched.
3. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (SEE FIG. D)
Depress the On/Off switch to start and release it to stop your tool.
4. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG. D)
The on/off switch is also a variable speed controlled trigger switch.
The blade plunger stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum
to maximum by the pressure you apply to the on/off switch. Apply
